Somatotype in 6–11-year-old Italian and Estonian schoolchildren
Association between bone, body composition and strength in premenarcheal girls and postmenopausal women
In premenarcheal girls, bone is partly determined by mass, with lean mass the most important predictor at the femoral sites. In postmenopausal women, lean mass is an important determinant of bone mineral content (BMC) and BMD, but changes in BMD are related to changes in fat. The relation between strength and BMD is mainly attributable to the relation between lean mass and BMD. The contributory effects of soft tissue to bone change over different…
Heritability of somatotype components from early adolescence into young adulthood
The finding of substantial genetic influence on the variability of somatotype components is further supported. The need to consider somatotype as a whole is stressed as well as the need for sex- and perhaps age-specific analyses. Further multivariate analyses are needed to confirm the present findings
Age at menarche in relation to anthropometric characteristics, competition level and boat category in elite junior rowers
Based on the results of this study, there is no direct evidence to state that intensive rowing training has a negative influence on the maturation status of junior female athletes
Health‐related quality of life in physically active and sedentary obese women
The aim was to assess dimensions of health‐related quality of life (HRQL) in women attending an obesity clinic, and to rate differences in HRQL in those with the highest and lowest levels of physical activity (PA). The sample included 113 sedentary and 101 physically active subjects from a total sample of 375 overweight women 16–65 years, with a body mass index (BMI) ≥27.5 kg/m 2 consulting at an outpatient Endocrinology Clinic, and 82 lean femal…
Accuracy of anthropometric estimation of muscle cross‐sectional area of the arm in males
Mid-arm cross-sectional muscle area was studied in several domains to evaluate nutritional status and muscle area and hypertrophy in revalidation and strength-related studies. In this study, anthropometrically determined muscle + bone area formulas were validated against Houndsfield unit-based CT-scan measures at mid-humerus (stretched and relaxed), and mid-humerus -3 and -6 cm positions in 75 healthy male twins. Muscle + bone area estimates calc…

Secular trends in somatic and motor characteristics of physical education students
This study investigated changes in somatic and motor characteristics of 3,514 physical education students at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Belgium) from the academic years 1941–1942 to 1988–1989. To facilitate data handling, the span of 47 years was divided into nine cohorts for anthropometric variables, and 4 cohorts for the motor data which were available only since the 1968–1969 academic year. A total of 21 anthropometric variables (sinc…
