Kinesiology Ph.D. graduate publishes in Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research

DengelD-2005Tyler Bosch, Ph.D. (2014),  is the lead author of an article recently published in The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research. The article, “Abdominal Body Composition Differences in NFL Football Players,” examined visceral fat mass as well as other measures of abdominal body composition in National Football League players before the start of the season. The results of the study suggest that as players get larger, there is more total fat than total lean mass accumulation, and more fat is distributed to the abdominal region. The research article was part of Dr. Bosch’s doctoral dissertation.  Dr. Donald Dengel, kinesiology professor and director of the Laboratory of Integrative Human Physiology, is the senior author and was Dr. Bosch’s doctoral adviser.
