Validation Of The Bodymetrix Ultrasound System For Percent Body Fat
Author Block: Jean P. Boucher, FACSM, Gabriel Chamberland, Mylene Aubertin-Leheudre, David H. Jones,
Ron Rehel, Alain S. Comtois. 1 – UQAM, Montreal, QC, Canada. 2 – Concordia University, Montreal, QC, Canada.
The Body Metrix (BM) system (IntelaMetrix, CA) is an affordable computer based ultrasound system that provides rapid body composition assessment. We present preleminary data comparing percent body fat (%BF) as measured using the BM system and a DEXA as a reference measurment.
PURPOSE: To establish the validity of the BM computer based ultrasound system for the quantification of %BF…
Reproducibility and Validity of A-Mode Ultrasound for Body Composition Measurement and Classification in Overweight and Obese Men and Women
Identifying portable methods to measure body composition may be more advantageous than using body mass index (BMI) to categorize associated health consequences. Purpose: To compare the validity and reliability of a portable A-mode ultrasound (US) to a criterion three compartment model (3C) for the measurement of body composition. Methods: Fortyseven overweight and obese subjects participated…

Validity and Reliability of A-Mode Ultrasound for Body Composition Assessment of Lean, Division I Athletes
Athletes strive for a competitive advantage, and for some athletes building a lean body with a low body fat percentage (%BF) can help them achieve a higher level of performance. This is particularly the case in gravitational sports in which a high body mass hinders performance, in aesthetic sports in which there is a perceived ideal shape, and in weight class sports in which competition is organized into categories of body mass (20). However, some athletes put themselves…
Evaluation of Ultrasound in Assessing Body Composition of High School Wrestlers
Department of Health, Leisure, and Exercise Science, Appalachian State University, Boone, NC
UTTER, A. C., and M. E. HAGER. Evaluation of Ultrasound in Assessing Body Composition of High School Wrestlers. Med. Sci. Sports Exerc., Vol. 40, No. 5, pp. 943–949, 2008. Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy of ultrasound (ULTRA) in assessing fat-free mass (FFM) in comparison with hydrostatic weighing (HW) and skinfolds (SK) in high school wrestlers in a hydrated state. Methods: Body composition was determined by ULTRA, HW, and three-site SK in 70 high school wrestlers (mean T SD: age, 15.5 T 1.5; height, 1.60 T 0.08 m; body mass…

Agreement Between Skinfold, Ultrasound And Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry ln Adults
Skinfold (Sn is a traditional and easily applicable method to access the body composition. ln contrast, the use of ultrasound (US) dates to 60’s, however it seems to be used far less than skin fold technique..
Agreement Of The Body Fat Percentage Evaluated By Ultrasound, Bioelectrical Impedance And Dxa In Brazilian Adults
Body composition evaluation is used in di!erent hypotheses to measure the body fat percentage (%BF). Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is the gold standard method, but it is not a!ordable and portable. As an alternative, bioelectrical impedance (BIA) scales to be easier to use. Another portable and easy-to-use system is the Bodymetrix (BM) (Intelametrix®, CA, USA) which uses ultrasound (US) to assess body composition…

BODY COMPOSITION AND DIETARY INTAKE IN BRAZILIAN CROSSFIT® ATHLETES: ADESCRIPTIVE STUDY
CrossFit® is a training program created by Greg Glessman in 1995 and consists of performing high intensity functional movements. Studies evaluating nutrient intake inCrossFit® athletes are scarce…
Comparation Of Thickness Of Adipose Tissue Between Skinfolds And Ultrasound Method InBrazilian Adults
Ultrasound (US) and skinfold (ST) methods can evaluate the measurement of subcutaneousfat thickness and predict body density. Measurements made with the two techniques at the same spottypically produce different mean estimates of fat thickness. The reproducibility of techniques and the correlation between the points are still unclear in literature….
