Abstract. Introduction. In this article we present the results of an investigation that analyzes the degree of satisfaction of a professional Spanish soccer club. Professional satisfaction is the positive emotional state and enjoyment of a person with their work experiences. Methodology. The study is quantitative in nature, with data extracted from a questionnaire carried out by the coaching staff (n=3) and players from the first squad (n=16) of a Spanish second division team. Results. The results show us that, although the general feeling is of satisfaction with the profession, elements and factors appear that negatively affect this perception. Conclusions. Having the felt support of sports management, group cohesion and camaraderie could help improve satisfaction between the coaching staff and the players. Resumen. Introducción. En el presente artículo presentamos los resultados de una investigación en la que se analiza el grado de satisfacción de un club profesional del fútbol español. La satisfacción profesional es el estado emocional positivo y de disfrute de una persona con sus experiencias laborales. Metodología. El estudio tiene un carácter cuantitativo, con datos extraídos de un cuestionario realizado por el cuerpo técnico (n=3) y jugadores de la primera plantilla (n=16) de un equipo de segunda división de España. Resultados. Los resultados nos muestran que, si bien el sentimiento general es de satisfacción con la profesión, aparecen elementos y factores que afectan negativamente a esta percepción. Conclusiones. Contar con el apoyo sentido de la dirección deportiva, la cohesión grupal y el compañerismo podrían ayudar a mejorar la satisfacción entre el cuerpo técnico y los jugadores.

La evolución del entrenamiento y los métodos de enseñanza han sido desde hace muchos años un tema frecuente de investigación en la ciencia del deporte, llegando a todas las modalidades deportivas, incluido el fútbol. Además, en el fútbol, el entrenamiento del portero ha sido abordado desde una perspectiva aislada del grupo y de su interacción con el juego. En esta investigación, se plantea la hipótesis de si el uso de una metodología tradicional genera el mismo nivel de satisfacción en los porteros en etapa de iniciación, que una metodología que se caracterice por promover la capacidad de adaptación del jugador. Se desarrollaron dos sesiones de entrenamiento con dos metodologías diferentes, una tradicional (MT) y otra con una metodología activa (MA) dónde participaron porteros de un club de fútbol profesional español(n=20) en edad de iniciación deportiva (M=10.35±1.22). Una vez finalizada la sesión de entrenamiento se les pasó el cuestionario Sport Satisfaction Instrument (SSI) para conocer si había diferencias significativas en el nivel de satisfacción mostrado con cada una de las metodologías. Los resultados mostraron diferencias significativas p<0.05 entre ambas metodologías, con niveles superiores en satisfacción para MA (M=4.51±0.59) y menores en aburrimiento (M=1.27±0.36). Se puede concluir que la MA mostró niveles de satisfacción mayores que la MT, siendo una metodología que favorece el aprendizaje y la adherencia al deporte. Palabras clave: metodología, fútbol, portero, adherencia al deporte, entrenamiento. Abstract. The evolution of training and teaching methods has been a frequent subject of research in sports science for many years, reaching all sports modalities, including football. Also, in football, goalkeeper training has been approached from an isolated perspective of the group and its interaction with the game. In this research, it is hypothesized whether the use of a traditional methodology generates the same level of satisfaction in goalkeepers in the initiation stage, as a methodology characterized for promoting the player's ability to adapt. Two training sessions were developed with two different methodologies, one traditional (TM) and the other with an alternative methodology (AM) where goalkeepers (n=20) of sports initiation age (M=10.35±1.22) participated. Once the training session was over, they were given the Sport Satisfaction Instrument (SSI) questionnaire to find out if there were significant differences in the level of satisfaction shown with each of the methodologies. The results showed significant differences p<0.05 between both methodologies, with higher levels in satisfaction for AM (M=4.51±0.59) and lower levels in boredom (M=1.27±0.36). It can be concluded that the AM showed higher levels of satisfaction than the TM, being a methodology that favors learning and adherence to sport. Key words: methodology, football, goalkeeper, sport adherence, training.

