    The aim of this study is to establish a link between the performance at speed race and the somatotype within young students from Côte d’Ivoire who are candidates for the recruitment test organized by the National Institute of Youth and Sports. The study was performed on 669 girls at 21.80+2.26 year old and 1859 boys at 22.11+2.26 years. Anthropometrical measures were made out in order to estimate somatotype. For the speed, the subjects underwent a 80m speed race test for girls and a 100m speed race for boys. After a descriptive analysis of the somatotype components and the performance of girls and boys, we made a distribution of the gaps in performance (estimated performance – real performance) estimated by the regression and the real performance in order to check normality. To examine the relationship between somatotype, cormic index and the speed race, an equation of multiple regressions was performed. The distribution of the gaps in performance (estimated performance - real performance) estimated by the regression and real performance is normally distributed both in girls and boys. The results also indicate that a multiple and statistically significant link (p<0.05) exists between the performance and three (3) variables: endormorphy, ectomorphy and cormic index with boys and two (2) components of somatotype: endomorphy, mesomorphy with girls. The present study has allowed establishing a relationship between the performance at speed race and some of the components of the somatotype. The performance at 100m for boys and 80m for girls is well the result of a specific morphotype (endomorph) limiting the realization of good performances by these sprinters

    Context and objective. The relevance of facial morphometric reference values is pivotal in the diagnosis and therapeutic approach in orthodontic practice. Ethnic disparities are not yet established in our country. This pilot study aimed to describe the facial morphological angular peculiarities and those related to the aesthetic analyzes of the cutaneous profile of the young adult congolese Bantu with dental normocclusion. Methods. A cross-sectional study enrolled 156 young Congolese adults (males, 54.4%), with a mean age of 24.6 (range 18-30 years), randomly selected among Dental medicine students having complete permanent dentition and molar Class I dental occlusion. Collected data included the angles of the face and aesthetic analyzes. Standardized lateral photographic images were were considered for photogrammetric measurements. Student t test allowed statistical analysis. Results. Sexual dimorphism was observed in 10; out of 17 assessed variables. A relatively important method error was observed for the nasolabial and labio-mental angles. Two areas of fluctuation of mean values related to the sex were established in the form of polygons, providing orthodontic practitioners with an opportunity allowing quantification and localization of dysmorphoses. Conclusion. The current study relaying on photogrammetric data of the face highlights morphological facial angular and aesthetic peculiarities in young adult Congolese Bantu related to sexual dimorphism. Lateral photographs stand thus as a relevant alternative tool in the assessement of reference values of the Congolese subject's facial skin profile for diagnosis and therapeutic purposes.  Contexte et objectif. En pratique orthodontique, les valeurs morpho-mĂ©triques de rĂ©fĂ©rences de la face sont essentielles dans le diagnostic et la prise en charge thĂ©rapeutique des populations. Ces valeurs montrant une variabilitĂ© ethnique ne sont pas encore connues dans notre pays. La prĂ©sente Ă©tude avait pour objectif de dĂ©crire les particularitĂ©s morphologiques angulaires de la face et celles relatives aux analyses esthĂ©tiques du profil cutanĂ© du jeune adulte bantu congolais en normocclusion dentaire. MĂ©thodes. Dans une Ă©tude descriptive transversale, des jeunes adultes bantus congolais sĂ©lectionnĂ©s alĂ©atoirement parmi les Ă©tudiants de MĂ©decine dentaire ayant une denture permanente complète et en occlusion dentaire de classe I molaire ont Ă©tĂ© examinĂ©s. Les paramètres d’intĂ©rĂŞt comprenaient les donnĂ©es angulaires de la face et esthĂ©tiques. Des images photographiques latĂ©rales standardisĂ©es, ainsi que des mensurations photogrammĂ©triques ont Ă©tĂ© rĂ©alisĂ©es. Le test de student a Ă©tĂ© utilisĂ© pour les analyses statistiques selon le cas. RĂ©sultats. 156 Ă©tudiants ont Ă©tĂ© enrolĂ©s. Leur age moyen Ă©tait de 24,5 ans (hommes 54,4%). Un dimorphisme sexuel a Ă©tĂ© observĂ© dans dix des dix-sept variables Ă©valuĂ©es. Une erreur de la mĂ©thode relativement importante a Ă©tĂ© observĂ©e pour les angles naso-labial (Pr-Sn-Ls) et labio-mentonnier (Li-Sm-Pog). Deux aires de fluctuation des valeurs moyennes suivant le sexe, sous forme de polygones, ont Ă©tĂ© proposĂ©es aux praticiens orthodontiques et pourront permettre de quantifier et localiser les dysmorphoses. Conclusion. La prĂ©sente Ă©tude utilisant les donnĂ©es photogrammĂ©triques du visage a illustrĂ© des particularitĂ©s morphologiques faciales angulaires et esthĂ©tiques chez le jeune adulte bantu congolais liĂ©es au dimorphisme sexuel. Ainsi, les photographies latĂ©rales peuvent ĂŞtre une alternative fiable pour la dĂ©termination des valeurs normatives du profil cutanĂ© facial du sujet congolais et servir de rĂ©fĂ©rence pour la dĂ©marche diagnostique et thĂ©rapeutique

