The purposes of this study were to develop and cross-validate the "best" prediction equations for estimating fat-free body mass (FFB) from bioelectrical impedance in children youth. Predictor variables included height2/resistance (RI) RI with anthropometric data. FFB was determined density (underwater weighing) water (deuterium dilution) (FFB-DW) age-corrected equations, which account variations bone content. Prediction developed using multiple regression analyses validation sample (n = 94)...
Abstract This study was designed to assess the effects of 18 months resistance exercise on regional and total bone mineral density (BMD) soft tissue lean mass (STL) in premenopausal women aged 28–39 randomly assigned an or control group. Twenty-two 34 subjects completed 18-month training study. All were previously inactive untrained women. Initial, 5-, 12- assessments made BMD STL using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry. consumed a 500 mg/day elemental calcium supplement throughout Initial Ca...
Abstract Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the association of total and central adiposity with serum cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in lean obese Portuguese children adolescents. Research Methods Procedures: A 87 girls (13.2 ± 1.6 years old, 29.9 6.4% body fat [mean SD]) 72 boys 20.8 9.9% fat) volunteered for study. Whole‐body composition distribution, from DXA anthropometry, lipids, lipoproteins, apolipoproteins were evaluated. Results: The sum three trunk skinfolds...
This study investigated changes in psychosocial variables related to exercise, eating, and body image during a weight reduction program evaluated their association with loss middle-aged overweight obese women up 1 yr after intervention.The 136 participants (age, 48.1 +/- 4.4 yr; weight, 30.6 5.6 kg x m(-2)) who completed the 4-month lifestyle (86% retention), losing -6.2 4.6% (P < 0.001) of initial were followed for 12 additional months. Of these, 82% 16-month assessments (weight change,...
Abstract Objective Physical activity (PA) is recommended for osteoarthritis (OA) management to reduce pain and improve function. The purpose of this study was objectively assess the level pattern PA in male female knee OA patients determine adherence Centers Disease Control Prevention/American College Sports Medicine Exercise Activity Conference recommendations PA. Methods Early (n = 255, 76% women, mean ± SD age 54.6 7.1 years, body mass index 27.8 4.3 kg/m 2 ) with...
Background: Obesity and the metabolic syndrome (MetS) have both been linked to increased risk of postmenopausal breast cancer; however, their relative contributions are poorly understood.Methods: We examined association phenotypes obesity defined by presence MetS (yes no) body mass index (BMI; normal, overweight, obese) with cancer in a prospective analysis cohort women (n ∼ 21,000) baseline measurements blood glucose, triglycerides, HDL-cholesterol, pressure, waist circumference, BMI. Women...
Research from multiple domains has provided insights into how neighborhood design can be improved to have a more favorable effect on physical activity, concept known as walkability. The relevant research findings/hypotheses been integrated Walkability Framework, which organizes the elements nine walkability categories. purpose of this study was test whether conceptual framework used model measure interactions between built environment and activity. We explored correlations categories...

Sports Exerc., Vol. 22, No. 5, pp. 558–563, 1990.The bone (BMC) at four sites on the axial appendicular skeleton was compared among groups young adult (age = 17–38 yr) athletes (N 40) who regularly performed either weightlifting exercise (body builders) or nonresistance (runners, swimmers) an inactive group...
Radiographic joint changes are used to diagnose osteoarthritis; however, they alone do not adequately predict who experiences symptoms. To examine psychological risk and resilience factors in combination with an objective indicator of disease severity (knee X-rays) determine what best account for pain physical functioning early knee osteoarthritis (KOA) population. Structural equation modeling was analyze data from 275 men women KOA. yielded a fair good fit the data, suggesting that both...
Prescription of resistance training (RT) exercises is an essential aspect management for knee osteoarthritis (OA). However, whether patients with OA who are randomly assigned to receive RT simply substitute other modes physical activity remains unclear.
To examine how "travel by walking" before and after school contributes to total physical activity of adolescent girls.Cross-sectional sample.Thirty-six middle schools from Arizona, Maryland, Minnesota, Louisiana, California, South Carolina participating in the Trial Activity for Adolescent Girls (TAAG).Seventeen hundred twenty-one sixth-grade girls consented participate; adequate information was available 1596 participants (93%).Travel walking school, combined assessed 3-Day Physical...
Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare weight regain in a group perimenopausal women (48.0 ± 4.4 years old), randomized 12‐month maintenance Internet intervention or self‐directed after 4‐month loss treatment. Methods and Procedures: After behavioral program, 135 were either groups. ( n = 66) used website gain information complete logs concerning their weight, diet, exercise progress over follow‐up. 69 had no contact with staff. All measured for body composition, diet intake,...
