For the next phase you will need to plot the results using Statistical Analysis - which you would have done as part of your engineering course amind you you will need more than one scatter plot, line of best fit and trend line to analyse the different effects. The third phase would be to do binomial distribution using Z, mu and sigma all of which you would have done in your course. Excell can be used on the computer to do the Statistical Analysis and Binomial Distribution - The graphs are good. There are plenty of add-ons that you can down load from the net - so you should not have a problem doing this. Well that's about all I can help you with - Hasta la vista. All the Best. Peter Gow   ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In the market for a car?

The > lower the figure the better for the knees... > > Michael Koblic > Campbell River, BC True, as long as it is not below 20. BMI under 20 grows the risk of ostheoporosis, which can sometimes be even worse than overweight. By the way, in some conutries the "normal BMI" is between 19-24. This is because of the variations in general body structure of the people (some are naturally leaner). - Marko --__--__-- Message: 3 From: "Marc Denny" To: Date: Thu, 5 Aug 2004 06:44:33 -0700 Subject: [Eskrima] More knees Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Woof All: Witchdoctor wrote: BEGIN "Sharing my experience with bad knees, in the hope it may help others: I am a cyclist and had many knee problems when I was younger, bad enough to prevent a racing career. Someone mentioned hips as a good place to look, but also bear in mind many things affect the knees; the body is a very complex system. Look at the soles of your shoes, are they worn more on the left or right edge of the heel? Sit on a table with your legs relaxed, dangling above the floor. Are your feet toed-in or toed-out? Sit on the floor barefoot with your legs together straight out in front of you and have a friend check to see of one leg is a tiny bit longer than the other( true for many people, usually less than ¼ inch). If any of these things is true, see a good sports-medicine doctor that specializes in feet for custom corrective insoles or other balancing measures." END I'm the guy who mentioned hips as a good place to look. I agree with looking at the shoes and also looking at toed-in or toed-out. (My understanding is that feet should be parallel.) If they are, in my experience this originates in imbalance between internal and external rotators of the hip joint. By far more common is toes-out, which BTW, creates a lot of pressure at the sacrum. My experience with the idea of one leg being longer than the other is that it was unsound. Although I can only speak of my experience, I suspect it often to be unsound. I was so diagnosed by a very good chiro, got the inserts and my knees promptly got much worse only to recover upon removing them. Further experience in solving the problem led to realizing that the legs were "uneven" because the hips were uneven! BEGIN "Also remember muscles come in flexor/extensor pairs. Many times one gets more strongly developed than the other. For example, cycling favors the quads, while running favors the hamstrings. My knees cannot take the impact of running on pavement or even wood, so I run on grass or on the beach(especially in the deep sand, it works all the balancing muscles like free weights do, as well as those in the feet). What helped my knee problems a lot was riding a fixed-gear bike (track bike). Since they do not allow coasting, slowing down requires a reversal of the pedaling motion and requires the same amount of energy to slow down as to accelerate forward. (I recommend an auxiliary hand brake for newcomers or traffic or hilly rides) I theorize that this helped balance the support of my patella; I use a track bike for all of my commuting and errands, and have find this to be enough mileage to allow 100 mile rides on a road bike without knee trouble. As a bonus, track bikes are as bulletproof and low-maintenance as a bicycle gets. I hope this helps, if anyone needs cycling advice/info, please feel free to email me.." END Excellent point about muscular imbalance. I agree with the benefits of sand in helping it. It certainly helped me recover from years of imbalance after my three knee surgeries which replaced the ACL, PCL and Lateral Collateral Ligaments. Although I despise running, "doing the Dune" at a giant sand dune about 10 minutes from my house is one of my favorite workouts. I go up on all fours (great for abs and fingers), backwards (great for glute-hamstring connection and leveling out the hips), cariocas (changing sides every 10 steps-- this is great for lateral stability and mobility), and forwards (develops calves and opens the underside of the toe joints. I sprint down the hill on all sets, except for the last when I do "frogs" (continuous standing broad jump). The frogs are great plyometrics and the sand makes for a soft landing which at my age (52 on the 23rd) is much appreciated. My respects on the track bike thing!. I tried one once a few decades ago and it freaked me out when I tried to brake. Perhaps my first ride should not have been on the streets of Manhattan , , , sometimes I wonder at the fact that I'm still alive , , , Woof, Crafty Dog --__--__-- Message: 4 From: "Sonny Padilla" To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net Subject: RE: [Eskrima] Animal fighting ?

I have a BMI of about 33-34, and I have a %body fat that is between 16-21%. The BMI number qualifies me for being obese enough to get surgery on my stomache (* no that I would want it *), and the percent body fat is in line with my age group and activity level. I would like to keep it below the 20% level though. I use one of the scales that has a slight inductance charge through your feet as recommended by my doctor. So like everything, you need a complete picture, you can be fit and have high cholesterol, or you can be fit and have a high BMI. Best regards Rich Message: 2 From: "Michael Koblic" To: "Eskrima digest" Date: Wed, 4 Aug 2004 16:52:18 -0700 Subject: [Eskrima] BMI Reply-To: eskrima@martialartsresource.net "normal BMI should be between 20-25. Under 20 is considered too low and 25-30 is considered overweight, 30-35 serious overweight and over 35 patgological overweight. Of course, one has to remember that the BMI can vary depending on your body structure, a person doing a lot of exercise has more muscular mass and therefore the BMI can be higher. However, if it's over 25 you probably have some extra baggage... ;-)" This is exactly right. 25-30 is fat, 30+ is fat-fat in FMA parlance. The lower the figure the better for the knees...
