Evaluation of a rotary laser body scanner for body volume and fat assessment.
TL;DR: The evaluation tests indicate that the 3D laser body scanner is a reliable and valid technique for the estimation of body volume and body fat, and body imaging is an accurate measure of bodyfat, as compared to dual energy X-ray absorptiometry.
Endurance exercise training has a minimal effect on resting heart rate: The HERITAGE study
Jack H. Wilmore,Philip R. Stanforth,Jacques Gagnon,Arthur S. Leon,Dabeeru C. Rao,James S. Skinner,Claude Bouchard +6 more
TL;DR: There is a significant, but small, decrease in resting heart rate as a result of 20 wk of moderate- to high-intensity endurance training; which suggests a minimal alteration in either, or both, intrinsic heart rate and autonomic control of HRrest.
