Predicted versus measured thoracic gas volumes of collegiate athletes made by the BOD POD air displacement plethysmography system

(Vorausgesagtes vs. gemessenes Thoraxvolumen von Collegeathleten mittels BOD POD Luftverdrängungsplethysmographie-System)

Measured (TGVm) and predicted (TGVp) thoracic gas volumes from the BOD POD were compared in 33 lean, university athletes. On average, TGVp (3.529 L) was not significantly different (p = 0.343) from TGVm (3.628 L); however, there was a bias (r = -0.703, p < 0.001). The difference in the percentage of body fat (BF) was within ±2% BF for 76% of the sample, but athletes at the extremes of height should have TGV measured.
