Comparison of Body Composition Among the Selected Groups of Female Kabaddi Players

Introduction: The aim of the present study was to find out the Body Composition of female Kabaddi players, It was also to compare the body composition characteristics among the groups of female kabaddi players. Method: A total of 101 national and University-level female Kabaddi players were selected as subjects for the study. Most of them were national-level players and very few were university-level players, the age range of the subjects was 18 years to 25 years. The subjects were taken from the East Zone of India. The subjects had experience in competitive Kabaddi for 10-12 years and also they were active in playing Kabaddi. After observing each subject’s playing position, subject’s view, and coach’s concern, they were divided into three groups Raider, Defender, and All-rounder. The Body Composition was considered as BMI, Body Density, % of Body Fat, Total Body Fat, and Lean Body Mass. Mean, Standard Deviation, Percentage, and One-Way ANOVA were calculated to differentiate among the groups. Result: The result concluded that the BMI of all female Kabaddi players was in the normal range. The Body Fat Percentage of female raider, defender and all-rounder Kabaddi players were 23.34 %, 24.7 %, and 23.8 % respectively. Lean Body Mass of female raider, defender, and all-rounder kabaddi players were 42.94 kg, 42.05 kg, and 42.82 kg respectively. Conclusion: Lastly, there were no significant differences among the different groups in the body composition characteristics of female kabaddi players.Introducción: El objetivo del presente estudio fue conocer la Composición Corporal de las jugadoras de Kabaddi. También fue comparar las características de composición corporal entre los grupos de jugadoras de Kabaddi. Métodos: Un total de 101 jugadoras de Kabaddi de nivel nacional y universitario fueron seleccionadas como sujetos para el estudio. La mayoría de ellos eran jugadores de nivel nacional y muy pocos eran jugadores de nivel universitario, el rango de edad de los sujetos fue de 18 años a 25 años. Los sujetos fueron tomados de la Zona Este de la India. Los sujetos tenían experiencia en Kabaddi competitivo durante 10-12 años y también estaban activos jugando Kabaddi. Después de observar la posición de juego de cada sujeto, la vista del sujeto y la preocupación del entrenador, se dividieron en tres grupos Raider, Defender y All-rounder. La Composición Corporal se consideró como IMC, Densidad Corporal, % de Grasa Corporal, Grasa Corporal Total y Masa Corporal Magra. Se calcularon la Media, la Desviación Estándar, el Porcentaje y el ANOVA de una vía para diferenciar entre los grupos. Resultados: El resultado concluyó que el IMC de todas las jugadoras de Kabaddi estaba en el rango normal. El porcentaje de grasa corporal de las jugadoras de Kabaddi raider, defender y all-rounder fue del 23,34 %, 24,7 % y 23,8 %, respectivamente. La masa corporal magra de las jugadoras de kabaddi raider, defender y all-rounder fue de 42,94 kg, 42,05 kg y 42,82 kg, respectivamente. Conclusiones: Por último, no hubo diferencias significativas entre los diferentes grupos en las características de composición corporal de las jugadoras de kabaddi

SAR-based approach to explore in silico ferrocene analogues as the potential inhibitors of major viral proteins of SARS-CoV-2 virus and human Ca2+-channel blocker

370-384Amid the pandemic COVID-19, there is a desperate and urgent need for a therapeutic solution for COVID-19. Our present studies have adapted the SAR-based approach to explore in silico several selected ferrocene-based complexes as the potential inhibitors of the major viral proteins (Spike, RdRp, Mpro, N protein) of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The SAR-based molecular docking studies have revealed that compound 1 is the strongest inhibitor of the major viral proteins with a binding energy of >9.0 kcal/mol. Compound 1 is also able to inhibit the human Ca2+ channel and thereby potentially able to prevent the strong inflammatory signalling cascades causing severe respiratory distress to the COVID-19 patients. Overall, our computational studies explored ferrocene-based compounds as the emerging multi-targeting therapeutic solution for COVID-19 by inhibiting viral replication as well as modulating the inflammatory signalling cascades

Classification of edge-critical underlying absolute planar cliques for signed graphs

International audienceA simple signed graph (G,Σ) is a simple graph G having two different types of edges, positive edges and negative edges, where Σ denotes the set of negative edges of G. A closed walk of a signed graph is positive (resp., negative) if it has even (resp., odd) number of negative edges, taking repeated edges into account. A homomorphism (resp., colored homomorphism) of a simple signed graph to another simple signed graph is a vertex-mapping that preserves adjacencies and signs of closed walks (resp., signs of edges). A simple signed graph (G,Σ) is a signed absolute clique (resp., (0,2)-absolute clique) if any homomorphism (resp., colored homomorphism) of it is an injective function, in which case G is called an underlying signed absolute clique (resp., underlying (0,2)-absolute clique). Moreover, G is edge-critical if G - e is not an underlying signed absolute clique (resp., underlying (0,2)-absolute clique) for any edge e of G. In this article, we characterize all edge-critical outerplanar underlying (0,2)-absolute cliquesand all edge-critical planar underlying signed absolute cliques. We also discuss the motivations and implications of obtaining these exhaustive lists
