Abstract

Background: Generalized joint hypermobility (GJH) is a highly prevalent condition that affects a person's exercise tolerance and is frequently associated with joint injuries. This study aimed to evaluate body composition and aerobic/ anaerobic power in young adults with asymptomatic GJH.

Methods: Sixty university students aged 18-25 years (30 with GJH, 30 controls) participated in the study. GJH was defined using a Beighton score ≥ 5. Body composition was assessed using the Tanita BC-601 device. Aerobic power was measured with the shuttle run test, while anaerobic power was calculated using vertical jump height and the Lewis Nomogram formula. Analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was applied to control for age and gender effects.

Results: ANCOVA results revealed statistically significant differences between groups in mineral percentage (partial η²ₚ = 0.093, p =.020) and aerobic power (partial η²ₚ = 0.256, p <.001) after adjusting for age and gender. No significant group differences were found in other body composition variables or anaerobic power (p >.05). Gender significantly affected lean mass, muscle mass, fat percentage, and aerobic and anaerobic power (p <.05).

Conclusions: The study demonstrated that GJH has a distinct and independent impact on aerobic capacity. Additionally, mineral percentage differences regarding body composition were noted between groups.

Clinical trial number: Not applicable.

广泛性关节过度活动的年轻人身体组成和有氧/无氧能力的统计评估：一项基于ancova的研究。

背景：广泛性关节过动症（GJH）是一种非常普遍的疾病，它会影响一个人的运动耐受性，并且经常与关节损伤有关。本研究旨在评估无症状GJH青年患者的身体组成和有氧/无氧能力。方法：60名年龄在18-25岁的大学生（30名GJH患者，30名对照组）参与研究。GJH的定义采用Beighton评分≥5分。使用Tanita BC-601装置评估体成分。用穿梭跑试验测定有氧能力，用垂直起跳高度和Lewis Nomogram公式计算无氧能力。采用协方差分析（ANCOVA）控制年龄和性别的影响。结果：ANCOVA结果显示，组间矿物质含量（偏η²ₚ= 0.093,p = 0.020）和有氧能力（偏η²ₚ= 0.256,p .05）差异有统计学意义。性别显著影响瘦质量、肌肉质量、脂肪百分比以及有氧和无氧能力(p)。结论：研究表明，GJH对有氧能力有明显而独立的影响。此外，两组之间在身体组成方面的矿物质百分比也存在差异。临床试验号：不适用。
