Brief Summary:
The goals of this observational study are to investigate the accuracy of different predictive equations for body surface area (BSA) estimation and to evaluate the impact of different BSA normalizations on ventricular dilatation prevalence in youth soccer players. Two convenience samples of young soccer players of both genders will be recruited. Acquisition of optical images (for the players of the first sample), two-dimensional echocardiographic assessment (for the players of the second sample), and weight and height measurements (for the players of both samples) will be performed. BSA estimates will be derived from optical images (for the players of the first sample) and from ten different predictive equations obtained from the literature (for the players of both samples). Comparisons between optical imaging - derived BSA and BSA estimates obtained with the ten predictive equations will be performed for the players of the first sample. Absolute and relative values of different echocardiographic variables will be considered for the players of the second sample to assess the ventricular dilatation prevalence.
