Anaerobic Performance in Obese Populations: Underestimation of Power Profiles

We read with interest the article recently published in the September issue of the Asian Journal of Sports Medicine by Loenneke et al. We were particularly interested in the section that stated; ‘The BIA device investigated in this study did not provide a valid estimate of fat free mass index (FFMI) in male and female collegiate athletes. Although there was a general tendency for the bioelectri...

Relationships Between Field Tests of Power and Athletic Performance in Track and Field Athletes Specializing in Power Events

We investigated the relationships between power event scores and power/strength tests using the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) scoring table. We sought to identify tests suitable for evaluating the performance of athletes specialized in power events involving different techniques (jumping, sprinting, and throwing). Seventyfour male university-level track and field ath...