La práctica regular de Actividad Física Deportiva (en adelante AFD) tiene efectos beneficiosos a nivel físico y cognitivo. En este segundo nivel, los trabajos recientes, han encontrado mejora en memoria, en rendimiento académico, en autoestima, en atención y en Funciones Ejecutivas. En el presente trabajo de corte descriptivo-inferencial han participado 110 estudiantes de Educación Primaria y de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria de las localidades de Ourense y Málaga, con edades comprendidas entre 8 y 14 años (M=9,89; DT=1,534). Los estudiantes se asignaron a diferentes grupos: estudiantes que practican AFD federados en clubes deportivos a nivel competitivo o AFD-F (n= 37), estudiantes que practican AFD en horario extraescolar en los centros educativos o AFD-C (n=37) y un grupo de estudiantes que no practicaban ningún tipo de AFD No AFD (n=36). Los resultados muestran la modulación de la AFD en diferentes modalidades de inhibición, comparando estudiantes que practican o no AFD (en línea con trabajos previos). En un segundo momento, se ha analizado si la modalidad de AFD contribuye al desarrollo diferencial de la inhibición. Los resultados muestran que AFD, independientemente del tipo de actividad realiaza (AFD-F vs. AFD-C), mejora la habilidad para cumplir las reglas, perfecciona la precisión en los procesos de búsqueda visual y optimiza la habilidad de flexibilidad cognitiva, todos ellos componentes esenciales de las FE. Sin embargo, la práctica de AFD-F mejora el control de la impulsividad y el control atencional en comparación con la práctica de AFD-C. The regular practice of Sports Physical Activity (hereinafter SPA) has beneficial effects at a physical and cognitive level. In this second level, recent works have found improvement in memory, in academic performance, in self-esteem, in attention and in Executive Functions. In this descriptive-inferential study, a sample of 110 students of Primary and Secondary Education from Ourense and Málaga (Spain) between the ages of 8 and 14 years was used (M=9.89; SD=1.534). The participants were assigned to three groups: students who practice federated physical-sports activity in sports clubs at a competitive level or SPA-F (n=37), students who practice physical-sports activity in out-of-school hours in schools or SPA-C (n=37) and a group of students who did not practice any type of physical-sports activity Not-SPA (n=36) The results show the modulation of SPA in different inhibition modes, comparing students who do not practice SPA and those who practice SPA, in line with previous work. In a second step, we analyzed whether the SPA modality, that is, whether it is developed in a sports club and therefore the students are federated (SPA -F) or whether it is developed in the school's extracurricular activities (SPA-C), contributes to the differential development of inhibition. The results show that SPA, regardless of where they carry out the activity, improves the ability to follow the rules, perfects the precision of visual search processes and, optimizes the ability of cognitive flexibility, all of which are essential components of FE. The practice of SPA-F improves impulsivity control and attentional control compared to the practice of SPA-C. La pratica regolare dell'Attività Fisica Sportiva (di seguito AFD) ha effetti benefici fisici e cognitivi. Nell'ultimo decennio c'è stato un crescente interesse nel determinare in che modo le abilità cognitive traggono beneficio dall'esercizio fisico, e in questo senso sono stati riscontrati miglioramenti nella memoria, nel rendimento accademico, nell'autostima, nell'attenzione e nelle funzioni esecutive derivanti dalla normale pratica dell'AFD. In questo studio descrittivo-inferenziale è stato utilizzato un campione di 110 studenti delle scuole elementari e medie di Ourense e Malaga (Spagna) di età compresa tra gli 8 e i 14 anni (M=9,89; SD=1,534). I partecipanti sono stati distribuiti in tre gruppi: studenti che praticano attività sportive fisiche in club sportivi competitivi o AFD-F (n=37), studenti che praticano attività sportive fisiche al di fuori dell'orario scolastico nelle scuole o AFD-C (n=37) e un gruppo di studenti che non praticano alcun tipo di attività sportiva fisica Non AFD (n=36) I risultati mostrano la modulazione dell'AFD in diverse modalità di inibizione, confrontando gli studenti che non praticano l'AFD con quelli che lo praticano, secondo il lavoro precedente. In una seconda fase, abbiamo analizzato se la modalità AFD, cioè se si sviluppa in un club sportivo e quindi gli studenti sono federati (AFD-F) o se si sviluppa nelle attività extrascolastiche della scuola (AFD-C), contribuisce allo sviluppo differenziale dell'inibizione. I risultati mostrano che l'AFD, indipendentemente dal luogo in cui svolge l'attività, migliora la capacità di seguire le regole, migliora l'accuratezza dei processi di ricerca visiva e ottimizza la capacità di flessibilità cognitiva, tutti componenti essenziali di FE. La pratica AFD-F migliora il controllo dell'impulsività e il controllo attento rispetto alla pratica AFD-C.

