An anthropometrical related lower body explosive power (LBEP) prediction model among a cohort of adolescents in the North West Province, South Africa: the PAHL study
(Sabinet, 2015)In the prediction of lower body explosive power (LBEP), very few researchers have investigated the possibility of making use of anthropometric variables to compile prediction models. Therefore the purpose of this study was ... -

Association of waist circumference with perception of own health in urban African males and females: the Sympathetic Activity and Ambulatory Blood Pressure in Africans (SABPA) study
(Health & Medical Publishing Group (JEMDSA), 2012)Background: Current waist circumference (WC) cut-points of the Joint Statement Consensus (JSC) (male ≥ 94 cm, female ≥ 80 cm) were compared with a recently proposed WC cut-point (RPWC) (male ≥ 90 cm, female ≥ 98 cm). In ... -
Body composition and television viewing among high school adolescents residing within the Tlokwe municipality : PAHL study
(North-West University, 2012)Television viewing is one of the most easily modifiable causes of obesity among children. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between body composition and TV viewing among adolescents attending high ... -
Health-related physical fitness, anthropometry and physical activity levels of Zimbabwean children aged 10-12 years old: the Zimbabwe Baseline Survey
(North-West University, 2018)The future of children is being threatened to a steadily increasing extent, not least by the implications of the global obesity epidemic and ever-decreasing general levels of physical activity. Although empirical evidence ... -
Overweight among children decreased, but obesity prevalence remained high among women in South Africa, 1999-2005
(Cambridge University Press, 2012)Objective: The aim of the present study was to assess anthropometric status in South African children and women in 2005 in order to document temporal trends in selected anthropometric parameters. Design: Heights and ... -
Physical activity, body composition and physical fitness status of primary school children in Mpumalanga and Limpopo provinces of South Africa
(LAM Publications; AJOL; Sabinet, 2014)This study was designed to assess the physical activity (PA), body composition and physical fitness status of 1361 (boys: n=678; girls: n= 683) primary school children aged 9-12 years in Mpumalanga (MP) and Limpopo (LP) ... -
The relationship between indices of iron status and selected anthropometric cardiovascular disease risk markers in an African population: the THUSA study
(Clinics Cardive, 2011)There is evidence that certain indices of iron status are associated with anthropometric measures, which are used independently as markers of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. This study examined whether this association ... -
Structural vascular disease in Africans: performance of ethnic-specific waist circumference cut points using logistic regression and neural network analyses: the SABPA study
(George Thieme Verlag, 2013)A recently proposed model for waist circumference cut points (RPWC), driven by increased blood pressure, was demonstrated in an African population. We therefore aimed to validate the RPWC by comparing the RPWC and the Joint ...
