Body fat is a predictor of physical fitness in obese adolescent handball athletes
( MDPI AG , 2020 , Article)We examined the relationships between body fat (BF) and field measures of physical fitness in adolescent handball players. Twenty nine players (age: 16.6 ± 1.72 years; body mass: 79.8 ± 17.0 kg; height: 1.70 ± 0.12 m; body ... -
Characteristics of preferred gait patterns: considerations for exercise prescription - Chapter 7
( Nova Science Publishers, Inc. , 2016 , Book chapter)Gait patterns have been widely studied in different fields of science for their particular characteristics. A dynamic approach of human locomotion considers walking and running as two stable behaviours adopted spontaneously ... -
Characteristics of preferred walking patterns in young Qatari adults
( Qatar Foundation , 2016 , Conference)Walking is the most natural and important activity of daily living as it refers to the primary type of terrestrial human locomotion. Analyses of gait patterns typically examine the speed and manner in which people prefer ... -
