The Impact of Non-Mandated Physical Training on Physiological Measures and Performance in Army Officers
… positions where training was not mandated (NMT). Anthropometrics, body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness, anaerobic power, and muscular strength were measured in both groups before and after the intervention period (1812 weeks). At pre-intervention, MT and NMT were not different in body …

Relationships Between Key Performance Indicators Across Four Swimming Strokes and by Distances in Competitive Swimmers
… significant relationships between select anthropometrics and ROM and performance times (p<0.005), suggesting that both anthropometric and ROM measures have the potential to influence swim performance times. A series of repeated-measure ANOVAs with Greenhouse-Geisser corrections revealed …

On the deformation of human skin for mechanical counter pressure space suit development
… similar in magnitude between subjects of varying anthropometrics, but the principal strain directions and LoNE maps can vary. The elbow data was flattened to 2D and normalized by anthropometrics to allow comparisons between subjects. This skin deformation data informs material selection, material …

Lifestyle Intervention Program with Calcium Supplementation to Promote Weight Loss and Body Fat Reduction in Overweight Individuals.
… analyzed by Nutribase IV and self perception. Anthropometrics were analyzed by analysis of variance, alpha level 0.05. There was significant decrease in weight and waist circumference for the calcium group and decrease in bioelectrical impedance for the placebo group; however, due to small …

Investigating the Effects of a Task-Specific Fatigue Protocol on Hand Tracking Performance Using a Wrist Robotic Device
… submaximal fatigue protocol and forearm/hand anthropometrics on hand tracking performance. Participants traced a 2:3 Lissajous curve using a haptic wrist robotic device (WristBot). This same curve was traced before the fatigue (baseline), during the fatigue protocol, and after the fatigue …

Identifying changes in dietary intake, diet quality, body weight and body composition during first year university
… university and how these changes influence anthropometrics and body composition. 301 students (n=71 males, n=230 females) completed food frequency and dietary habits questionnaires. Anthropometry and body composition were measured at the beginning and end of first-year university. Both males …

Effects of Blood Flow Restriction Training on Healthy Individuals Using the (B)Strong Training System: A Randomized Controlled Trial
… this study for the duration of the entire study. Anthropometrics, body composition, muscular strength and endurance were measured prior to and post training. Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) was assessed 24- hours post each exercise session in the HIRES and LIBFR groups using the Visual Analog …

Kinematic variations between successful and unsuccessful dynamic rock climbing movements
… findings support the limited association between anthropometrics and climbing performance, and highlight the contribution of the lower body during the dyno. A lack of consistent technique between subjects highlights the complexity of the dyno, and necessitates three-dimensional analysis for …

Relationship of dietary antioxidant intake, antioxidant serum capacity, physical activity and inflammation in breast cancer survivors and individuals without a history of cancer
… capacity (ORAC) at Virginia Tech. Results: Anthropometrics and inflammation were higher, and FRAP and ORAC lower in breast cancer survivors compared to individuals without cancer, although not significant. There was a significant direct relationship between FRAP and ORAC and inverse …
