Effects of Physical Training on the Body Composition Add Diet of Females
1969
Abstract A study was conducted to determine the effects of two different physical training programs on the body composition and dietary patterns of college females. Ten members of the women's tennis team and five members of the women's swimming team at the University of California, Santa Barbara, were subjects. Measurements were made of body density by underwater weighing, subcutaneous skinfold fat, estimated percent of body fat, and calorie intake by seven-day dietary histories. Both groups were measured three times during 16 weeks of sports training. No significant F ratios (.05 level) were found within or between the two groups for any of the experimental variables measured. Apparently, physical activity without strict dietary control has little effect in modifying the body composition or dietary patterns.
