Body composition and resting metabolic rate of Japanese college Sumo wrestlers and non-athlete students
The body mass index [BMI = body weight/height2 (kg/m2)] is widely used as an indicator of obesity. However, BMI is not the best way to assess obesity, because obesity is an excess of body fat, not body weight. The difference between obesity assessments based on BMI and those based on the percentage of body fat (%Fat) causes problems in evaluating extraordinarily large people, such as Sumo wrestlers, who have both a large fat mass and a large musc…
Hierarchical differences in body composition of professional Sumo wrestlers
The body composition of 36 professional Sumo wrestlers and 39 collegiate male students were assessed densitometrically. The means of body weight, BMI and %fat for Sumo wrestlers were 117.1 kg, 36.5 and 26.2%, extraordinarily large compared with untrained men (p < 0.001). Results of the analysis of variance of divisions of Sumo wrestlers revealed significant differences in body weight, fat-free mass, fat mass, BMI, fat-free mass index (FFM/height2…
Body fat and muscle thickness in Japanese and Caucasian females
Fat and muscle thicknesses were measured at eight sites by B‐mode ultrasonography on 36 Japanese (age = 25.9 ± 1.9 years; mean ± SD) and 56 Caucasian females (25 ± 2 years) to compare the distribution of these tissues. The eight sites were the biceps, triceps, forearm, subscapular, abdomen, quadriceps, hamstring, and calf. Hydrostatically determined body density, corrected for residual lung volume, was similar ( P > 0.05) for Japanese (1.048 ± 0.…
Upper limit of fat‐free mass in humans
If limitations exist in skeletal dimensions, fat‐free mass (FFM) might have an upper limit. To explore the upper limit to FFM, 37 professional Japanese Sumo wrestlers, 14 highly trained bodybuilders, and 26 untrained men were investigated for body composition (fat mass and FFM) and cross‐sectional areas (CSA) of limb muscles, by hydrodensitometry and ultrasound, respectively. Mean % fat of Sumo wrestlers, bodybuilders, and untrained subjects were…
Prediction equations for body composition of Japanese adults by B‐mode ultrasound
A total of 117 Japanese subjects (62 men and 55 women) volunteered for the study. Subcutaneous adipose tissue (AT) and muscle thicknesses were measured by B‐mode ultrasonography at nine sites of the body. Body density (BD) was determined the hydrodensitometry. Reproducibility of thickness measurements by ultrasonography was high (r = 0.96–0.99). Correlations between AT thickness and BD ranged from −0.46 (gastrocnemius) to −0.87 (abdomen) for male…
