William Duquet

  • Research Expertise:
    • Analysis and evaluation of the body build of the individual athlete and comparison with the optimal body build within the specific sport. This analysis is carried out by means of a complete biometric profile, with measurements of lengths, widths, perimeters and fat, and calculation of proportions, somatotype, body composition, applying techniques of skinfold measurements, bio- electrical impedance and hydrostatic weighing.
    • Analysis and evaluation of the motor/physical fitness profile with specific tests of flexibility, speed, strength, agility, balance, muscular endurance and test items of the Eurofit test battery.
    • Prediction of adult height in children and adolescents with own norms by means of the skeletal age, height, weight, age and midparental height
    • To provide anthropometric data for industrial-ergonomic purposes (design of furniture clothing, apparatuses ...)
  • Keywords:Physical education and physiotherapy
  • Disciplines:Agricultural, veterinary and food sciences
