Anthropometric dimensions to predict 1-RM bench press in untrained females

摘要

Background. Previous research has indicated a strong relation- ship between anthropometric dimensions and strength in males. To date, little work has been done to explore this topic in females. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationships Between selected anthropometric dimensions and 1-RM bench Press in untrained college females. Methods. Untrained college females (n=113) were evaluated For 18 measured and seven derived anthropometric variables To predict 1-RM bench press strength. Triplicate measurements Were averaged for five skinfolds, five circumferences, and six Skeletal widths.
