Background: Precise and accurate field methods for body composition analyses in athletes are needed urgently. Aim: Standardisation of a novel ultrasound (US) technique for accurate and reliable measurement of subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT). Method...

Practices of food and diet in an urban context. (2015)
Thesis
SPENCER, S.R. 2015. Practices of food and diet in an urban context. Robert Gordon University, MRes thesis.

Obesity is one of the biggest challenges facing the health of the British population, and this is reflected here in the city of Aberdeen. In order to be able to holistically assess the elements which interplay in the causes of obesity, an approach wh... Read More about Practices of food and diet in an urban context..

The ability of UK offshore workers of different body size and shape to egress through a restricted window space. (2015)
Journal Article
STEWART, A., LEDINGHAM, R., FURNACE, G., SCHRANZ, N. and NEVILL, A. 2016. The ability of UK offshore workers of different body size and shape to egress through a restricted window space. Applied ergonomics [online], 55, pages 226-233. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apergo.2015.11.005

404 male offshore workers aged 41.4 (± 10.7 years) underwent 3D body scanning and an egress task simulating the smallest helicopter window emergency exit size. The 198 who failed were older (P < 0.01), taller (P < 0.05) and heavier (P < 0.0001) than...

Body size and ability to pass through a restricted space: observations from 3D scanning of 210 male UK offshore workers. (2015)
Journal Article
STEWART, A., LEDINGHAM, R., FURNACE, G. and NEVILL, A. 2015. Body size and ability to pass through a restricted space: observations from 3D scanning of 210 male UK offshore workers. Applied ergonomics [online], 51, pages 358-362. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apergo.2015.06.017

Offshore workers are subjected to a unique physical and cultural environment which has the ability to affect their size and shape. Because they are heavier than the UK adult population we hypothesized they would have larger torso dimensions which wou...
