Modelling energy expenditure during cycling

Article Abstract:

Research was conducted to examine the factors that contribute to energy expenditure during cycling using ergometer tests. The first includes factors related to rider characteristics including sex, age, weight and training level. The second includes factors related to cycling techniques. The third pertains to factors related to environmental aspects such as humidity and temperature. The fourth includes components of the cycle itself. Results indicate that the most influential factors contributing to caloric consumption are pedal frequency and force.

Can simple anthropometric and physical performance tests track training-induced changes in maximal box-lifting ability?

Article Abstract:

A research was conducted to determine if tests of lifting strength and anthropometry could be used to assess training-induced changes in box-lift performance by assessing participants' isometric and dynamic lifting strength, body composition and maximal box-lift before and after training. It was observed that training significantly increased box-lift performance, dynamic lifting strength and fat-free mass, and reduced body fat.

Statistics for a composite distribution in anthropometric studies

Article Abstract:

An algorithm is developed to combine available anthropometric information and use it for composite population designs. The algorithm merges the density functions of any body dimension for two populations. The mean, standard deviation and some percentiles are calculated with the help of this algorithm. It has been tested by a computer program and it checks the practical applications of some statistics.
