Accuracy of Consumer Grade Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis Devices Compared to Air Displacement Plethysmography [PDF]

, 2011
The purpose of this study was to examine the accuracy of percent body fat estimates from seven different bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) models and a seven-site skin fold formula (SKF) compared with air displacement plethysmography (ADP) in ...

Time‐course analysis of cerebral circulation and cardiorespiratory responses to acute central blood volume reduction in healthy young males

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Central blood volume (CBV) reduction challenges circulatory and respiratory homeostasis, particularly during the initial compensatory phase (0–2 min), when rapid physiological adaptations occur. In this study, we examined dynamic cardiorespiratory responses to CBV reduction using lower‐body negative pressure (LBNP) in 11 healthy young males ...

Bioelectrical Impedance Versus Air-Displacement Plethysmography for Body Fat Measurements in Subjects with Abdominal Obesity: A Comparative Study

Applied Sciences
Obesity is a disorder with an increasing prevalence, associated with cardiovascular and metabolic pathologies. The amount and the distribution pattern of adipose tissue must be considered when managing this disease.

A Scoping Review of Instruments Used to Measure Weight and Body Composition in Infants Under 1 Year. [PDF]

Obes Rev
ABSTRACT Background This scoping review identified existing outcome measurement instruments (OMIs) for weight and body composition in children ≤ 1 year of age and how they are used in clinical trials. This information will improve outcome selection in future trials.

Blood flow restriction exercise during microgravity exposure in parabolic flight

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract This case report evaluates whether it is possible to perform blood flow restriction (BFR) exercise during exposure to microgravity. The objectives were three‐fold: (1) to determine if a personalised tourniquet system (PTS) hardware technology performs nominally and enables BFR exercise in microgravity; (2) to determine if BFR augments the ...

arterioscope.sim: Enabling Simulations of Blood Flow and Its Impact on Bioimpedance Signals

Bioengineering
Objectives: Early detection of cardiovascular diseases and their pre-existing conditions, arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis, is crucial to increasing a patient’s chance of survival. While imaging technologies and invasive procedures provide a reliable

Elastic properties of arteries in hypertensive patients with hypertensive nephropathy and chronic stable angina

Patologìâ, 2013
Arterial wall changes are one of the arterial hypertension (AH) earliest complications. Hypertensive nephropathy is the widespread complication of AH which makes a substantial contribution to end stage renal disease.

A comparison of normobaric and hypobaric hypoxia effects on cerebrovascular response pre and post maximal exercise

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract A lack of consensus remains on whether normobaric hypoxia (NH) and hypobaric hypoxia (HH) may differentially impact physiological factors affecting cerebrovascular regulation, particularly with an additional strenuous exercise component. We sought to compare the acute effects of NH and HH on global cerebral blood flow (gCBF) at an altitude ...
