Correlation of Air Displacement Plethysmography with Alternative Body Fat Measurement Techniques in Men and Women [PDF]
International Journal of Exercise Science 5(4) : 367-378, 2012. Obesity has reached epidemic proportions with serious health consequences. Techniques used to measure body fat (BF) yield variable BF estimates, and this variability may lead to ...

Abstract Human populations native to high altitude have evolved distinct physiological adaptations to chronic hypoxia. This adaptation is evident in the O2 transport cascade. In this review, with brief inclusion of the related genetic adaptations, we compare the O2 cascade across three well‐characterized high‐altitude populations: Andeans (Aymara and ...

A new method for bedside determination of effective lung volume and functional residual capacity
Abstract Established methods of measuring functional residual capacity (FRC) involve sophisticated equipment and elaborate procedures. Here we present a new method based on CO2 rebreathing that has a simple fast procedure and only requires end‐tidal CO2 monitoring. Ten healthy subjects with diverse anthropometric and respiratory parameters were studied

Male participants were randomly assigned to consume [13C]leucine and [D5]phenylalanine tracers alone (FAST) or with a complete mixture of amino acids (0.25 g/kg) and carbohydrate (0.75 g/kg) at rest (FED) or after a bout of resistance exercise (EXFED). Plasma enrichment of both tracers increased rapidly after ingestion and remained elevated for up to 4–

Inter-Device Reliability of the BodPod for Clinical and Research Use [PDF]
Air-displacement plethysmography (ADP) by the BodPod device is an increasingly popular instrument for determining body composition for both clinical and research applications. Despite previous studies, the reliability of ADP devices remains controversial

Development of limb volume measuring system [PDF]
The mechanisms underlying the reductions in orthostatic tolerance associated with weightlessness are not well established. Contradictory results from measurements of leg volume changes suggest that altered venomotor tone and reduced blood flow may not be

Body composition and nutritional habits in professional ballet dancers [PDF]
Object of this study was the analysis of fat mass (FM), fat free mass (FFM) and nutritional habits in professional ballet dancers. Our secondary aim was to evaluate daily energy intake and to compare nutritional habits with level of daily recommended ...
