Body composition of athletes in Bahrain.
A total sample of 304 athletes was selected from first class clubs related to four common sports (football, handball, volleyball and basketball) and compared with 53 non-athlete adults. Weight, height, mid-arm circumference and skinfold thickness were measured to assess their body composition. The findings revealed that there were differences in body composition among athletes according to the ...
متن کاملReference Values for Body Composition and Anthropometric Measurements in Athletes
BACKGROUND Despite the importance of body composition in athletes, reference sex- and sport-specific body composition data are lacking. We aim to develop reference values for body composition and anthropometric measurements in athletes. METHODS Body weight and height were measured in 898 athletes (264 female, 634 male), anthropometric variables were assessed in 798 athletes (240 female and 55...
متن کاملReliability and validity of body composition measures in female athletes.
The purpose of this investigation was to determine the reliability and validity of bioelectrical impedance (BIA) and near-infrared interactance (NIR) for estimating body composition in female athletes. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was used as the criterion measure for fat-free mass (FFM). Studies were performed in 132 athletes [age = 20.4 +/- 1.5 (SD) yr]. Intraclass reliabilities (repeat a...

2 SUMMARY Between 20 % and 60 % of the population of most countries are infected with the protozoan Toxoplasma gondii. Subjects with clinically asymptomatic lifelong latent toxoplasmosis differ from those who are Toxoplasma free in several behavioral parameters. Case-control studies cannot decide whether these differences already existed before infection or whether they were induced by the pres...
متن کاملAnthropometric measurements and body composition of selected national athletes.
This study was conducted to determine the anthropometric measurements and body composition of selected national athletes. A total of 84 male athletes from 10 different types of sports and 24 female athletes from 5 types of sports were studied. The height and body weight of subjects were measured using the SEGA weighing balance with height attachment. Skinfold thickness measurements were taken u...
