  Purpose: The objective of this study was to examine the impact of trapezius muscle thickness measurements on bench press single repetition maximum (1RM) power output. Material and Methods: The study included 13 male bodybuilders who participated in national and international professional natural bodybuilding competitions and 13 healthy sedentary male subjects. Body composition, 1RM values and ultrasonographic measurements of trapezius muscle thickness were obtained from the participants. Results: The findings revealed that both the skin-to-superficial muscle tissue (R1, L1) and skin-to-deep fascia (R2, L2) distances were significantly lower in sedentary individuals compared to bodybuilders (p<0.001). Additionally, 1RM strength output was significantly higher in bodybuilders than in sedentary individuals. In sedentary individuals, a moderate negative correlation was observed between the distance between superficial muscle and 1RM, and a low positive correlation was observed between the distance between deep fascia and skin surface. In contrast, a low negative correlation was found in both parameters in bodybuilders. Conclusion: Our findings indicate that trapezius muscle thickness is significantly lower in sedentary individuals compared to bodybuilders, both in superficial and deep tissue layers. We believe that the skin surface imaging method used in our study could be an effective tool for predicting injuries in athletes. Additionally, we believe that regular imaging follow-ups in athletes could provide important information about adaptations in muscle structures resulting from applied training stimuli.

  Comparison of drop table and diversified chiropractic techniques in patients with non-specific neck pain; [Comparação das técnicas quiropráticas drop table e diversified em pacientes com dor cervical inespecífica]

  Introduction: Neck pain is a common musculoskeletal disorder associated with pain, reduced cervical mobility, and decreased muscle strength, often leading to functional limitations. Chiropractic manipulation is widely used as a conservative treatment, yet the comparative effects of different techniques remain unclear. ## Objective To compare the effects of the diversified and drop table chiropractic techniques on pain, cervical range of motion, and muscle strength in individuals with non-specific neck pain. ## Methods This randomized controlled clinical trial included 45 participants with non-specific neck pain, randomly assigned to three groups: diversified (DG; n = 15), drop table (DTG; n = 15), and control (CG; n = 15). Interventions were applied twice weekly for four weeks. The primary outcome measure was pain level assessed using the McGill Pain Questionnaire. Secondary outcome measures were cervical joint range of motion assessed with a goniometer and isometric neck muscle strength assessed using a microFET2 dynamometer. Outcomes were assessed pre- and post-intervention. ## Results Both DG and DTG demonstrated significant increases in cervical range of motion compared with the CG. Pain levels significantly decreased in both intervention groups. DG showed significant improvements across all isometric muscle strength measures, while DTG demonstrated selective improvements in flexion and right lateral flexion. CG showed no significant changes, except a decrease in extensor strength. ## Conclusion Chiropractic interventions effectively reduce pain and enhance cervical function in individuals with non-specific neck pain. The diversified technique provided broader muscle strength improvements, while the drop table technique showed more selective effects, emphasizing the need for individualized technique selection in clinical practice.

  Hand grip strength in young adults: association with obesity-related anthropometric variables

  Aim: The aims of this study were to evaluate hand grip strength in young adults, to examine its relationship with anthropometric values, and to determine which values are predictive. Subject and methods: This prospective, cross-sectional study was conducted with 913 healthy young adults aged 18–30 years. A questionnaire form was administered in face-to-face interviews, and anthropometric measurements including height, body weight, waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC), mid-upper arm circumference (MAC), neck circumference (NC), triceps skinfold thickness (TSF), and hand grip strength (kg) were performed for each participant. Results: Hand grip strength was significantly higher for men than for women (p < 0.001), and was also higher in obese and overweight people compared to underweight participants (p < 0.001). Hand grip strength was correlated with weight, height, body mass index, MAC, TSF, WC, and NC (p < 0.001). The predictive ability of anthropometric measurements in estimating hand grip strength was thus demonstrated in a large population of healthy young adults. Significant regression was found, with an R2 value of 0.556. Hand grip strength increased by 0.282 kg for each centimeter of height and by 0.135 kg for each centimeter of MAC. The hand grip strength of male participants was 0.424 kg greater than that of females. Height, MAC, TSF, and sex were significant predictors of hand grip strength. Conclusion: According to our results, variability in hand grip strength among healthy subjects can be explained by height, MAC, TSF, WC, HC, age, and sex. The estimation of hand grip strength could be established based on these demographic and anthropometric variables.