    Potentiel Physique et Auto-évaluation Corporelle Chez des Jeunes Étudiants à Abidjan

    The body of the young man seems to be characterized by a specific plasticity. This chrono-individual body modification oftentimes leads the young person to evaluate his own body according to body acquisitions. The relationship between these two variables is far from being sufficiently studied. This paper focuses on examining the self-evaluation of the body according to the physical potential. It covers 181 young people between the ages of 18 and 25, including 84 boys and 97 girls. Body self-judgment of the subjects was measured with a specific scale. In this case, it was measured by the study of Lentillon-Kaestner et al. The physical potential of young people was explored by considering weight, height, Body Mass Index (BMI) and Fat Mass Index (FMI) of the latter. The physical parameters were measured using the scales (weight) and the height gauge (stature). As for the body composition indices, they were calculated from the physical parameters previously indicated. The results obtained, after the comparisons of the subjects with each other, show that young people aged 18-21 years of physical threshold potential exhibit statistically high body self-acceptance frequency to that of their subthreshold potential counterparts and suprathreshold physical potential. Similar results were observed in young people between 22 and 25 years of age. In this group, those with a threshold of physical potential were more acceptable compared to their peers of subthreshold physical potential and supraliminal physical potential. Taking into account sex, girls aged 18 to 21 with a threshold physical potential do not differ from their peers with subthreshold physical potential and suprathreshold physical potential in terms of low body self-acceptance. The results are identical for men aged 18 to 21 and 22 to 25. The meaning of the results does not change when comparing girls with subthreshold physical potential to boys of identical physical potential.The observations made at the latter were repeated when comparing girls to boys of physical threshold potential. In girls aged 22 to 25, girls with subthreshold physical potential and suprathreshold or threshold were superimposed on their male counterparts of subthreshold physical potential and suprathreshold or threshold. This, however, is in regards to the frequency of body self-acceptance. In this sense, the physical potential of the young would not influence the bodily self-evaluation of the latter when the sex intervenes. On the other hand, considering all young people, their physical density varies based on their body self-evaluation

    Les mal-adaptabilitĂ©s  biologiques de l’enfant semblent ĂŞtre le produit des stimulations offertes par le milieu de vie. L’influence de celles-ci sur le fonctionnement biophysiologique de l’enfant n’est pas suffisamment examinĂ©e. La prĂ©sente Ă©tude se propose de comparer les mal-adaptabilitĂ©s biologiques des enfants consommant une eau de qualitĂ© pathogène Ă  celles de leurs pairs ayant accès Ă  une eau de qualitĂ© non pathogène. Cet examen a portĂ© sur 152 enfants ivoiriens âgĂ©s de 6 Ă  59 mois. Chez ces derniers, des prĂ©lèvements d’eau selon la source disponible dans le mĂ©nage ont Ă©tĂ© analysĂ©s. Ces analyses ont permis de dĂ©terminer le niveau de contamination microbiologique en recourant Ă  la mĂ©thode de la filtration sur membrane. L’examen des mal-adaptabilitĂ©s biologiques des deux groupes d’enfants s’est fait en considĂ©rant les frĂ©quences de pathologies physiques rĂ©currentes en une annĂ©e. Les rĂ©sultats montrent que les sujets qui consomment une eau de qualitĂ© pathogène prĂ©sentent une frĂ©quence de mal-adaptabilitĂ©s biologiques supĂ©rieure Ă  celle de leurs pairs consommant une eau de meilleure qualitĂ© microbiologique. Par exemple, les pathologies hydriques, telles les infections entĂ©riques, sont significativement diffĂ©rentes entre les deux groupes de nourrissons et d’enfants. On note respectivement une frĂ©quence de 8,9% ; 7,2% contre 0% ; 0%. Ces rĂ©sultats confirment l’hypothèse selon laquelle la qualitĂ© microbiologique de l’eau consommĂ©e dans un milieu de vie constitue un facteur qui exerce une action diffĂ©rentielle sur l’apparition des mal-adaptabilitĂ©s biologiques.   The biological maladjustments of the child seem to be the product of the stimuli offered by the living environment. The influence of these stimuli on the biophysiological functioning of the child has not been sufficiently examined. The present study compares the biological maladjustments of children consuming water of pathogenic quality with those of their peers having access to water of non-pathogenic quality. The study involved 152 Ivorian children aged 6 to 59 months. Water samples were taken from these children according to the source available in the household. These analyses were used to determine the level of microbiological contamination using the membrane filtration method. The examination of the biological maladjustments of the two groups of children was done by considering the frequencies of recurrent physical pathologies in one year. The results show that subjects consuming water of pathogenic quality have a higher frequency of biological maladjustments than their peers consuming water of better microbiological quality. For example, waterborne pathologies such as enteric infections are significantly different between the two groups of infants and children. The frequency was 8.9% and 7.2% respectively, compared to 0% and 0%. These results support the hypothesis that the microbiological quality of the water consumed in a living environment is a factor that exerts a differential action on the occurrence of biological maladjustments
