\title{Body Composition Data for Australian Rowers}
\format{
A data frame with 37 observations and 12 variables:
\describe{
  \item{sex}{Factor. Sex of the athlete (\code{female} or \code{male}).}
  \item{rcc}{Numeric. Red blood cell count (in \eqn{10^{12}} per litre).}
  \item{wcc}{Numeric. White blood cell count (in \eqn{10^{12}} per litre).}
  \item{hc}{Numeric. Hematocrit (in percent).}
  \item{hb}{Numeric. Hemoglobin concentration (in g per decilitre).}
  \item{ferr}{Numeric. Plasma ferritin concentration (in ng per millilitre).}
  \item{bmi}{Numeric. Body mass index (in kg per metre-squared).}
  \item{ssf}{Numeric. Sum of skin folds (in mm).}
  \item{bfat}{Numeric. Body fat proportion, originally measured
        in percent and rescaled to the unit interval (0, 1).}
  \item{lbm}{Numeric. Lean body mass (in kg).}
  \item{ht}{Numeric. Height (in cm).}
  \item{wt}{Numeric. Weight (in kg).}

\description{
Hematological, body composition, and anthropometric measurements on
37 elite rowers (22 female, 15 male) at the Australian Institute of
Sport (AIS), a subset of a larger dataset collected across multiple
sports. The data are useful for investigating sex-based differences
in blood and body composition among highly trained athletes.
}
\details{
The original measurements were collected in the late 1980s by Richard
Telford and Ross Cunningham at the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS),
and were later compiled and popularized by Cook and Weisberg (1994).
\code{AISRowing} is the 37-athlete subset corresponding to rowing,
out of 202 athletes across all sports in the original dataset. The
full dataset (covering all sports, not just rowing) is also discussed
in Weisberg (2005, Section 6.4).
