Abstract The purpose of the study was to develop a simple field procedure for estimating ideal body weight. The statistical relationship between weight loss and girth measurements was analyzed in 40 male subjects. It was established that a decrease in total body weight was highly correlated (r = .842) with a decrease in abdominal girth while chest girth remained relatively stable. A regression equation was formulated to predict weight loss necessary to achieve ideal body weight corresponding to 15% of body fat or less on the basis of the chest abdominal girth relationship. The equation was as follows: (kg to lose) = .457 + .758 (Δ cm) where Δ cm are the missing centimeters required to achieve a positive difference of 12 cm between the chest and abdominal girths. The equation was employed on 40 other male subjects whose body density had been determined earlier by the hydrostatic procedure. Statistical analyses between the mean ideal body weight computed on the basis of 15% body fat and by the regression eq...

Abstract Children in grades 1 through 5 were classified as either participants or nonparticipants in organized youth sport programs. Relationships between sport participation and nonparticipation were examined by comparing the participants and nonparticipants on tests of perceptual-motor ability, self-concept, academic achievement, trait anxiety, and physical fitness. Results indicated that the two groups of children could not be distinguished on the basis of these tests. Questionnaires related to amount of involvement in sport and parental participation in sport were also administered. Results of these questionnaires indicated a large percentage of children in elementary school are involved in sport. It was also found that there was little relationship between parents either previously or presently involved in sport and their children being involved in sport while in elementary school. The role of youth sport as a potential precursor for the development of achievement motivation tendencies was also consi...

Abstract This study investigated the effects of three different amounts of practice in combination with two types of variable practice conditions upon schema development. Seventy-two subjects were administered either 6, 18, or 36 trials while learning to move to either one- or three-criteria goals on the linear positioning task. Subjects then had 18 no-KR (knowledge of results) trials to produce a novel response. The statistical analysis revealed a significant three-way interaction for absolute error while no significant main or interaction effects existed for constant or variable error. Analysis of the simple main effects showed that the various amounts of practice produced similar performances for the subjects learning to move to only one criterion goal. For the subjects learning to move to three criteria goals during initial practice, the amount of practice provided was a significant factor in the accuracy and strength of the motor schema. Partial support is presented for schema theory.
