  • Limb volume, composition, and maximum aerobic power output in relation to habitual ‘preference’ in young male subjects

    Open AccessA J Sargeant, C T M DaviesARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology1977

    Anthropometric data are presented for the preferred and non-preferred limbs of normal subjects together with measurements of one-limb maximum aerobic power output (V O2 max). The habitually preferred arms and legs were significantly larger in total volume (LV) when compared with the contralateral limbs (5 per cent, P less than 0-01; and 2 per cent, P less than 0-01 respectively). These differences were mainly attributable to variation in the size…

  • Effects of exercise therapy on total and component tissue leg volumes of patients undergoing rehabilitation from lower limb injury

    Open AccessC T M Davies, A J SargeantARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology1975

    Anthropometric and X-ray data were collected on 20 young male patients undergoing a systematic programme of exercise therapy following fracture of the leg and consequent immobilization for 25--254 (mean 117) days. Estimates of total leg volume, calculated from X-ray or from anthropometric measurements, were essentially interchangeable in both the injured and uninjured legs. A procedure for estimating muscle volume from total leg volume is given. …

  • Physical growth and development of urban and rural East African children, aged 7 – 16 years

    Open AccessC T M Davies, D Mbelwa et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology1974

    Longitudinal data on the growth and development of African boys and girls attending an urban primary school in Dar es Salaam during the years 1966–1971 together with cross-sectional height and weight data of children aged 7–15 years attending urban and rural schools in Tanzania are presented. No significant differences were found between the two groups and standards of height and weight, skinfold thickness and arm circumference are given. The dat…

  • The relationship of leg volume (muscle plus bone) to maximal aerobic power output on a bicycle ergometer

    Open AccessC T M DaviesARTICLEAnnals of Human Biology1974

    The relationship of maximal power output (VO2 max) to leg muscle plus bone) volume (LV) has been analysed in African children suffering from malnutrition and severe anaemia and in a group of rural adult Africans engaged in prolonged, active daily work. The results are examined in relation to 'normal' healthy active (but not in training) African ? s and ? s aged 7-35 years. The analysis clearly demonstrates that the association between VO2 max and…

  • Maximum aerobic power and body composition in healthy East African older male and female subjects

    Open AccessC T M Davies, J P M Van HaarenARTICLEAmerican Journal of Physical…1973Cited by: 5References: 13

    The relationship of body size and composition to maximum aerobic power output during work on a bicycle ergometer has been examined in older African subjects divided into three groups: Active men and inactive men and women. Comparison is made with similar data obtained on young African subjects (Davies, Mbelwa, Crockford and Weiner, '73). The results show that in the older men and women, in contrast to the young African subjects, there was complet…
