Height was measured with a free-standing stadiometer (Seca, Birmingham, UK); weight and percent body fat were measured via bioelectrical impedance (Tanita TBF 300A, Arlington Heights, IL). BMI z-scores and percentiles were determined using CDC cut-points for age and sex [27 ]. Blood pressure (BP) was measured with an automated monitor with appropriate child cuffs (Omron, Schaumberg, IL), and waist circumference (WC) measures followed NHANES protocol [28 ].
Free standing stadiometer
Manufactured by Seca
Sourced in United Kingdom, Germany
The free-standing stadiometer is a device used for measuring an individual's height. It consists of a vertical, graduated scale mounted on a stable base, allowing for accurate measurements of a person's standing height.

Weight and height were measured for both the child and the parent, with the participant in light clothing without shoes according to a standardized protocol. 22 Weight was measured to the nearest 0.1 kilogram by using research precision-grade, calibrated, digital scales and height was measured to the nearest 0.1 centimeter by using a freestanding stadiometer (Seca Corp, Hanover, MD). Measures were conducted in duplicate and averaged. The BMI was calculated as weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters. The BMI age-and sex-specific percentile was calculated for children. 23 We used BMI as the primary outcome because BMI-percentile or BMI-z is a less-accurate indicator of body fat for children in the upper extremes of the distribution. 24, 25

Elite athletes participating in swimming, water-polo, and artistic swimming events were recruited at the athlete's village during the 2019 FINA World Championships, and via formal invitations extended to national sporting bodies, coaches, and team physicians prior to the event. All athletes were asked to attend testing on rest days (outside of competition).
Inclusion criteria stipulated that athletes be ≥18 years old, have no previous diagnosis of cardiovascular disease, and have sufficient English comprehension to provide written informed consent in accordance with the protocol approved by IRB, and the FINA sports medicine committee.
Athletes completed a medical and training history questionnaire which asked about years of competitive training in their sport, average weekly training hours, average weekly swimming distance, weekly land-based resistance training hours, and weekly land-based aerobic training hours. Measures of height at end-inspiration using a free-standing stadiometer (SECA; Hanover, MD, United States), and body mass with a calibrated electronic scale (Tanita TBF-300 WA; Arlington Heights, IL, United States) were collected with athletes wearing minimal clothing and no shoes. Seated blood pressure was assessed in triplicate with feet-uncrossed using an automated oscillometric device (BpTRU, Coquitlam, BC, Canada).

Height was measured using a free-standing stadiometer to the nearest 0.1 cm (Seca, Birmingham, UK). In a private screening area, participants were asked to gather clothing above the waist so that waist circumference could be measured over skin using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) protocol [35 ]. Participants were asked to remove all footwear and heavy and/or layered clothing to obtain weight and bioelectrical impedance, which were assessed with a Tanita Body Fat Analyzer (Tanita Corporation of America Inc., IL, USA, model TBF 300) that was calibrated to −0.2 kg to account for clothing remaining. BMI z-scores were determined using Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) age- and gender-specific values [36 ]. Blood pressure was measured via an automated monitor (Omron, Schaumberg, IL, USA) with a child cuff or, in some cases, an adult cuff, which was used when the child cuff did not properly fit to provide an accurate reading.

During the screening visit, participants were asked to sign a consent form and to complete a health questionnaire, which included questions regarding to food allergies/intolerances, metabolic diseases, smoking habits, physical activity, medical conditions and medication. After completing the questionnaire, the following anthropometric measurements were taken: height using a free-standing stadiometer (SECA, Germany), body weight, body fat percent and fat-free mass using the Tanita body composition analyser (BC-418, Tanita UK Ltd, Middlesex, UK). Height was recorded to the nearest 0.1 cm and body weight was recorded to the nearest 0.1 kg. If the participants were eligible after taking the anthropometric measurements and did not have any of the exclusion criteria, then a fasting (overnight for 12 h) blood glucose measurement was taken from a finger-prick blood sample to determine the baseline data for glucose and if the participant was eligible to participate in the study.

Body weight was measured after removal of shoes, heavy clothing, and any items in their pockets using electronic scales (OHAUS NV4101, Parsippany, NJ, USA), and height was measured using a free-standing stadiometer (SECA, Hamburg, Germany). BMI was calculated as weight (kg)/height (m)2. Hip and natural waist (midway between the lowest rib and the iliac crest) circumferences were measured according to World Health Organisation guidelines [28 ].

All participants were asked to remove footwear and heavy or layered clothing to obtain height (free-standing stadiometer to the nearest 0.1 cm; Seca, Birmingham, UK), body weight, and bioelectrical impedance (Tanita Body Fat Analyzer; Tanita Corporation of America Inc., Arlington Heights, IL, USA, model TBF 300). Participants were asked to collect clothing above the waist to measure waist circumference over skin using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) protocol in a private screening area [32 ]. BMI z-scores were calculated using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention age- and sex-specific values [33 ]. Blood pressure was measured with an automated monitor (Omron, Schaumberg, IL, USA). In some cases, an adult cuff was used in place of a child cuff for proper fit to provide an accurate reading. All anthropometric and physiological parameters measures were taken once by trained staff.
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.