Na última década tem havido um interesse crescente em determinar como as capacidades cognitivas são beneficiadas pelo exercício físico, e neste sentido foram encontradas melhorias na memória, desempenho académico, auto-estima, atenção e funções executivas a partir da prática regular da AFD. Neste estudo descritivo-inferencial, foi utilizada uma amostra de 110 estudantes do Ensino Primário e Secundário de Ourense e Málaga (Espanha) entre os 8 e 14 anos de idade (M=9,89; SD=1,534). Os participantes foram distribuídos por três grupos: estudantes que praticam actividade físico-desportiva federada em clubes desportivos a nível competitivo ou AFD-F (n=37), estudantes que praticam actividade físico-desportiva em horário extra-escolar nas escolas ou AFD-C (n=37) e um grupo de estudantes que não praticam qualquer tipo de actividade físico-desportiva Não AFD (n=36) Os resultados mostram a modulação da AFD em diferentes modos de inibição, comparando os estudantes que não praticam AFD e os que praticam AFD, de acordo com o trabalho anterior. Numa segunda fase, analisámos se a modalidade AFD, ou seja, se é desenvolvida num clube desportivo e portanto os alunos são federados (AFD-F) ou se é desenvolvida nas actividades extracurriculares da escola (AFD-C), contribui para o desenvolvimento diferencial da inibição. Os resultados mostram que a AFD, independentemente do local onde realizam a actividade, melhora a capacidade de seguir as regras, aperfeiçoa a precisão dos processos de busca visual e optimiza a capacidade de flexibilidade cognitiva, todos eles componentes essenciais da FE. A prática da AFD-F melhora o controlo de impulsividade e o controlo atento em comparação com a prática da AFD-C.

I criminologi si trovano sempre più spesso ad affrontare la problematica relati-va al verificarsi di abusi e maltrattamenti su minori. Tale questione, però, risulta difficilmente indagabile per via della natura fragile delle vittime e per i contesti in cui solitamente si verificano questi eventi e cioè gli ambienti familiari o quelli a ca-rattere istituzionale (come scuole, centri ricreativi e sportivi, strutture ecclesiastiche). Negli ultimi anni alcuni scandali relativi ad abusi perpetrati nei confronti dei minori all'interno di organizzazioni religiose e/o di ispirazione religiosa hanno de-stato l'interesse dell'opinione pubblica angloamericana, ma non solo. Questo particolare tipo di contesto in cui vengono perpetrati tali abusi su minori conduce a dover affrontare la questione sotto molteplici aspetti. Difatti, in deter-minati ambienti, molti fattori concorrono a rendere difficoltosa l'individuazione dell'abuso che risulta, per questo motivo, estremamente sottostimato. Il presente articolo, grazie alle informazioni ricavate da interviste semi-strutturate e focus group effettuati con criminologi, operatori del controllo sociale, educatori ed assistenti sociali nell'ambito della ricerca europea "SAFE - Suppor-ting Action to Foster Embedding of child safeguarding policies in Italian faith led organizations and sports club for children" (grant agreement n° 856807), si concentrerà sulla problematica degli abusi sui minori in organizzazioni religiose e/o di ispirazione religiosa con il fine di raccogliere nuovi elementi sul fenomeno, carat-terizzato da un elevato numero oscuro, e di proporre strategie d'intervento per la prevenzione della vittimizzazione. La partecipazione allo studio di testimoni signi-ficativi impreziosisce la pertinenza dell'approccio qualitativo proposto ed è utile per mettere in evidenza una questione scarsamente trattata dalla ricerca socio-criminologica italiana.

