A scientific method for determining ideal body weight for individual males is described. (JD)

There are no differences in the energy requirements for the soft shoe and slow buck tap dance routines for beginning and intermediate level tap dance students. (JD)

Aerobic dance can be useful as a modality for cardio-respiratory training and rehabilitation and for weight reduction and maintenance. (MM)

Results of this study indicate that there is no significant difference in degrees of rotation or rotational strength of the knee joint between surgical and nonsurgical limbs of rehabilitated subjects. (MM)

The size of the exercising muscle is critical in the determination of the maximal physiological response to exercise. (MM)

Water resistance makes running or walking through waist-deep water more strenuous than when performed under normal conditions; however, the buoyancy of the water reduces the stress on weight-bearing muscles and joints. (MM)

This study shows a consistent tendency to underestimate the finishing times of first- and second-time marathon runners. (MM)

It was concluded that Sonstroem's physical activity model (Physical Estimation and Attraction Scales) is generally applicable to young adults. (MM)

Volunteer coaches have generally favorable attitudes toward youth sports but express some reservations about the emphasis on winning. (JD)

This study investigated the construct and concurrent validity of a 12-minute crawl stroke swim as a field test of swimming endurance. It was found to be valid. (JD)

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)

It was concluded that playing squash is an activity that results in heart rate responses of sufficient intensity to elicit aerobic training effects without producing high lactic acid concentration in the blood. (MM)

It was concluded that continuous and interval training methods were equally effective in developing endurance when the same total amount of work was performed. (MM)

Results of an investigation into why individuals participate in specific sport, dance, or exercise activities are given. (JD)

Effects of cardiac output and lactate accumulation in exercised muscles was studied. (MM)
