Bone mineral density in vocational and professional ballet dancers
(2017)Summary: According to existing literature, bone health in ballet dancers is controversial. We have verified that, compared to controls, young female and male vocational ballet dancers have lower bone mineral density (BMD) ... -
Cortical and trabecular bone analysis of professional dancers using 3D-DXA: a case–control study
(2019)Given the lack of relevant data, the aim of this study was to examine femur cortical and trabecular bone in female and male professional ballet dancers. 40 professional ballet dancers and 40 sex- and age-matched non-exercising ... -
Does living in urban or rural settings affect aspects of physical fitness in children? An allometric approach
(2005)Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate physical fitness in relation to fatness in urban and rural Greek children by means of allometric scaling. Methods: The sample consisted of 360 (189 urban and 171 rural; ... -
The effect of physical strain on breeders patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome
(2019)Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) in breeders patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Method: Thirty-two male participants (Age: 42.2 ± 7.3yrs, ... -
Endocrine parameters in association with bone mineral accrual in young female vocational ballet dancers
(2019)Summary: Less is known on bone mass gains in dancers involved in vocational dance training. The present study found that, as young vocational dancers progress on their professional training, their bone health remains ... -
Genetic variation in Wnt/β-catenin and ER signalling pathways in female and male elite dancers and its associations with low bone mineral density: a cross-section and longitudinal study
(2018)Summary: The association of genetic polymorphisms with low bone mineral density in elite athletes have not been considered previously. The present study found that bone mass phenotypes in elite and pre-elite dancers are ... -
Identifying early abdominal obesity risk in adolescents by telemedicine: A cross-sectional study in Greece
(2020)Obesity and thus, lipotoxicity, is a major health risk factor. Modern exposure to environmental chemicals has contributed significantly to the obesity epidemic. The purpose of this study was to assess, via telemedicine and ... -
Iron status markers are only transiently affected by a football game
(2015)We examined the temporal variation of iron’s status markers during a 60 h period following a football game. Thirty-four male football players were randomly assigned to a control group (CG, N = 14, participated only in ... -
Leg-length in relation to selected ballet performance indicators
(2017)It is unclear whether the modern ballet body stereotype of long limbs is advantageous in dance performance. Therefore, we investigated the relationship between leglength and selected dance movements representative of power, ... -
Physiology of activins/follistatins: associations with metabolic and anthropometric variables and response to exercise
(2018)Context: Clinical trials are evaluating the efficacy of inhibitors of the myostatin pathway in neuromuscular and metabolic diseases. Activins and follistatins are major regulators of the myostatin pathway, but their ... -
Restless legs syndrome in Multiple Sclerosis patients: a contributing factor for fatigue, impaired functional capacity, and diminished health-related quality of life
(2018)Objectives Restless legs syndrome (RLS) symptoms are common in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients. The aim of the current study was to examine for the first time whether RLS could affect the functional capacity and various ... -
Significant improvement of stress and aging biomarkers using a novel stress management program with the cognitive restructuring method “Pythagorean Self-Awareness Intervention” in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and healthy adults
(2021)Stress accelerates aging by affecting relevant cellular pathways including, among others, leucocyte telomere length (LTL) and proteasome levels. Their impaired function underlies several age-related and non-communicable ... -
Strength Training Induces Greater Increase in Handgrip Strength than Wrestling Training per se
(2020)This study investigated the effectiveness of a specialized strength training program on maximal handgrip strength in young wrestlers. 72 young wrestlers (36 children: 8-10 years-old and 36 adolescents:13-15 years-old) ...
