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
Fahey, Thomas D.; Schroeder, Richard – Research Quarterly, 1978
Although a load cell is more expensive than the autopsy scale for hydrostatic weighing, it is more accurate, easier to read, has no moving parts, is less susceptible to rust, and is less likely to be damaged by large subjects exceeding its capacity. (Author)

Girandola, Robert N. – Research Quarterly, 1977
It is recommended that when obtaining measures of body density by hydrostatic weighing, the subjects normal level of hydration be ascertained, since variance in body fat calculation from the hyperhydrated to the hydrated state can amount to twenty percent (two percent in actual body fat). (MB)

Johnson, Robert E. – Research Quarterly, 1976
The weights and centers of gravity of various body segments were compared in male and female subjects. (GW)
Descriptors: Body Weight, Comparative Analysis, Females, Males
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)

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
Gold, Ellen; Katch, Victor – Research Quarterly, 1976
Application of only Dempster's data on problems in human motion studies to living subjects is at best a rough approximation, in light of apparent differences between Dempster's data and the grand mean calculated for all data, with respect to volume and weight. (MB)

Falls, Harold B.; Humphrey, L. Dennis – Research Quarterly, 1976
Results refute the hypotheses that weight losses in lightly clothed wrestlers might equal or exceed those of wrestlers wearing vapor barrier suits under conditions of equal thermal and exercise stress. (JD)
Descriptors: Athletes, Body Weight, Physical Education, Stress Variables
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)

Shire, Tanya L.; And Others – Research Quarterly, 1977
Results of this research suggest that cardiorespiratory and body adaptations were independent from the two modes of training (high resistance-slow rate/low resistance-fast rate exercise on the bicycle ergometer) used in the study. (MB)

Wallace, Janet P. – Research Quarterly, 1975
This paper shows that simple cardiovascular training can reduce the composition of body fat in college women. (RC)

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)