El objetivo del presente estudio es comprobar si existe relación entre las horas semanales de entrenamiento, la inteligencia emocional (IE) y la agresividad que manifiestan los deportistas. También se pretende conocer si es sexo, edad, cantidad de horas de entrenamiento y modalidad de práctica (deportes individuales, de contacto o de no contacto), infieren en la inteligencia emocional y la agresividad. Los participantes en el estudio han sido 472 deportistas españoles (n=235 varones y n=237 mujeres) pertenecientes a 22 clubs. Los resultados muestran que los deportistas que practican deportes de no contacto tienen mayor capacidad para identificar y valorar emociones que los deportistas que practican deportes de contacto; los practicantes de deportes de contacto, muestran mayores niveles de agresividad física o verbal, y hostilidad o ira, que los deportistas que practica deportes individuales y de no contacto. En cuanto al sexo los hombres presentan mayores niveles de agresividad física o verbal que las mujeres. Los de menos edad presentan mayores niveles de identificación y valoración emocional que los de media edad. Los de menor edad obtienen mayores puntuaciones que agresividad física o verbal y hostilidad e ira que los de mayor edad. Los sujetos que menos tiempo dedican a la práctica deportiva tienen mayores niveles de agresividad física o verbal que los que consumen más tiempo de entrenamiento. Los sujetos que tienen mayores niveles de agresividad física o verbal tienen menor capacidad para valorar las emociones. Abstract: The objective of the present study is to verify if there is a relation between weekly hours of training, emotional intelligence (EI) and aggressiveness that athletes show. It is also intended to know if gender, age, number of hours of training and practice modality (individual sports, contact or non-contact) infer with emotional intelligence and aggression. The participants in the study were 472 Spanish athletes (n = 235 males and n = 237 females) belonging to 22 clubs. The results show that athletes who practice non-contact sports have a greater capacity to identify and value emotions than athletes who practice contact sports; contact sports practitioners show higher levels of physical or verbal aggression and hostility or anger than athletes who practice individual and non-contact sports. Regarding gender, men have higher levels of physical or verbal aggression than women. Young-aged athletes have higher levels of identification and emotional assessment than those of middle age. Younger children obtain higher scores than physical or verbal aggressiveness and hostility and anger than older ones. Subjects who spend less time in sports have higher levels of physical or verbal aggression than those who spend more time training. Subjects who have higher levels of physical or verbal aggressiveness have less ability to assess emotions.

Objetivo: Comparar el estado de ánimo en un grupo de adultos físicamente activos (FA) entrenados de forma remota durante un periodo de cuarentena por COVID-19 y un grupo de adultos inactivos físicamente (IF). Métodos: Fue aplicada la Escala de Valoración del Estado de Ánimo (EVEA) a ambos grupos, FA (n = 15), edad 23±3,7 años de un club de cheerleading y a un grupo IF (n=15) edad 27±2,4 años, en dos ocasiones con un tiempo de separación de un mes. Se recopilaron datos, en ambos periodos, de estado de ánimo (EA), específicamente ansiedad, tristeza, alegría e ira. Fueron comparados los EA entre grupos en dos periodos y EA por grupo en cada periodo. Si el p-valor (sig) es menor a 0,05, se establece la presencia de diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre mediciones y los grupos. Para calcular el tamaño del efecto (TE) de la diferencia, se aplicó la prueba d de Cohen. Resultados: Arrojaron en ambas mediciones que FA presentó en comparación a IF menos ansiedad (p = 0,00; TE 1,37; p = 0,00; TE 2,07), tristeza (p = 0,06; TE 0,57; p = 0,00; TE 1,99) e ira (p = 0,00; TE 0,77; p = 0,00; TE 3,43), y mayor alegría (p = 0,01, TE 0,98; p = 0,00; TE 3,60) respectivamente. Además, FA en la 2ª medición disminuyó la tristeza (p = 0,25, TE 0,45) y la ira (p = 0,05, TE 0,57) y aumentó la alegría (p = 0,05; TE 0,75), mientras que IF aumentó la ira (p = 0.00; TE 2,11) y disminuyó la alegría (p = 0,12, TE 1,07). Conclusión: FA presento mejor estado de ánimo que IF en ambas mediciones durante la pandemia COVID-19, y disminuyó EA negativo y aumentó EA positivo, dando cuenta de los efectos positivos del ejercicio físico sobre EA. Palabras claves: Estado de ánimo, COVID-19, Nivel de actividad física, Pandemia, Cheerleading. Abstract. Objective: To compare mood in a group of physically active adults (PA) trained remotely during a COVID-19 quarantine period and a group of physically inactive adults (IF). Methods: The Mood Rating Scale (EVEA) was applied to both groups, PA (n = 15), age 23±3.7 years of a cheerleading club and to a group IF (n = 15) age 27±2.4 years, on two occasions with a separation time of one month. Data were collected, in both periods, on mood, specifically anxiety, sadness, joy and anger. Mood was compared between groups in two periods and mood by group in each period. If the p-value (sig) is less than 0.05, the presence of statistically significant differences between measurements and groups is established. To calculate the effect size (TE) of the difference, Cohen's d-test was applied. Results: Both measures showed that PA presented less anxiety compared to IF (p = 0.00; ES 1.37; p = 0.00; ES 2.07), sadness (p = 0.06; ES 0.57; p = 0.00; ES 1.99) and anger (p = 0.00; ES 0.77; p = 0.00; ES 3.43), and greater joy (p = 0.01, ES 0.98; p = 0.00; ES 3,60) respectively. In addition, PA in the 2nd measurement decreased sadness (p = 0.25, ES 0.45) and anger (p = 0.05, ES 0.57) and increased joy (p = 0.05; ES 0.75), while IF increased anger (p = 0.00; ES 2.11) and decreased joy (p = 0.12, ES 1.07). Conclusion: PA presented better mood than IF in both measures during the COVID-19 pandemic, and decreased negative mood and increased positive mood, accounting for the positive effects of physical exercise on mood. Keywords: Mood, COVID-19, Physical activity level, Pandemic, Cheerleading.

