Multivariate Relationships Between Physiologic and Anthropometric Variables: A Data Based Analysis

Non linear relationships between anthropometric and motor-endurance variables.

Nonlinear regressions are rare in anthropology. In this paper we have tried to identify the significance and the character of the linear and non-linear relations between some anthropometric measures and the motor-endurance status. All subjects (300 moderately physically active males, mean aged 24 +/- 3.4 years) were measured for body weight, body height, body mass index, push-ups, sit ups, stan...

Altitude decompression sickness susceptibility: influence of anthropometric and physiologic variables.

INTRODUCTION There is considerable variability in individual susceptibility to altitude decompression sickness (DCS). The Air Force Research Laboratory Altitude DCS Research Database consists of extensive information on 2980 altitude exposures conducted with consistent procedures and endpoint criteria. We used this database to quantify the variation in susceptibility and determine if anthropome...

cohesion and cohesive devices in a contrastive analysis between ge and esp texts

the present study was an attempt to conduct a contrastive analysis between general english (ge) and english for specific purposes (esp) texts in terms of cohesion and cohesive devices. to this end, thirty texts from different esp and ge textbooks were randomly selected. then they were analyzed manually to find the frequency of cohesive devices. cohesive devices include reference, substitution, ...

Nonlinear relationships between anthropometric and physical fitness variables in untrained pubescent boys.

Previous studies evidently actualized nonlinear regressions as a step forward in defining the true nature of the relationships between anthropometric and physical fitness (PF) variables in trained subjects. In this paper we have sampled 1176 nontrained boys aged 14-16 years and tested them on (1) five anthropometric predictors, including: body height, body weight, triceps skinfold, upper arm ci...

Paradoxical relationships between anthropometric variables and phenotypic expression of the metabolic syndrome in non-diabetic
