The aim of this study was to examine the effects of perception of the close environment on obesity and physical activity levels in university students. Included in this study were 113 students between 18-25 years of age, taking into account that there may be erroneous and missing data according to the 95% confidence level in the pre-sample size…

Kirandi, Ozlem – International Journal of Environmental and Science Education, 2016
The purpose of the present research is investigating the effects of regular exercise on the physical fitness levels among sedentary individuals. The total of 65 sedentary male individuals between the ages of 19-45, who had never exercises regularly in their lives, participated in the present research. Of these participants, 35 wanted to be…

Impedance (Z), resistance (R), reactance (Xc), and phase angle (PhA) are sensitive to shifts in fluid between intra- and extracellular compartments, as would occur with nutrient uptake into skeletal muscle, but remains largely unexplored. To explore the sensitivity of whole-body and segmental (arms, legs, trunk) bioimpedance to acute feeding, 27…

Fedewa, Michael V.; Nickerson, Brett S.; Esco, Michael R. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2020
Higher relative adiposity is independently associated with adverse health consequences. As such, accurate estimates of body composition in field settings are of utmost importance. The aim of this study was to examine the validity of the Body Adiposity Index (BAI) and Relative Fat Mass (RFM) as measures of total body adiposity. BAI and RFM were…

Effects of Ventilation on Segmental Bioimpedance Spectroscopy Measures Using Generalizability Theory
Turner, A. Allan; Lozano-Nieto, Albert; Bouffard, Marcel – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2010
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of three ventilation conditions (i.e., normal, regimented, and no-ventilation) on the reproducibility of bioimpedance scores in humans for the forearm and trunk segments. One hundred able-bodied North American men and women, from 18 to 71 years of age, volunteered as participants. The…

Salaun, Laureline; Berthouze-Aranda, Sophie – Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2011
Background: The aims of this study were to assess the prevalence of obesity in school children with intellectual disabilities and to determine the most appropriate indicators of obesity measurement. Materials and Methods: The weight, height, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, waist-to-height ratio and body fat percentage as measured by…

Hannon, James C.; Ratliffe, Thomas; Williams, Daniel P. – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2006
The body mass index (BMI), or the ratio of weight in kilograms to the square of height in meters, is widely used to determine the presence or absence of overweight and obesity in adults. Although many consider BMI an acceptable clinical surrogate of body fatness, it does not differentiate between fat and fat-free tissues. Thus, children and…
