Fitting Percentage of Body Fat to Simple Body Measurements: College Women
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Johnson, Roger W. – Journal of Statistics and Data Science Education, 2021
Percentage of body fat, age, weight, height, and 14 circumference measurements (e.g., waist) are given for 184 women aged 18-25. Body fat, one measure of health, was accurately determined by an underwater weighing technique which requires special equipment and training of the individuals conducting the process. Modeling body fat percentage using…

Spessato, Barbara Coiro; Gabbard, Carl; Valentini, Nadia C. – Journal of Teaching in Physical Education, 2013
Our goal was to investigate the role of body mass index (BMI) and motor competence (MC) in children's physical activity (PA) levels during physical education (PE) classes. We assessed PA levels of 5-to-10-year old children ("n" = 264) with pedometers in four PE classes. MC was assessed using the TGMD-2 and BMI values were classified…

The Acceptance Model of Intuitive Eating: A Comparison of Women in Emerging Adulthood, Early Adulthood, and Middle Adulthood
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Augustus-Horvath, Casey L.; Tylka, Tracy L. – Journal of Counseling Psychology, 2011
The acceptance model of intuitive eating (Avalos & Tylka, 2006) posits that body acceptance by others helps women appreciate their body and resist adopting an observer's perspective of their body, which contribute to their eating intuitively/adaptively. We extended this model by integrating body mass index (BMI) into its structure and…

A Test and Extension of Objectification Theory as It Predicts Disordered Eating: Does Women's Age Matter?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Augustus-Horvath, Casey L.; Tylka, Tracy L. – Journal of Counseling Psychology, 2009
When predicting disordered eating, models incorporating several of objectification theory's (B. L. Fredrickson & T. A. Roberts, 1997) core constructs (i.e., sexual objectification, self-objectification, body shame, poor interoceptive awareness) have been empirically supported with women of traditional undergraduate age who are consistent in…

A Maximal Graded Exercise Test to Accurately Predict VO2max in 18-65-Year-Old Adults
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

George, James D.; Bradshaw, Danielle I.; Hyde, Annette; Vehrs, Pat R.; Hager, Ronald L.; Yanowitz, Frank G. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2007
The purpose of this study was to develop an age-generalized regression model to predict maximal oxygen uptake (VO sub 2 max) based on a maximal treadmill graded exercise test (GXT; George, 1996). Participants (N = 100), ages 18-65 years, reached a maximal level of exertion (mean plus or minus standard deviation [SD]; maximal heart rate [HR sub…

Measurement Invariance of the Appearance Schemas Inventory-Revised and the Body Image Quality of Life Inventory across Age and Gender
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Rusticus, Shayna A.; Hubley, Anita M.; Zumbo, Bruno D. – Assessment, 2008
The majority of body image measures have largely been developed with younger female samples. Before these measures can be applied to men, and to middle-aged and older women, and used to make gender and age comparisons, they must exhibit adequate cross-group measurement invariance. This study examined the age and gender cross-group measurement…
