Introduction: Fat is a metabolic fuel, but excess body fat is ballast mass and therefore many elite athletes reduce body fat to dangerously low levels. Uncompressed subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) thickness measured by brightness-mode ultrasound (U...

Journal Article
STEWART, A., NEVILL, A. and JOHNSON, C. 2019. The ability of adults of different size to egress through confined space apertures. Human factors [online], 61(6), pages 895-905. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1177/0018720818819384

Objective: To determine minimum egress apertures in healthy adults of different body size. Background: Body space requirements have traditionally been considered from an industrial perspective, facilitating safe confined-space working. However, incre...
