AbstractThe relative mass of fat bodies of 103 adult male Vipera aspis from western France appeared to be correlated with fasting and feeding periods. There was a slow decline in mass during wintering and a rapid decline during the occurrence of spring mating; a minimum fat body mass was at the first molting time in May. This was the only time when there was a significant decline in the relative mass of the liver; vipers are noticeably emaciated during this period. Changes in relative kidney mass were correlated with the volume of the sexual segment of the kidneys, the minimum being in July. The relative mass of the testes was also linked with the sexual cycle; the minimum appeared to be in July and there was little variation between September and May.

This study aimed to compare 10-to-12-year-old Qatari male athletes and assess body fat, body mass index, and physical fitness, as well as the difference of these measures between ages. Thirty-five youth handball players volunteered for the investigation and were divided into three groups: 12-year-old players (U12; n = 12), 11-year-old players (U11; n = 11), 10-year-old players (U10; n = 12). Anthropometry was assessed by body mass, body fat percentage (%BF), and body mass index (BMI). Measurements included the Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test Level 1 (Yo-Yo IR1), jumping ability (squat and countermovement jumps (SJ and CMJ, respectively)), and sprint tests (10 and 15 m). The power of the upper extremity was measured by a 2-kg overhead medicine ball throw for distance. Except for %BF (p = 0.387) and BMI (p = 0.070), all anthropometric and demographic parameters were different between age groups. The largest differences were found for body mass (p = 0.007) and body height (p = 0.008). Regarding fitness parameters, only the medicine ball throw (p = 0.022) was different between age groups (U10 vs. U12: p = 0.009; U11 vs. U12: p = 0.048). There was no difference between groups for jumping (CMJ: p = 0.586; SJ: p = 0.377), sprinting (10 m: p = 0.211; 15 m: p = 0.194) and Yo-Yo IR1 (p = 0.228). Body fat was the anthropometric parameter with the strongest relationship with physical performance in that lower body fat was related to superior jumping performance and sprint performance. In conclusion, except for %BF and BMI, all anthropometric parameters were different between U10, U11, and U12 handball players. For physical parameters, jumping, sprinting, and endurance performance were not different between age groups. From a practical perspective, coaches can use these findings as reference for the evaluation of their school-aged handball players, as well as for establishing performance goals.

Abstract The article describes the differences in peculiarities of somatotype and body weight component composition in patients with acne, the study population being boys and girls of the Podillya region of Ukraine. In the study subjects, regardless of sex, body muscle mass, bone mass and the mesomorphic somatotype component of those with acne were significantly greater, while fat body mass indicators and the endomorphic somatotype component was smaller – in comparison to that of non-afflicted subjects of similar gender. Regarding the ectomorphic component of somatotype, between the surveyed groups of those with and without acne, whether male or female, no significant differences were revealed. For all indicators, whether the somatotype components or the component composition of body weight, between groups of boys or girls with different degrees of severity of acne, again no significant differences were established.

Objectives:  This study aimed to analyze a relationship of dieting behavior with fat body mass at SMA Negeri 5 Surabaya.Methods: The design of the study was cross sectional involving 76 selected samples in the simple random sampling. The aimed of measuring body height, weight and body fat mass for scoring the nutritional status and percentage of fat body mass. Some characteristic of the respondents were age, amount of pocket money, physical activity and nutritional status. The data were analyzed by using Chi-Square correlation test with p<0.05.Results: The averaged of respondents age was 16 years old, most of all the amounted of pocket money from the respondents approximately IDR 25,000-75,000 (35.5%). The category of physical activity was mild (42.1%), and the nutritional status of respondents was normal (61.3%). Some of the respondents was doing a healthy diet (61.8%) with averaged score was 39.8. The averaged of body fat mass from the respondents was 25.24%. The result showing there was no relationship between diet behavior with fat body mass in girl adolescent (p>0.060).Conclusions: Diet behavior was not founded to be related to the fat body mass in female adolescent. Therefore the students needed to get more information about dieting behavior and fat body mass to prevented more nutritional problems.ABSTRAKLatar Belakang: Peningkatan massa lemak tubuh biasa dialami oleh remaja putri.

Data dikumpulkan dengan melakukan pengukuran berat badan dan tinggi badan untuk menilai status gizi serta pengukuran persentase massa lemak tubuh menggunakan BIA (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis). Wawancara dan pengisian kuesioner untuk mengetahui karakteristik dan perilaku diet responden. Teknik analisis data yang digunakan adalah uji korelasi chi-square dengan p<0,05.Hasil: rata-rata usia subyek 15,93±0,64 tahun dengan rerata besar uang saku harian sebesar Rp 22.474±12.62i, Aktivitas fisik tingkat ringan sebanyak 42,1% siswi, dan status gizi responden berdasarkan IMT/U didominasi oleh kategori normal sebanyak 80,3%. Sebagian besar responden menjalankan diet sehat sebanyak 61,8% dengan rata-rata nilai sebesar 39,8.Sebanyak 31,6% subyek dengan kategori massa lebih lebihHasil analisis menunjukkan tidak adanya hubungan antara perilaku diet dengan persen lemak tubuh remaja putri (p>0,06).Kesimpulan: Perilaku diet tidak memiliki hubungan yang bermakna dengan massa lemak tubuh remaja putri. Diperlukan penelitian lebih lanjut untuk menganalisis faktor lain yang berhubungan dengan perilaku diet dan massa lemak tubuh pada remaja putri.
