Accuracy of a digital skinfold system for measuring skinfold thickness and estimating body fat [PDF]
British Journal of Nutrition, 2010 The use of skinfold thickness measurements to evaluate the distribution of subcutaneous adipose tissue and to predict body fat has recognised advantages. However, the different types of skinfold calliper available present limitations that make them unattractive and perhaps less used in daily practice.

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Older adults often suffer from reduced physical capability relative to young adults, in part due to impaired muscle function. This study investigated the ergogenic effects of passive thigh heating on knee extensor torque production in healthy older versus younger adults.

Blood pressure and triceps skinfold thickness
Annals of Human Biology, 1983 SummaryArterial blood pressure levels have been measured in 457 adult Indian males and females selected at random from a semi-urban population of 8333. The casual blood pressure levels were analysed in relation to triceps skinfold thickness. It is observed in the present study that triceps skinfold thickness has relatively more influence on the rise of

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Ski mountaineering (SkiMo) is a new Olympic sport with extreme endurance demands and altitude exposure. Previous studies have focused on traditional cardiorespiratory variables, such as maximal oxygen consumption (V̇O2max${\dot V_{{{\mathrm{O}}_{\mathrm{2}}}{\mathrm{max}}}}$) or ventilatory thresholds, but, to our knowledge, did not report ...

Prolonged stable hypothermia during a 10‐hour cold open‐water marathon swim
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Marathon open‐water swimming presents extreme thermophysiological challenges, particularly in cold environments. This case report describes continuous core temperature data from a solo crossing of New Zealand's Foveaux Strait, an infamously cold (13°C –14°C), turbulent open‐water swim.

IMPACT OF SKINFOLD THICKNESS ON WAVELET-BASED MECHANOMYOGRAPHIC SIGNAL
Facta Universitatis. Series: Mechanical Engineering, 2018 Surface mechanography (MMG) is a non-invasive technique that captures signs of low-frequency vibrations of skeletal muscles through the skin. However, subcutaneous structures may interfere with the acquisition of MMG signals.

Does Body Fatness Modify the Association Between Dietary Cholesterol and Risk of Coronary Death ? Results from the Chicago Western Electric Study [PDF]
, 1992 The hypothesis that body fatness modifies the relation between dietary cholesterol and 25-year coronary mortality was examined in a cohort of 1,792 middle-aged men employed by the Western Electric Company in Chicago. Relative risks of coronary death (and
