No / This paper examines exchange imagery and ideology of the human body manifested through figurines from prehistoric (7th–6th millennia BC) Anatolian contexts. These figurines document local, regional and inter-regional communication of identity, use of materials, ideologies and skills. Taking a new approach to understanding the assemblages, this paper suggests four key themes of analysis: materials and materiality; fractured bodies; gender spectrum; and ambiguities and relationships. / The full text is unavailable from the repository due to the publisher's copyright restrictions

No research has been performed comparing percent body fat measurements using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and air plethysmography after weight loss. The purpose of this investigation was to compare body composition assessments using the Bod Pod® Body Composition System (BP) and the DEXA ProdigyTM before and after an 8-week weight loss diet and exercise program. Based on prior comparison studies, it was hypothesized that percent fat values would be significantly lower using the BP compared to the DEXA before and after weight loss. Also since both methods have been shown to be reliable, it was hypothesized that the BP and DEXA would detect similar changes in percent fat in response to a weight-loss intervention. Twelve women (42 ± 8 yrs) and ten men (40 + 11 yrs) had their percent body fat estimated using the BP and whole body DEXA ProdigyTM scanner. A similar significant (P < 0.05) decrease in percent body fat was observed using the BP and DEXA ProdigyTM (-2.2% and -1.8%, respectively) after weight loss. Percent body fat using the BP was significantly lower than the DEXA ProdigyTM before (36 ± 10.7% and 38.1 ± 9.4%, respectively) and after (33.8 ± 10.8% and 36.3 + 10.6%, respectively) the weight loss program. Significant Pearson correlation coefficients between the DEXA ProdigyTM and the BP were noted pre (r = 0.975) and post (r = 0.968) weight loss. These data indicate the BP provides significantly lower absolute %fat values within a range of body fat levels (20-56%) when compared to the DEXA. However, the BP and DEXA detect similar changes in %fat, fatfree mass, and fat mass from weight loss in men and women. Also, the BP consistently overestimated fat-free mass and underestimated %fat and fat mass compared to values obtained from DEXA. / School of Physical Education

The American College of Sports Medicine advocates the use of a percentage of maximal oxygen uptake reserve (%VO2R) for exercise prescription purposes because it's thought to provide a close match with percentage of heart rate reserve (%HRR) than a given percentage of maximal oxygen uptake (%VO2max). However, some recent studies have challenged the validity of this matching. The purpose of this study was to assess the association of body mass index (BMI) with the matching of %HRR and %VO2R during graded exercise testing. The study sample included 626 subjects (281 men; 345 women); mean age of 45.5+11.7 years; mean BMI of 27.9+5.4 kg .m-2) who completed a maximal treadmill test to volitional fatigue using the BSU/Bruce Ramp protocol. The distribution of BMI measures within the sample was 31.4% <25; 38% between 25.0 and 29.9; 17.9% between 30 and 34.9%; 8.8% between 35 and 39.9%; and 3.1% were > 40 kg•m"2. Subjects were excluded from the analysis if they failed to achieve a peak RER > LO during the maximal exercise test, possessed pulmonary or cardiovascular disease (excluding hypertension), or incomplete/erroneous submaximal heart rate and/or V02 data that was unable to be retrieved from subject's existing file. Heart rate and VO2 data from minutes 3, 6, and 9 were converted into %HRR and %VO2R, with 3.5 ml•kg-'•min' serving to represent resting VO2. The relative exercise intensity for minutes 3, 6, and 9 represented 39.7 +12.2, 62.9 ± 15.6, and 80.8 ± 12.5% of VO2R, respectively and 43.1 f 12.6, 64.7 ± 14.9, and 83.5 + 10.6% of HRR. %HRR significantly overestimated %VO2R at each measurement point during the exercise test with mean differences 3.3, 2.0, and 3.8%, respectively (p<0.05). The association of BMI with the matching of %HRR and %VO2R was assessed by correlation with the difference the scores (AHRRVO2R) at each specified time during exercise test. Correlations for BMI and AHRRVO2R were -0.102, -0.175, and -0.231 for minutes 3,6, and 9, respectively (p<0.05). These results demonstrate a low association between BMI and the matching of HRR and VO2R. / School of Physical Education, Sport, and Exercise Science
