Roller Ski Treadmill Performance Evaluation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The roller ski treadmill (Rodby) had dimensions of 3 × 4.5 m. To exclude possible variations in rolling resistance, all skiers used the same Swenor Skate roller skis (Sport Import AS) with wheel type 1 and a coefficient of friction of μ = 0.018 and Rottefella binding systems (Rottefella AS) for all tests. The coefficient of friction was measured every week during the study period and was found to be consistent throughout. All participants used Swix Triac 1.0 and 3.0 poles of a self-selected length (approximately 90% of body height, Swix), modified with a tip specifically adapted for use on a roller skiing treadmill. Participants were secured to the treadmill by a safety harness connected to an emergency brake during testing. Height, body mass, and total mass including equipment were measured before each testing session (Seca model 877, Seca). VO 2 was determined using a metabolic analyzer (Oxycon Pro, Jaeger GmbH), calibrated according to the manufacturer's instruction manual. Heart rate was measured throughout using a Polar M400 with a 1-Hz sampling rate (Polar Electro).

Assessing Mercury Exposure in Munduruku Families

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To perform the health risk assessment related to consumption of mercury-contaminated fish, it was necessary to collect data about participants’ average weight (i.e., women, men, and children), fish consumption by Munduruku indigenous families (i.e., most consumed species and frequency), and family composition (i.e., number of individuals, age, and gender). The access to the amount of fish consumed (in grams) by the family members is described in the next section.
Data about diet were obtained through interviews with the head of households (husband/father), followed by weight measurements of all individuals living in the three investigated villages. The interview answers were recorded on electronic forms with the aid of portable devices (i.e., tablets). To measure weight, a portable digital scale from Seca® (model 877) (Seca GmbH, Hamburg, Germany) was used, with a maximum capacity of 150 kg and precision of 0.1 kg.

Supine Blood Pressure Measurement Techniques

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Blood pressure was measured when subjects were in supine position. Upper‐arm blood pressure was determined with an oscillometric device (Dinamap model PRO 200 Monitor, Critikon). After cuff deflation, systolic, diastolic, mean arterial pressure and heart rate appeared on the monitor. Ankle systolic blood pressure was measured during cuff deflation by detecting the return of the pulsatile blood flow with a Doppler device (in the dorsal pedal artery and later in the tibial posterior artery).
Body weight was determined without shoes and trousers and rounded down to the nearest 0.5 kg (SECA, model 877, Seca GmBH & Co). Height was measured and rounded to the nearest 0.5 cm.

Anthropometric Measurements Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Height to the nearest 0.1cm, and body mass to the nearest 0.1kg, were assessed while barefoot using a Seca stadiometer (Model 213, Seca Instruments, Hamburg, Germany), and scales (Model 877, Seca Instruments, Hamburg, Germany) respectively. Body mass index (kg/m 2 ) was then calculated. The mean ± Standard deviation (SD) values of participant characteristics are shown in Table 1. ***Table 1 Here***

Anthropometric Measurements in Pediatric Dentistry

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Dentists in our practice were trained to perform the anthropometric measurements in a standardised way. They were conducted in the paediatric dentist’s treatment room. Children’s standing height was measured to the nearest full centimetre using a stadiometer (Seca); their weight was rounded off to the nearest 0.1 kilogramme using a calibrated scale (Seca, Model 877). During these measurements, the children wore light clothing but no shoes. Body Mass Index was calculated by dividing kilograms by height squared (kg/m2). We subsequently used extended International (IOTF) body mass index cut-offs to define ‘no overweight’ and ‘overweight’ (with the latter category including obesity) [34 (link)].

Anthropometric Measurements in Children

Children’s body weight and height were assessed twice to the nearest 0.1 kg and 0.5 cm, while wearing underwear, by using a medical calibrated weight scale and stadiometer (Model 877 and 213, Seca, Hamburg, Germany). The BMI-SDS was calculated with reference values of the fourth national Dutch growth study as described above [21 (link)].

Anthropometric Measurements and BMI

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Anthropometric measures consisted of height and weight measurements, as well as the subsequent calculation of the subjects’ body mass index (BMI). Weight and height were evaluated with a medical scale (Austrian study: model 877, seca GmbH & Co. KG, Hamburg, Germany; NZ study: Tanita DH-351) and a stadiometer. Body mass index (BMI) was calculated as weight in kg divided by height in m squared. In the Austrian study, also waist circumference (WC) and hip circumference (HC) were measured by tape (model 203, Seca) and the waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) was calculated.

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.