AbstractObjectiveThe current systematic review aimed to identify and critically appraise research on food environments in sports settings, including research into the types of food and beverages available, the extent and impact of food and beverage sponsorship and marketing, and views about food environments among key stakeholders.DesignA systematic review. Fourteen English-language studies (two were papers describing different facets of the same study), published between 1985 and 2011, were identified from searches of electronic databases and bibliographies of primary studies.SettingMost studies originated from Australia (n 10), with the remaining studies originating in the UK (n 1), New Zealand (n 1), the USA (n 1) and Canada (n 1). Data were collected from observations in stadia, websites and televised sports events, through in-depth interviews, focus groups and surveys with sports club members, parents and quick serve restaurant managers.ResultsLiterature exploring food environments in sports settings was limited and had some important methodological limitations. No studies comprehensively described foods available at clubs or stadia, and only one explored the association between food and beverage sponsorship and club incomes. Club policies focused on the impact of health promotion funding rather than the impact of sponsorship or food availability in sports settings.ConclusionsFurther research, including comprehensive studies of the food environment in sports settings, is required to document the availability, sponsorship and marketing of food and beverages at national, regional and club levels and to estimate how sports settings may influence children's diets.

Sport is a developing setting and a relevant system in health promotion but there are few examples of settings-based initiatives and systems thinking in sport. The Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA) Healthy Club Project (HCP) adopts a settings approach delivered through and by grassroots clubs who respond to local needs while working within a national support system. The aim of this evaluation was to assess and describe the health promotion impact and experience of the HCP. Healthy Clubs (n = 23) and Control Clubs (n = 10) completed a Healthy Club Questionnaire at the start and end of the 20-month HCP and Healthy Clubs took part in focus group discussions. Healthy Clubs, using the structures of the HCP, a commitment to health and community engagement, demonstrated a significant improvement in their overall orientation to health promotion, which was not apparent in Control Clubs. The health promotion message is pervading into many aspects of the GAA club apart from that which relates to the day to day business of coaching and providing physical activity for all. The HCP represents health promotion activity embedded within and across systems, with further development and evaluation recommended to measure delivery and impact at the individual level, organisational, and wider societal levels.

Background:Adolescents’ physical activity level is a major source of concern. For adolescents with long-term illnesses or disabilities (LTID), being physically active can prevent secondary conditions. This is one of the first studies reporting trends in physical activity of adolescents with LTID in relation to gender, age, and sports club membership.Methods:Data were collected from the Health Behavior in School-aged Children study in Finland during 2002, 2006, 2010, and 2014. In 13- and 15-year-olds (N = 2206), 17.1% reported having LTID. Daily physical activity recall was the dependent variable. Binary logistic regression analysis was conducted eparately for sports club members (n = 936) and nonmembers (n = 1270).Results:The proportion of physically active adolescents with LTID in 2014 was higher than in 2002 for girls (15.6% vs 8.7%) and boys (26.6% vs 13.0%). Girl sports club members were 2 times more likely to be physically active in 2014 than in 2002. The largest trend between 2014 and 2002 was among boy nonmembers (odds ratio: 4.62, 95% confidence interval, 2.02–10.58).Conclusions:More adolescents with LTID took part in daily moderate-to-vigorous physical activity in 2014 than in 2002; however, physical activity levels still remain low. Sports club membership was similar to that of the general population.

