A Study on the Seasonal Change of the Skinfold Thickness

The author has measured the stature, body weight, triceps, subscapular and supra iliac skinfold thicknesses and, calculated the total fat weight of 103 Korean students and 26 coeds in spring, summer, fall and winter to manifest the seasonal change of the subcutaneous fat t issue and the following conclusions have been drawn. 1. The averages of stature are 169.1 em. in male and 155.0 em. in female. 2. The averages of body weight are about 60 kg. in male and about 50 kg. in female and no seasonal changes are found in both sexes. 3. The triceps and suprailiac skinfold thicknesses of male in spring and fall are thinner and then become thicker in summer and winter, but no seasonal changes are found in the subscapular skinfold thickness and the % fat weight. 4. No seasonal changes are found in the skinfold thicknesses and the % fat weight of female

A Study on the Somatotype of the Korean

The author has measured and observed the 51 Gyeong-Nam Korean females by the Sheldon's somato typing method, determined the parameters and the following conclusions have been drawn. 1. There are 9 types of the descriptive classification and 15 somatotypes. 2. In the descriptive classification about 47% of the specimens belong to endomorphic, about 33% to the balanced, about 10% to the mesomorphic and ectomorphic groups respectively. 3. In the somatotype about 26% of the specimens belong to the type 443, about 1896 to the types 543 and 542 respectively, and the remaining types are scattered in small cases. The somatotypes in the teens of age are inclined to the mesomorphic and in the twenties to the endomorphic types. 4. The average somatotype is 443 in general, and the type 443 of the teens of age changes to the type 543 in the twenties

A Study on the Correlation among the Physical Measurements of the Adolescent Koreans

The author has measured the stature. sitting height. chest girth and body weight of the adolescent Koreans and calculated the correlation coeffi cients among the items. The following conclusions were drawn from the study. 1. The coefficients of 0.8 in male and 0.7 in female between stature and sitting height are indicative of highly correlated condition. 2. The coefficients of 0.4 in male and 0.3 in female between stature and chest girth are indicative of low correlated condition. 3. The coefficients of 0.6 in both sexes between stature and body weight are indicative of moderately correlated condition. 4. The coefficient of O. 9 in male between sitting height and chest girth is indicative of highly correlated condition but that of 0.4 in female is indicative of low correlated condition. 5. The coefficient of 0.4 in male between sitting height and body weight is indicative of low corre lated condition and that of 0.6 in female is indicative of moderately correlated condition. 6. The coefficient of 0.6 in male between chest girth and body weight is indicative of moderately correlated condition but that of 0.8 in female is indicative of highly correlated condition. 7. No differences are found in the coefficients between the whites and Koreans

The correlation of the total lower extremity length to stature is very high, those of the total upper extremity length and body weight are relatively high. and those of the chest and hip girths are very low in the male and female athletes of basketball and volleyball. 2). The correlations of the total upper and lower extremity lengths and body weight to stature are very high, and those of the chest and hip girths are relatively high in the athletes of wrestling and boxing. 3). The correlations of the total lower extremity length and body weight to stature are relatively high. and those of the total upper extremity length and chest and hip girths are moderate in the male athletes of the field.and track

A Study on the Equation Formulae for Estimation of Stature from the Measurements of the Upper Extremity in the Korean Fetus

The authors have measured the 2,100 Korean fetuses ranging in age from 16 to 36 weeks to induce the equation formulae for the estimation of stature in terms of the measurements of the upper extremity and the following conclusions have been drawn. 1). The correlation coefficients of over O. 9 between the stature and the measurements of the upper extremity are indicative of highly correlated condition. 2). Adifference of approximately 3 mm. is manifested between actual and estimated statures, where the estimation is based on single measurement. 3). A difference of approximately 1 mm. is manifested between actual and estimated statures, where the estimation is based on double measurements. 4). The estimated stature from double measurements is closer to actual one than is that from single measurement
