Bodyweight and Shape in Early Modern Germany c. 1480-1620
… period. It is often assumed that concern with bodyweight and shape is a modern phenomenon and that, if fatness was considered in past societies, it was merely understood as a sign of wealth and prosperity. This thesis demonstrates, however, that such concerns not only existed in …

Bodyweight Squat Movement Changes after a High-Intensity Short-Rest Workout
… 14 males underwent a 3 dimensional analysis of 5 bodyweight squats before and after a HISR workout. Peak angle, total displacement and rate were assessed for knee flexion, trunk flexion, hip flexion, hip rotation and hip adduction. Subjects were split in to two groups: high lactate (n=7) and low …

Exploring the Childhood Dental Caries-Bodyweight Relationship: A Quality Assessment of Routinely Collected Data
… that share common determinants such as childhood bodyweight and dental caries. However, knowledge of the current use, quality and collection of such routine data is limited. The concept of this thesis was that of the student and the purpose was to conduct a quality assessment of routinely …

Molecular characterization in human neurons of genes associated with the control of bodyweight and feeding behaviour
Obesity is a major risk factor for many common diseases and has a significant heritable component. It is well documented that a powerful genetic component underlies the large variation in human body size in response to the modern day ‘obesogenic’ environment. Therefore, genetic approaches can be …

Penalized spline modeling of the ex-vivo assays dose-response curves and the HIV-infected patients' bodyweight change
A semi-parametric approach incorporates parametric and nonparametric functions in the model and is very useful in situations when a fully parametric model is inadequate. The objective of this dissertation is to extend statistical methodology employing the semi-parametric modeling approach to …

An Investigation into Establishing (Motivating) Operations
… pecks to a stimulus, at two different levels of bodyweight (75% and 95%). An infra-red screen was used to analyse performance separately from learning effects by examining activity levels (location and amount of pecks). It was found that that higher numbers of effective pecks were made by hens …

The gravity loading countermeasure skinsuit : a passive countermeasure garment for preventing musculoskeletal deconditioning during long-duration spaceflight
… which uses elastic materials to provide bodyweight loading similar to that seen in the presence of gravity via compression along the cephalocaudal (head to toe) axis of the body. Preliminary work performed in our lab produced prototype garments that were characterized for comfort and …

Effects of bodyweight and plane of nutrition on mitogenic capacity of mammary extracts in cell culture, mammary growth and development, and protein expression profiles of mammary tissue in Holstein heifers
Mammary gland samples from a large serial-slaughter Holstein heifer nutrition trial were used to determine the effects of stage of development and nutritional management on mitogenic activity of mammary extracts and mammary parenchymal composition. Stage of development and nutritional management of …

Recovery Methodologies and High Intensity Interval Training
… this study was to determine recovery from Tabata bodyweight high intensity interval training (HIIT) exercise using different recovery assessment methodologies across 24- and 48-hour time intervals. Participants (23.2 ± 3.1 years old, 163.1 ± 19.9 lbs., and 22.8 ± 9.6 % body fat) consisted of 3 …

Reducing free sugar intakes: Evidence for effective dietary recommendations
… baseline %FS (B=0.377, p<0.001) and baseline bodyweight (B=-0.04, p=0.041). The mean %FS reduced in all intervention groups N, NF, NFS by 2.47%, 3.25%, 3.08% respectively, in comparison to no change in the control group (-1.18%). Endpoint bodyweight was significantly predicted, F(6,235) = …

A Comparison of Body Composition between Eumenorrheic and Amenorrheic Adolescent Cross-Country Runners
… partial h² =.231). The eumenorrheic subgroup's bodyweight (F(1, 54) = 7.65, p<.05, partial h² =.124), BF (F(1, 54) = 8.56, p<.05, partial h² =.137), and BMC (F(1, 54) = 8.52, p<.05, partial h² =.136) were significantly greater than the amenorrheic subgroup. There was also a significant seasonal …

The effect of rapid dehydration on repeated bouts of short-term, high-intensity cycling exercise in college wrestlers
… The ergometer was preloaded with .1 kg/kg of H bodyweight. Peak power (PP,W), average power (AP,W), time to peak power (TTPP,s), power fatigue rate (PFR,W/s), and power fatigue index (PFI,%) were recorded by an integrated microcomputer. Pretrial plasma osmolality (PO), HTC, plasma electrolytes, …

Electromechanical design of a body weight support system for a therapeutic robot for rodent studies
… preliminary analysis of a highly back-drivable bodyweight support system prototype. In addition, a closed loop feedback control system was designed, simulated, constructed and tested. Hardware limitations were identified, and alternative control techniques were explored.

Relationships between sprint performance, power output and fatigue
… load on the ergometer was set at 0.12kg/kg of bodyweight. Peak power (PP), average power (AP), time to peak power (TTPP), power fatigue rate (PFR), and power fatigue index (PFI) were computed using a microcomputer system. In addition, PP,AP, and PFR were adjusted for total bodyweight (PP/kg, …
