Regional body composition changes with aging. Some of the changes in composition are
considered major risk factors for developing obesity related chronic diseases which in turn …

Background & aims No generalizable formulas exist that are derived from bioelectrical
impedance analysis (BIA) for predicting appendicular lean mass (ALM) and fat mass (AFM) …

Quantification of segment soft and rigid tissue masses in living people is important for a
variety of clinical and biomechanical research applications including wobbling mass …

Objective assessments of players performance and individual characteristics are
increasingly used in baseball. However, evidence linking individual characteristics to …

Accurate subject-specific body segment parameters (BSPs) are necessary to perform kinetic
analyses of human movements with large accelerations, or no external contact forces or …

The aim of the present study was to develop and cross-validate anthropometrical prediction
equations for segmental lean tissue mass (SLM). One hundred and seventeen young …

Scapular kinematics are important indicators of dyskinesis, often suggesting underlying
shoulder pathology, but the influence of sex is unknown. This study's objective was to …

Regression equations for predicting bone mineral content (BMC), fat mass (FM), lean mass
(LM), and wobbling mass (WM) of living people from simple anthropometric measures …

Background: Regional body composition can influence disease risk and simple screening
methods to identify individuals at risk are still needed. Aim: To develop equations for …

Background: Reduction in muscle strength is strongly associated with functional decline in
women, and women with lower quadriceps strength adjusted for body weight are more likely …
