Method:
The experiment was conducted with the informed consent of all of the participants. These subjects consisted of 34 males and 30 females all of which were in good health and aged between 18 and 36. Confidentiality was of utmost importance and respected throughout the entire project. If any potential subjects did not wish to participate then that was understood and they did not take part. Another means of safeguarding the privacy of both groups (males and females) was to conduct the measurements at different times. One session was for males only and another for only females.
The following measurements were taken body mass (kg), height (m), % body fat, 2nd digit (index finger)(mm), 4th digit (ring finger)(mm), foot (cm), waist (cm), hip (cm), BMI and then the differences between 2nd and 4th digits, waist to hip and height to foot sizes.
The body mass was taken using analogue scales, the height using a stadiometer, % body fat using bio electrical impedance analysis monitor (with damp hands), 2nd and 4th digit (on the right hand) and foot (right foot) size using an accurate ruler and finally the hip using a tape measure.
After the process had taken place of gathering all the required measurements we then carried out a statistical analysis which included the mean averages, the standard deviation and finally the t test using the primary data we had gathered. The software used was OpenOffice.org Calculator, this software is very similar to that of Microsoft Excel.

* It is important to think about confidentiality when taking a patients physiological measurements because by law patients notes and details have to be kept private.
A total of 59 participants took part in this experiment. They were split into two independent experimental groups, one being the control group, and the other the experimental group. There were 30 participants in the control group, and 29 participants in the experimental group. The male to female ratio was fairly equal with
Nevertheless, the unidentified person may have had malnutrition, which would lead to stunted growth in certain areas that happened to not affect the humerus or femur. Back to how the results came out, the students plugged the measurements into certain formulas according to race and gender. By having these differences in formula, it made it more accurate because each race and gender, due to genetics, can make the height different.
The significance of her BMI is used for the estimation of weight that is associated with health and longevity. It is
The t-test is a parametric analysis technique used to determine significant differences between the scores obtained from two groups. The t-test uses the standard deviation to estimate the standard error of the sampling distribution and examines the differences between the means of the two groups. Since the t-test is considered fairly easy to calculate, researchers often use it in determining differences between two groups. When interpreting the results of t-tests, the larger the calculated t ratio, in absolute value, the greater the difference between the two groups. The significance of a t ratio can be determined by comparison with the critical values in a
The null hypothesis was that the female and male shoe sizes have an equal mean while the alternative hypothesis was that female and male shoe sizes do not have an equal mean. With the degrees of freedom being 33, the t-statistic is -8.27. The probability that -8.27 is ≤-1.69 is 7.5×10-10 for the one-tailed test. Also, the probability that -8.27 is ≤ ±2.03. is 1.5×10-9 for the two-tailed test. Due to both probabilities being under the alpha value of 0.05, the null hypothesis is rejected, and the alternative hypothesis is accepted at the 95% confidence level.
The analysis of the data was done by employing the following statistical techniques which were chosen only after the investigator found them to be most appropriate and compatible to the data. Each statistical method is based upon its own specific assumptions regarding the nature of the sample, its universe and research conditions. These factors were considered in advance. Following statistical measures were
height, he went from 23,8 to 26,94. On the BMI scale, he went from normal to overweight.
The t-test for independent means was used to compute the average scores of one or more variables between the two unrelated groups (between groups). The participants were tested once. The researcher conducted an independent t-test to compare group means
This experience consisted of 20 subjects from Woden plaza varying of age and gender. It also included one student who was going to conduct the experiment.
In order to evaluate and comment on my body composition, I used the CPAFLA indices. My BMI resulted to 19.29 (kg/m2) which ranks as an ideal score. Furthermore, when considering the SO5S score, the ideal value is under 54 mm (according to the table on page 3.10 of the lab manual) and my value resulted into being 43.2 mm which is perfect as it is not too much and not too little fat (as I scored an ideal score for BMI). Moreover, the waist circumference should also be taken into account for the pattern of fat distribution and that it does not show any health risks. The ideal waist circumference is under 94 cm and my waist circumference resulted into being 80 cm which is an excellent score but could be a little more closer to 94 to make is ideal. I do not have trunk fatness because my waist
Body composition is measured in many ways. Anthropometry refers to human body composition measurement. The most accurate and direct form of measuring body composition is cadaver dissection which involves dissecting a dead human body and determining the fat percentage. In vivo or indirect, doubly indirect methods do not measure body composition directly, however predict it from
In terms of statistical analysis the data is telling the interpreter what households have a child who is over the recommended BMI or under the recommended BMI and how their lifestyle or social practices come into play influencing the BMI. The data was analyzed by grouping the selected children into groups of children who attend public school versus private school, their household’s income range, if they qualify for the school lunch or breakfast programs, and their BMI. The data was also analyzed in reference to all of the other questions asked such as parent’s education,
As a result, the anthropometric data used in the design of the equipment used in Turkish higher education are based on anthropometric data from other countries and thus do not represent the average body measurements of the Turkish people (Kayis, 1988; Turgut et al., 2004).
