However, it is crucial to consider out-of-sample predictive accuracy when using linear regression models and it is recommended as standard practice. 9 Therefore, before the generalized use of a predictive equation in practice, cross-validation using another sample outside

Therefore, there is a need to investigate whether the cross-cultural differences influence how students’ perceptions of (de-)motivating approaches from the teacher might yield specific motivational

Previous research has developed and cross-validated equations from BMI and simple demographic variables such as sex and age for predicting %BF in individuals without ID ( Deurenberg, Weststrate, & Seidell, 1991 ; Gallagher et al., 2000 ; Jackson et al., 2002 ). These equations, however, may

Alternatively, we hypothesized that these braces may also have a positive acute effect on upper-extremity functionality by reducing axial asymmetry, increasing trunk stabilization, and improving motor behavior. Methods Study Design This cross-sectional study was
