Ehlert, Alex M.; Wilson, Patrick B. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2021
Obesity has been found to relate to urine-assessed hypohydration risk at the population level, but studies have often failed to account for lean mass, which influences urine solute load. Adults (n = 8,699) from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey were categorized as hypohydrated or not using five urine-based methods. Hypohydration…

Mahar, Matthew T.; Welk, Gregory J.; Rowe, David A. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2018
Purpose: To develop models to estimate aerobic fitness (VO[subscript 2]max) from PACER performance in 10- to 18-year-old youth, with and without body mass index (BMI) as a predictor. Method: Youth (N = 280) completed the PACER and a maximal treadmill test to assess VO[subscript 2]max. Validation and cross-validation groups were randomly formed to…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Hackett, Daniel A.; Davies, Timothy B.; Ibel, Denis; Cobley, Stephen; Sanders, Ross – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2018
This study examined the predictive ability of the medicine ball chest throw and vertical jump for muscular strength and power in adolescents. One hundred and ninety adolescents participated in this study. Participants performed trials of the medicine ball chest throw and vertical jump, with vertical jump peak power calculated via an estimation…
