Jette, Maurice; And Others – Research Quarterly, 1979
A scientific method for determining ideal body weight for individual males is described. (JD)
Descriptors: Body Weight, Males, Physical Fitness
Clarke, David H; Vaccaro, Paul – Research Quarterly, 1979
It was concluded that the main effect of competitive swimming training is to increase muscular endurance. (MM)
Descriptors: Body Weight, Children, Muscular Strength, Scientific Research
Morrow, James R., Jr.; And Others – Research Quarterly, 1979
In evaluating performance of women's volleyball teams it was found that the quality of physical size as represented by body composition and strength was more important than the combination of height and lean weight. (JD)
Descriptors: Body Weight, Muscular Strength, Performance Factors, Volleyball
Noland, Melody; Kearney, Jay T. – Research Quarterly, 1978
In evaluating the viability of the "spot reduction" hypothesis, it was found that neither general exercise nor localized exercise is more effective than the other. (MM)
Descriptors: Body Weight, Exercise, Exercise (Physiology), Females
Thomas, Tom R.; And Others – Research Quarterly, 1979
This study, designed to determine the effect of a prolonged running bout on the measurement of percent fat, produced erroneously low readings. It is suggested that previous exercise and state of hydration of subjects should be controlled prior to percent fat determination by hydrostatic weighing or scintillation counting. (MJB)
Descriptors: Body Weight, Exercise, Exercise Physiology, Human Body
Jackson, Andrew S.; And Others – Research Quarterly, 1978
The results of a test of reliability for skinfold fat and circumference measures (used as field methods for the measurement of body composition) are reported. (DS)

Cureton, Kirk J.; And Others – Research Quarterly, 1979
Greater body fatness is one characteristic that partly explains why women, on the average, do not perform as well as men in strenuous tasks requiring movement of body weight. (JD)

Hosler, W. W.; And Others – Research Quarterly, 1978
This report provides norms on speed, strength, and anthropometric variables of college women volleyball players. (MM)
Descriptors: Athletes, Body Weight, College Students, Females
Burke, Edmund J.; Brush, Florence C. – Research Quarterly, 1979
This study describes the endurance capacities and anthropometric characteristics of highly-trained, female, teenaged, distance runners. (MM)
Descriptors: Athletes, Body Height, Body Weight, Females
Gagnon, Micheline; Rodrigue, Diane – Research Quarterly, 1979
The photography technique for predicting the physical properties of a body segment is highly recommended because of its simplicity and accuracy of data obtained. (MM)
Descriptors: Body Height, Body Weight, Human Body, Photography
Morrow, James R.; And Others – Research Quarterly, 1978
The results of this study suggest that public school physical education programs may not be designed to develop aerobic endurance. (MM)