Background: Club sport participation is increasingly common among high school athletes. Sport participation characteristics may vary widely between the high school and club sport settings. However, there have been no large-scale comparisons of sport participation volume between high school and club teams from similar sports. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to compare the sport participation characteristics of high school and high school–aged club teams. We hypothesized that club team athletes would participate in more months per year and hours per week and would take more overnight trips than high school athletes and that club team coaches would be less likely to track their athletes’ sport volume than high school coaches. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: A total of 769 coaches (266 female; 34.6%) from 3 sports (basketball, volleyball, soccer) completed an anonymous online questionnaire regarding their team’s sport volume and their knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs regarding sport specialization. Coaches were eligible to participate if they had served as the head or assistant coach of a high school sport team or high school–aged club sport team in the past 12 months. Results: Overall, 64.6% (n = 497) were coaches of a high school team, and 35.4% (n = 272) were coaches of a club team with high school–aged athletes. Club coaches’ teams played more months out of the year and took more overnight trips for competitions than high school coaches’ teams but participated in fewer hours per week of practices or competitions during their season. There were no differences between club and high school coaches in tracking their athletes’ sport volume, with most coaches in both settings reporting that they do not track the amount of time that their athletes participate in other sports. Conclusion: Significant differences in sport participation volume exist between the teams of high school and club coaches.

The purpose of the research is to determinethe weight of the effort zones by monitoring the heart rate and themovement speedof the 10-year oldchildren during the football game. A number of 14 football players aged 10 years, from the School Sports Club no. 1 Pajura, Bucharest, participated in the research. The children, with a weight of 29.95±0.95 kg and a height of 137.7±1.89 cm, were divided into two groups: experimental group (n=7) and control group(n=7). The players from both groups were assigned to positions, namely: Goalkeeper and Central Defender, Offensive Central Defender, Central Midfielder, Right Midfielder , Left Midfielder andForward. The research was carried out inAugust 2022, at the ”Biruința” Sports Center of Bucharest, on a 60/40 m sized playing field, according to thestandard dimensionsgiven by the Bucharest Municipal Football Association. To monitor the effort zones in the football game, Vantage V – Polar FlowSync watch-type functional measurement systems were applied to the experimental group. The research results show the monitoring of the movement distance in training sessions, the heart rate (HR) average, maximum and minimum value and the average and maximum travel speedin the 1st and the 2nd half.There arehighlighted the dynamics of the recoveryin the 1st and the 2nd half and the graph of the individual values, as well as the relationship of the effort zones weight depending on the intensity of the HR and the movement speed.Thus, the analysis of the changes in HRand movement speed contributedto the determination of the characteristics of the effort zones specific to each football playing position in the children aged 10 years.

AUTHORS: Prof. PhD Sabina MACOVEI1, Assist. Lecturer PhD Student Leonard ACASANDREI1, PhD Student Mariana MEZEI1 National University of Physical Education and Sports, Bucharest Introduction Computerized baropodometry represents a technique specialized in the analysis of the distribution and measurement of plantar pressure exerted by different somatic structures, through an electronic recording platform. Determinant for the foot mechanics study, it provides objective data related to the body center of gravity distribution and, implicitly, to the possible dysfunctions at the spinal column level. Purpose Relying on some case studies, the present paper aims at using the electronic baropodometry, as an efficient modality to objectify the vertebral column dysfunctions in performance girl gymnasts, by considering their high incidence in this sports branch, with negative effects on the quality of life. Content In our study, we used the FootscanSystem device (developed by the Belgian Company "RSscan International") based on the Footscan Software 7.97 Gait 2nd Generation, to determine the plantar pressure distributions in the bipodal static situation and during the gate support phase. We conducted our research at "Dr. Nicolae Rob&#259;nescu" National Medical Center for Children's Rehabilitation in Bucharest and our subjects were the girl gymnasts from the Sports Club of UNEFS Bucharest. Conclusions Electronic baropodometry represents a unique and accurate evaluation tool that can be used to identify the forefoot or the rear-foot plantar pressure distribution, the maximum pressure points, the forefoot deviation tendency in supination or pronation, the way in which the center of gravity is distributed on each foot, as well as the association of some pathologies such as the spinal column dysfunctions or imbalances at the pelvis level.
