“…The mean (+S.D.) LLV of the men (7.41 + 0.821) was similar to that reported by Winter and Hamley (1976) for trained runners (7.10± 1.101). The LLV of the women (5.19 ±0.851) was similar to that reported by Jones (1970) for a mixed population (4.88 + 0.521), but larger than that reported by Hamley and Watson (1969) for women physical education students (4.27 + 0.661).…”

The purpose of this study was to compare the maximal exercise performance during cycle ergometry of 34 men and 47 women. External peak power output (OPP) and optimized pedalling rate (ORPM) were calculated from data gathered during an optimization procedure performed on a friction braked cycle ergometer. In addition, lean leg volume (LLV) and lean upper leg volume (LULV) were determined using an anthropometric technique. Both OPP and ORPM were greater in men than in women (1007 +/- 135 vs 673 +/- 109 W and 119.5 +/- 7.0 vs 104.5 +/- 8.4 rev min-1, respectively; P less than 0.001). The LLV and LULV were also greater in men than in women (7.41 +/- 0.82 vs 5.19 +/- 0.85 l and 4.96 +/- 0.63 vs 3.35 +/- 0.62 l, respectively; P less than 0.001). The ratio standards OPP/LLV and OPP/LULV did not differ significantly between men and women (136.3 +/- 14.7 vs 131.0 +/- 20.6 W l-1 and 204.4 +/- 27.1 vs 204.4 +/- 37.0 W l-1, respectively; P greater than 0.05). Peak power output was related to each of the anthropometric indices in both men and women (LLV:r = 0.614 and 0.527, P less than 0.001; LULV:r = 0.489 and 0.396, P less than 0.01). Analysis of covariance revealed no significant differences between the groups in the variance about regression and the regression coefficients (P greater than 0.05), but the elevation of the regression lines did differ (P less than 0.001). The results suggest that there are differences between maximal exercise performance in men and women that are independent of estimated lean leg volume. They also demonstrate that, in this case, consideration of ratio standards is misleading and that a comparison of regression standards is more appropriate.

“…The hammer throwers are slightly fatter than the elite discus throwers and shot putters measured by Morrow et al (1982), and considerably fatter than javelin throwers, (8.5%, Morrow et al, 1982) and track athletes (6.3-7.5%, Fox and Mathews, 1981). Winter and Hamley (1976) The somatotypes found indicate a high level of mesomorphy and confirm previous findings by Tanner (1964) among others, that throwers, like weightlifters and wrestlers, are endomorphic mesomorphs, unlike track athletes and most other top-class sportsmen, who are ectomorphic mesomorphs. …”

“…Resting HR and fat-free mass were not correlated. Fat-free mass was used as a covariate in the statistical model because there is a significant linear relationship between fat-free mass and VO 2 (Winter & Hamley 1976), and VO 2max is independently predicted by fat-free mass (Riou et al 2009).…”
