EXSI 432/532: Research Methods in Exercise Science: Research Proposal Posters

The purpose of this study is to evaluate existing differences between absolute and relative handgrip strength in men and women. It was hypothesized that male subjects will exhibit higher absolute hand grip strength, lower %BF, higher FFM, and higher forearm circumference when compared to women. However, men and women will have similar hand grip strength when compared relatively to body composition.

EXSI 432/532: Research Methods in Exercise Science: Research Proposal Posters

The purpose of this study was to test the validity of body composition measuring machines by finding the error in percent difference. It was hypothesized that the Bod Pod would provide more valid percent body fat estimates than the Omron 306 and the Omron HBF541C.
