“…Data on this topic have been derived principally from Division I collegiate football programs, with only limited information available from Division III programs. 22,27,28 We evaluated body size characteristics among players in the NESCAC, a Division III conference located in New England and Eastern New York State, over the last nearly 60 years. Data were obtained from game program rosters or Internet-available rosters (or both), the accuracy of which cannot be fully validated.…”

“…Three previous reports of body size data for Division III football players (published in 1999, 27 2003, 28 This subgroup of players has developed in response to the competitive requirement for large linemen in contemporary American football, whether at the professional, college, or even high school and youth football level. [35][36][37] Height in adults cannot, in principle, be modified by exogenous factors such as training and diet.…”

“…[23][24][25][26] Little information is available on body size trends among players in Division III football programs. 22,27,28 Unlike Division I, there are no athletic scholarships as such in Division III programs. Scholarship support is based on financial need and is not modified or forfeited if a player elects to discontinue participation in the football program.…”

“…Limited data suggest that body sizes have also increased among Division III players-particularly offensive and defensive linemen-but apparently to a lesser extent than in Division I. 22,27,28 It is unusual for a Division III player to move on to professional football, and few have aspirations to that end.…”

Main Outcome Measure(s): Body weight, height, and calculated body mass index were evaluated using analysis of variance, linear regression, and nonlinear regression to determine the distribution features of size variables and changes associated with time (year), school, and position. Conclusions: High body weight and body mass indices were evident in offensive linemen, even among those in Division III football programs with no athletic scholarships. These characteristics may be associated with adverse cardiovascular and metabolic outcomes. We need approaches to encourage risk modification in the postfootball lifestyles of these individuals.

Objectives: Squat is known as a common and functional exercise for strengthening the lower limb muscles. However, researchers put it in the category of exercises with high risk of injury. So, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of three different techniques of squat on electromyographic response of trunk and lower limb muscles in athletes and non-athletes. Methods: Twenty subjects including 10 amateurs and 10 professional athletes ranging from 22 to 27 years old participated in the study. Three different techniques of squat were analyzed using electromyography (EMG) assessment. EMG was recorded from vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, semitendinosus, biceps femoris, adductor longus, transversus abdominis and multifidus muscles during squatting. Independent-Samples t-test and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) were used to analysis the data. Results:The finding indicated that there was no significant difference between the two groups in all of the muscles activities (P ≤ 0.05). During lunge squat, the semitendinosus had more muscle activity in comparison with two other techniques (P = 0.023). However, the transversus abdominis and multifidus muscles revealed a less significant muscle activity during lunge squat (P = 0.001). Conclusions: Given the results of this study indicating that lunge squat is more suitable for strengthening the semitendinosus muscle and the parallel and plie squat technique seem to be better suited to strengthen the transversus abdominis and multifidus muscles, it can be argued that these movements can be used to strengthen the hamstring and spinal muscles respectively.

The sport psychology consultant's (SPC) first impression and rapport building with potential clients is vital to 'gaining entry' -the precursor to subsequent service provision.Understanding those characteristics of the consultant that influence the clients' preference and likelihood to seek psychological services contributes to the development of educational training programs for neophyte practitioners, and marketing tools for the field as a whole.This article offers a critical review of studies that have investigated the preferred characteristics of SPCs in terms of likelihood to seek services. A computerised literature search identified 17 studies representing a total of 2962 participants. The most preferred SPC was of the same gender, race, and age of the client with a high athletic background, sportspecific knowledge, and interpersonal skills. Such a consultant was lean and athletically built, physically active, possessed either an advanced degree or was certified and had experience working with diverse populations. Methodological and sampling limitations as well as future research directions are highlighted. SPCs and governing bodies are encouraged to consider these findings for training and marketing purposes.
