Morning fasting stretch stature (wall-mounted Holtain stadiometer, Holtain Limited, Crymych Pembs., UK) and naked weight [weight in gown (kg) − weight of gown (kg)] were measured in triplicate to the nearest 0.1 cm and 0.01 kg, respectively.

Anthropometric Measurements for Health Assessment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Morning fasting stretch stature (wall-mounted Holtain stadiometer; Holtain Limited, Crymych Pembs, UK) and naked weight (weight in gown [kg] minus weight of gown [kg]) were measured in triplicate to the nearest 0.1 cm and 0.01 kg, respectively. The body mass index was calculated using the formula weight/height2 (kg/m2). Waist circumference was measured with Lufkin steel tape (W606 PM), at the midpoint between the lower rib margin and the iliac crest, in triplicate to the nearest 0.5 cm.

Anthropometric Measurements for Obesity Assessment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Standing height was measured using a stadiometer (to the nearest 0.1 cm; Wall mounted Holtain stadiometer, UK) and weight was measured seated, with participants lightly clothed, using an electronic scale (to the nearest 0.1 kg; Wedderburn Chair Scales, Australia). BMI was calculated (kg/m2) and obesity was defined following age- and gender-adjusted BMI criteria (Cole et al., 2007 (link)). Waist circumference was measured twice at the umbilicus level, using a tape measure, and the average of both measurements was recorded (to the nearest 0.1 cm; Birch plastic measuring tape, Australia). Skinfold thickness was measured twice using a calliper, and the average of both measurements was recorded (triceps, subscapular, mid-abdominal and suprailiac skinfolds, to the nearest 0.1 mm; Holtain skinfold Callipers, UK).

Anthropometric Measurements and Body Composition

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Morning fasting height (wall-mounted Holtain stadiometer; Holtain Ltd, Crymych Pembs, UK) and naked weight (weight in clothes [kg] -weight of clothes [kg]) were measured in triplicate to the nearest 0.1 cm and 0.1 kg, respectively. Waist and hip circumference were measured in duplicate and in accordance with consensus recommendation (Dalton et al. 2003) (link).
Body fat percentage (%BF) was determined using bioelectrical impedance assessment (BIA) (RJL Systems Inc., Clinton, MI, USA) using sex-dependent equations (Sun et al. 2003) (link).

Anthropometric Measurements: Height and Weight

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Duplicate measures of height were taken to the nearest 0.1cm using a wall-mounted stadiometer (Holtain, Dyfed, UK), with subjects standing barefoot. Weight was taken in duplicate to the nearest 0.01kg.

Anthropometric Measurements and Body Composition

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Body weights were measured to the nearest 0•1 kg on a GSE 460 scale. Participants were instructed to remove all outer clothing (i.e. jackets, sweaters and any heavy items carried in pocketschange, phones, wallets, etc.) and shoes before weight measurement. Two body weight measurements were recorded, and averaged for use in the BMI calculation. Height was measured to the nearest 0•1 cm using a wall-mounted stadiometer (Holtain Limited). Heights were measured without shoes (in socks or bare feet) with heels, buttocks and upper part of back in contact with the stadiometer. The participant was instructed to take a breath and hold while remaining flat footed. Two height measurements were recorded, with the average used for the BMI calculation (weight (kg)/square of height (m 2 )). Body composition was estimated using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (Lunar iDXA; General Electric), which provided an estimation of each participant's lean and fat mass.

Targeted Neuromuscular Training Effects

Participants in the TG completed a high impact exercise intervention trial, specifically multi-directional hopping intervention over a 6-month period. Neuromuscular and balance measurements were conducted unilaterally on a randomly assigned trained leg in the TG and on a randomly chosen leg in the CG, before (pre-intervention) and one day after the 6-month training/control period (post-intervention). The familiarisation session and pre and post-intervention measurement sessions consisted of a standing balance test, a series of maximal hops, maximum isometric contractions involving the leg and ankle plantar- and dorsiflexor muscles, and ultrasound recordings of the resting gastrocnemius medialis (GM). All measurements were taken in this order and conducted at a consistent time of day. Height was measured to the nearest 0.001 m using a wall mounted stadiometer (Holtain Ltd, Crymych UK) and body mass was recorded the nearest 0.1 kg using a beam balance scale (Avery Ltd, Fairmont, MN USA) before the start of each session. All participants were requested to maintain a consistent lifestyle, with no unaccustomed exercise or diet during the study period.

Anthropometric Measurements and 20mSRT Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Upon entry to the laboratory, participants had their body mass measured using a mechanical beam balance (CMS, London) accurate to the nearest 0.1 kg, with standing height measured using a wall-mounted stadiometer accurate to the nearest 0.1 cm (Holtain Ltd., Crymych, Wales). These measures were taken with minimal clothing, typically running shorts and athletics vest or t-shirt and without shoes. Of the 308 participants, 105 (men, n = 56; women, n = 49) completed both the VO 2max test and 20mSRT. The 20mSRT was performed in a sports hall according to the Eurofit protocol [11] , with further details available in Ramsbottom et al. [12] (link)

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
