The study was conceptualized to find out whether any relationship exists in between gymnastics performance and anthropometrical as well as skinfold measurements. To work on that, 36 female gymnasts who were participated in the 29 Punjab state sub-junior championship were selected as the subjects. Age, height, th weight were taken as anthropometric variables, whereas biceps skinfold, triceps ski...

Canadian female junior soccer players were evaluated for their anthropometrical characteristics including somatotype and body composition with a aim to evaluate with their international counterparts. 18 female soccer players with an average age of 16(±0.5) of a local club were assessed during their peak season time . Somatotype was assessed using HeathCarter method and body composition ( Fat%) ...

Some studies have suggested that there could be an association between the duration of sleep in humans and development of the obesity. We have analyzed the group of the probands (n = 3970, 2038 males and 1932 females, aged 18-65 years), with permanent address in the Central or South Bohemia. We ascertained the relationship between the duration of their sleep (obtained per questionnaire) and bod...

On the basis of a representative anthropological investigation of 5290 individuals (2435 males and 2855 females) of the Bulgarian population at the age of 30-40 years (Yordanov et al. [1]) we proposed a 3D biomechanical model of human body of the average Bulgarian male and female and compared two different possible approaches to calculate analytically and to evaluate numerically the correspondi...

The study presents a survey of the basic methods used in the diagnosis of malnutrition in the elderly such as nutritional anamnesis, anthropometrical, laboratory a functional examinations and indicating specific differences as compared with a younger population. METHODS We conducted a search of Czech and foreign literature (using Pu...

Simulation of natural human movement has proven to be a challenging problem, difficult to be solved by more or less traditional bio-inspired strategies. To simulate human-like movements in a virtual environment a sample database of real movements has been first transformed into sequences of instantaneous states of an explicit biomechanical model. These are then associated to an anthropometrical...
