Fat-Free Mass Index In A Large Sample Of Collegiate American Football Athletes, Jennifer B. Fields, Margaret T. Jones, Adam Feit, Meghan K. Magee, Nicholas M. Kuhlman, Andrew R. Jagim
International Journal of Exercise Science
International Journal of Exercise Science 17(4): 129-139, 2024. High levels of fat-free mass (FFM) are favorable for athletes and are related to sport performance. However, fat-free mass index (FFMI), which includes adjustments for height, may offer a better way to characterize FFM beyond raw values. As FFMI is understudied relative to sport, the purpose of the current study was to assess position and age group differences in FFMI among collegiate American football players. National Collegiate Athletic Association DIII (n=111) football players underwent body composition assessment via bioelectrical impedance analysis. FFMI was calculated by dividing FFM by height squared. One-way analyses …

Conservative Clothing Effects On Body Composition Assessment By Air Displacement Plethysmography, Shaun L. Orvell, Kasuen Mauldin, John Gieng
International Journal of Exercise Science
International Journal of Exercise Science 14(4): 687-695, 2021. Form-fitting spandex swimsuits or single-layer compression shorts are recommended during BOD POD® testing to ensure accurate results. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of various outfit types on body composition measurements using the BOD POD®, and self-reported comfort level wearing each outfit. Twenty-one participants, 8 females and 13 males, (age 31.6 ± 9.8 years) wore a spandex swim cap and three different outfits during BOD POD® testing (manufacturer-recommended form-fitting spandex swimsuit, short sleeve spandex, long sleeve spandex). Measured variables include body mass, body fat percentage, …
Metabolic Flexibility And Weight Status May Contribute To Inter-Individual Changes In Breastmilk Lipid Content In Response To An Acute Bout Of Exercise: Preliminary Findings From A Pilot Study, Jill M. Maples, Charlotte Mccarley, Maire M. Blankenship, Kristin Yoho, K.Paige Johnson, Kimberly B. Fortner, Rachel A. Tinius
Metabolic Flexibility And Weight Status May Contribute To Inter-Individual Changes In Breastmilk Lipid Content In Response To An Acute Bout Of Exercise: Preliminary Findings From A Pilot Study, Jill M. Maples, Charlotte Mccarley, Maire M. Blankenship, Kristin Yoho, K.Paige Johnson, Kimberly B. Fortner, Rachel A. Tinius
International Journal of Exercise Science
International Journal of Exercise Science 13(2): 1756-1769, 2020. The purposes of this pilot study were to describe changes in breastmilk lipid content in response to an acute bout of moderate intensity exercise and to explore maternal metabolic health factors, including metabolic flexibility, which may impact this change. A cross-sectional, observational, pilot study design was performed in 14 women between 4 and 6 months postpartum. Whole body fasting lipid oxidation was assessed, a standardized high-fat breakfast was consumed, and lipid oxidation was again measured 120-minutes post-meal. Metabolic flexibility was determined by comparing the change in lipid oxidation before and after the …
A Comparative Analysis Of Army Body Composition Standards For Women, Adam G. Tedford, Veronika Pribyslavska, Lance G. Bryant, Eric M. Scudamore
A Comparative Analysis Of Army Body Composition Standards For Women, Adam G. Tedford, Veronika Pribyslavska, Lance G. Bryant, Eric M. Scudamore
International Journal of Exercise Science
International Journal of Exercise Science 13(7): 1275-1282, 2020. The aim of this study was to compare body fat percentage (BF%) of women measured using the U.S. Army standard body composition assessment (ABC) and two common laboratory measures of body composition to evaluate the efficacy of ABC within this population. The BF% of 27 women (21.5 ± 1.8 years) was assessed using the 7-site skinfold, air plethysmography, and ABC measurements. The initial physical fitness test (IPFT) was used to determine if participants met the criteria required for admittance into basic combat training. A repeated measures ANOVA identified differences in BF% between …
Passion For Exercise: Passion's Relationship To General Fitness Indicators And Exercise Addiction, Alexander Bureau, Lindsey C. Blom, Jocelyn E. Bolin, Paul R. Nagelkirk
Passion For Exercise: Passion's Relationship To General Fitness Indicators And Exercise Addiction, Alexander Bureau, Lindsey C. Blom, Jocelyn E. Bolin, Paul R. Nagelkirk
International Journal of Exercise Science
International Journal of Exercise Science 12(5): 122-135, 2019. Research into the Dualistic Model of Passion (DMP) has suggested that a harmonious passion for an activity is related to more positive outcomes (e.g., higher well-being and satisfaction with life), and an obsessive passion for an activity is related to negative and less adaptive outcomes (e.g., lower self-esteem and burnout; 37, 40, 43). The current study demonstrated differences between passion types (i.e., harmonious passion, obsessive passion, no passion) in terms of physical fitness, risk of exercise addiction, frequency of exercise, and perceptions of exercise. Sixty-one college students from a large, Midwestern university …
Time Course Toward Baseline Of Hand-To-Foot Bia Measures Following An Acute Bout Of Aerobic Exercise, Brett S. Nickerson
Time Course Toward Baseline Of Hand-To-Foot Bia Measures Following An Acute Bout Of Aerobic Exercise, Brett S. Nickerson
International Journal of Exercise Science
International Journal of Exercise Science 11(2): 640-647, 2018. The purpose of this study was to determine the time course of BIA-derived body fat percentage (BF%) and total body water (TBW) values in the 1 h following a moderate bout (60% heart rate reserve [HRR]) of steady state aerobic exercise in apparently healthy men. College-aged adult males (n=15) had their BF% and TBW estimated via BIA before (PRE), immediately (IP), 10 min (10P), 20 min (20P), 30 min (30P), 40 min (40P), 50 min (50P), and 60 min (60P) post a 30 min bout of moderate treadmill exercise. Exercise intensity was …

Validity Of The Bottle Buoyancy Model For Body Fat Determination, Cherie Pettitt, Kalvin Danzl, Lauren M. Glorvigen, Cody J. Strom, Thomas A. Inkrott, Robert W. Pettitt
International Journal of Exercise Science
International Journal of Exercise Science 10(1): 87-96, 2017. We investigated a modification of the bottle buoyancy (BB) method in comparison to single frequency, bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA) as a valid noninvasive method of percent body fat (%BF) determination. Twenty-eight participants (15 men, 13 women), in counterbalanced-order, completed the BB, BIA, and computerized hydrostatic densitometry (HD) methods. We elected to modify the BB method using a 12.15 L container with participants hugging the container in an upright position. Consistency measures of intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), typical error (TE), coefficient of variation (CV) and total error of measurement (TEM) are reported. Our …

Obesitas yang merupakan faktor risiko penyakit degeneratif di negara berkembang. Hal ini terjadi akibat perubahan gaya hidup masyarakat antara lain aktivitas fisik dan pola makan akibat perkembangan status sosial ekonomi masyarakat perkotaan dan pedesaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui cut-off point status gizi obese berdasarkan indikator IMT (Indeks Massa Tubuh). Hasil penelitian menemukan bahwa prevalensi obese berdasarkan indikator PLT (Proporsi Lemak Tubuh) (35%), indikator IMT Depkes (22,7%) dan indikator IMT (40,8%). Faktor risiko obesitas yang paling dominan berdasarkan kategori PLT adalah tempat tinggal (OR=2,51;CI 95%:1,24-5,08); berdasarkan kategori IMT Depkes adalah tempat tinggal (OR=2,11;CI 95%:1,16-3,85); sedangkan berdasarkan kategori IMT sampel adalah asupan …
