The biomechanics of adiposity--structural and functional limitations of obesity and implications for movement.

摘要: Obesity is a significant health problem and the incidence of condition increasing at an alarming rate worldwide. Despite advances in knowledge understanding multifactorial nature condition, many questions regarding specific consequences disease remain unanswered. For example, there dearth information pertaining to structural functional limitations imposed by overweight obesity. A limited number studies date have considered plantar pressures under feet obese vs. non-obese, influence foot structure on performance, gait characteristics children adults, relationships between obesity osteoarthritis. better appreciation implications increased levels body weight and/or fat movement capabilities would provide enhanced opportunity offer more meaningful support prevention, treatment management condition.
