Tyler Bosch (Ph.D., ’14) is the lead author of an article to be published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research.

The article entitled, “Abdominal Body Composition Differences in NFL Football Players” examined visceral adipose tissue in professional football players using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). This is the first paper to examine visceral adipose tissue in these professional athletes and examined the visceral adipose tissue levels by position.

This article was part of Bosch’s doctoral dissertation. Donald R. Dengel, Ph.D., a professor of kinesiology and director of the Laboratory of Integrative Human Physiology was a co-author.
