| | | Beware of ExRx.net calculator Was checking out my miserable pushup performance on their calc.
For the helluvit, I kept changing the age, to see what the calc would give
as an average.
It turns out that if you are 6 months old, you should be banging out 60-70
pushups!!
Only 6 if you are 100.
Clearly, the program is simply extrapolating a formula, not true data
comparison.
Hopefully, it's somewhat valid for ages 20-60, but I wonder about that, as
they don't give their source, formula, etc.

How do you know that data isn't accurate. Kids are pretty strong for
their own body weight. They certainly get more exercise than adults
do. And only those with very strong constitution make it to 100. The
data was also taking back in the 70's. I suspect that people of that
time where more in shape then people of today. The 100 yr old grew up
in a very different time then people of today. |

Here's the code use if you are interested:
function calc (form) {
var S, StandDev, PercRegress, Zscore, PE
S=form.Sex.options[form.Sex.selectedIndex].value
if (S == "Male") {
form.PopulationAverage.value =
Math.round(70.592*Math.pow(10,-0.010502*form.Age.value))
}
if (S == "Female") {
form.PopulationAverage.value =
Math.round(35.405-0.49*form.Age.value)
}
if (S == "Male" && form.Repetitions.value<=form.PopulationAverage.val ue) {
StandDev =
179.35*Math.pow(form.Age.value,-0.69961)
}
if (S == "Male" && form.Repetitions.value>form.PopulationAverage.valu e) {
StandDev =
14.5
}
if (S == "Female" && form.Repetitions.value<=form.PopulationAverage.val ue)
{
StandDev =
28.155-0.39*form.Age.value
}
if (S == "Female" && form.Repetitions.value>form.PopulationAverage.valu e)
{
StandDev =
22.279+0.084286*form.Age.value-0.0028571*Math.pow(form.Age.value,2)
}
Zscore = (form.Repetitions.value-form.PopulationAverage.value)/StandDev
PE= Math.exp(-1.8355027*(Math.abs(Zscore)-0.23073201))
PercRegress= -0.41682992*(PE-1)/(PE+1)+0.58953708
if (Zscore > 0) {
form.Score.value =
Math.round(PercRegress*100)
}
if (Zscore <= 0) {
form.Score.value =
Math.round((1-PercRegress)*100)
}
if (Zscore >= 1) {
form.Rating.value ="Excellent"
}
if (Zscore < 1 && Zscore >= 0.5) {
form.Rating.value ="Good"
}
if (Zscore < 0.5 && Zscore >= -0.5) {
form.Rating.value ="Average"
}
if (Zscore < -0.5 && Zscore >= -1) {
form.Rating.value ="Fair"
}

I wonder why the math for the male average is more complicated than the
female average and I wonder how they came up with that algorithm

I hate web page designers. Why are they quoting a study if they are
just going to do something like that? I assumed they where linking
back to the actual data. Which would make a lot more sense if you are

My original point.
I mean, c'mon, 70 pushups at 6 months old?
I think DAT beats "troneatronics".
And is age the only valid variable? At least BMI?
Shute, how'd you get the code?

He didn't, I did; via a rudimentary understanding of the structure of web

That is why I would have used the actual data. It can't be consistent
strictly by age. It wouldn't surprise me if the ages 24-35 where
worse than ages above and below. I would be interested in other
information like race and weight. I have seen things like education
level have an effect on their obesity level.
