Ultrasound has been pointed as a low cost and extremely practical new tool for monitoring body composition and obesity. Thus, this study aims at analyzing the performance of portable US, in comparison with dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) reference method, in specific equations for predicting fat percentage on male adolescents. 143 male adolescents aged from 12 to 17 years old were evaluated...
Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is used to calculate the body fat percentage of a human by applying a small amount of alternating current through a human body and measuring the impedance. As the electrode size of a BIA device becomes small, the measurement error of impedance becomes large due to the contact resistance between the electrode and human skin. Most commercial BIA devices, therefore,...
Background: The aim of the study was to determine the diagnostic value of bioelectrical impedance analysis in estimating the components of human body in dynamics. Subjects/Methods: The objects of the research were 37 healthy women before and after water-jet liposuction. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) was provided with portable non-professional analyzer “Tanita BC-542”. Subcutaneous adipose...
Body composition analysis can not only reflect the state of health, but also can play a role in disease prevention. Aiming at many influencing factors, complex modeling issues of the existing bioelectrical impedance analysis algorithms, this paper draws information entropy theory into modeling the human body composition for the first time, establishes entropy evaluation criteria of physiological characteristic...
This paper presents and overview analysis of using the Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) method in devices designed and produced so far. We evaluate what is foreseen in the immediate prospects in order to improve BIA performances, while using this method for the body composition monitors.
Quantification of internal body composition such as fat mass and body fluid volume recently relies on expensive and complex modalities. The aim of this study is to validate the ability of a multiple frequency bioimpedance analyzer (MFBIA) to estimate the change of internal fat and fluid content in a phantom model. Biological phantom was structured using fresh cucumbers filled with mixture of different...
This study was conducted in order to investigate the effects of aerobic dance on the cardiovascular fitness and body composition of sedentary women throughout 6 weeks of a training program. 31 subjects were selected in this study and divided into two groups; the experimental group consisted of 15 female subjects and the control group consisted of 16 subjects. The experimental program of the aerobic...
The objective of this study was to compare and correlate the Portable Ultra Sound (US) measuring technique to the skinfold measuring technique (SF) to estimate body fat percentage (%F) in young adults. Sixty military were evaluated, all males, divided in two groups: Group 1 (normal) composed by 30 military with Body Mass Index (BMI) until 24.99 kg/m2 and Group 2 (overweight) composed by 30 military...
Objective: The purpose of this study is to analyze the body composition measurements between different playing positions among Malaysian male futsal players. Subject: 14 national male futsal players which have this following charecteristics (mean± SD), age 22.69 years (±1.80), height 170.58 cm (±2.67) and weight 71.83 kg (±19.07) were willing to participate in this study. Methods: The variables which...
Statistics of body composition was measured by In body 3.0, use mathematical statistics method to select the related index of influencing body composition in the college P.E. major students, The result shows that the main index of influencing body composition in the college P.E. major students are control of fat, body density, muscle, extra cellular fluid, TP total protein, bone total protein, lean...
By using SPSS 17.0, compared the Physical Health T-test results of 102 Han national students from Department of Physical Education, Southwest University with the results of 102 Uygur Students who are individually from Institute of Physical Education of xinjiang Normal University and Hotan Teachers College, the analysis shows: 1, there are notable differences of the height, MM (Muscle Mass) and bone...
with the use of "career women Fitness Motivation Scale, " "Subjective Well-Being Scale" , author checked career women's fitness test the motives and subjective well-being, and tested their body compositions. The results showed that: motivation of Occupational women participating in fitness is mainly for exercise to physical needs, the esthetic needs and the psychological adjustment...
In order to investigate the influences of fitness Yangko on body composition and blood lipid levels of middle and old-aged women with central obesity, 36 subjects was chosen and divided them into equal test group and control group. To make a comparison, the body composition and blood lipid levels of the test group who has gone through 18 weeks of Yangko exercises was measured. Results showed that...
Sixty two samples of hatchery reared mahseers (Tor putitora) were sampled for analysis of proximate composition. It was observed that the highly inverse correlation between water contents (%) and percent fat contents (wet weight, r = 0.3105) and percent water content and percent protein content (wet weight, r = 0.7624) exist. There is little bit negative correlation between percent water contents...
Dialysis patients with high BMI experience survival advantages as compared to dialysis patients with low BMI. Preliminary modeling results seem to confirm the dependence of survival probabilities on BMI, but also show that BMI is a too crude measure. The simulation results strongly indicate that body composition instead of BMI should be used. The purpose of this paper is to confirm this finding on...
Sixty six Oreochromis nilotica female (wild) of different body sizes ranging 9.1 - 17.9 cm total length and 14.27 - 118.43 g body weight for the analysis of body composition parameters in relation to body size and condition factor. It was observed that inverse correlation exist between % water and % fat (wet weight) and % protein (wet weight). Body weight has no influence on % fat and % protein (wet...
The large variability seen in human body composition and the importance of regional adiposity makes imaging the most powerful tool in body composition assessment. MRI is often the method of choice since it has no known long-term side effects, allows large coverage, repeated acquisition, and studies of children and adolescents. Various techniques are used to acquire and analyse whole-body MR data for...
In this work, we examined the significance of various hemorheological, body composition, body impedance, cardiac output and blood flow parameters in thyroid disorders on a data set from 48 subjects that consisted of 18 euthyroidics, 15 hypothyroidics and 15 hyperthyroidics. Impedance variations that reflect cardiac parameters for the hyperthyroid patient group, stroke volume, cardiac output, cardiac...
Obesity is a rapidly spreading endemic in almost every country of the developed world, of which Hungary is no exception. By a joint research project we aim to deepen our understanding of obesity-associated, and especially obesity-predicting changes of clinical markers (anthropometric indices, body composition, laboratory results etc.) in children, especially in teenage population. This paper presents...
The resting energy expenditure (REE) and substrate utilization are computed by indirect calorimetry technique (ICT). The REE represents 80-85% of the total energy expenditure (TEE) but only accounts for the 7% of the actual body weight (ABW). The TEE is produced by the organs plus muscles, whereas the REE accounts only for the main organs. An important problem comes up when the REE is computed throughout...
