Are Bioelectrical Impedance and Skinfolds Considered Valid Measures for Tracking Body Composition Following Resistance Training when DEXA is the Criterion Measure?
… study was designed to determine if BIA and skinfolds could track changes in body composition like DEXA. Fifty male volunteers participated in a 12-week high-intensity resistance-training program. Body composition was assessed using DEXA, skinfolds (SF), and BIA. Results indicate when DEXA …

Physical activity and motor skills in overweight and normal weight low income preschool children
… correlation between BMI percentile and sum of skinfolds was low (r(46) = .42, p = .004) and suggested that over one-third of the children were placed in the wrong weight group (inconsistently classified). Trends were also found in accelerometer counts, observed intensity levels and locomotor …

Longitudinal Associations Between Sedentary Behavior and Health Outcomes During Childhood
… was positively associated with changes in sum of skinfolds (mm) at the 75th and 90th percentiles (0.22, 99%CI 0.06-0.38 and 0.21, 99% CI 0.05-0.36, respectively), but not at the 10th, 25th or 50th percentiles. In white girls, television viewing (hrs/wk) was positively associated with changes in …

The relationships of social physique anxiety, body image and body composition on the risk of developing eating disorders in youth gymnasts
… contrast to males, females with a greater sum of skinfolds experienced higher social physique anxiety scores. When grouped by sum of skinfolds, social physique anxiety was significantly different between groups (F2,110) = 192.301, p < 0.05) and genders also showed different patterns of social …

Statistical modelling of body composition in children and their parents
… (body mass index in particular) and skinfolds. Parental body composition is thought to be influential on their children's body composition. Such influence does not necessarily have to be genetic, but might indirectly come from the eating habits and lifestyle of the family as a whole. …

Effects of exercise modality on metabolic rate, body composition, dietary intake, and eating behaviour
… (REE), anthropometry (height, weight, 8 skinfolds and 6 girth measurements), a three-day diet record, and the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire. Results indicated that exercise modality had no effect on REE, dietary intake, or eating behaviour. Exercise, regardless of modality, had a …

Improving the Accuracy of the VO2 max Prediction Obtained from Submaxial YMCA Testing
… protocol by adding anthropometric measures (BMI, Skinfolds) to develop two separate regression models. Results were significantly different (p < 0.05) between Measured V02 (MV02) and V02 estimated from the YMCA protocol (YV02). Additionally, results were significantly different (p = 0.003) between …
