Body fat rises if your intake of calories is higher than your output of calories
Slide9Measuring Body Fat
Underwater Weighing
Electrical
ImpedanceSkin Fold MeasurementBMI (Body Mass Index) Calculation
Slide10Underwater Weighing
Hydrostatic Weighing
Most accurate method
However, it’s the most expensivePoolScale
Trained Individuals
Slide11Electrical Impedance
How electricity travels through a given material
A very slight electrical current runs through the body and it measures the degree of resistance against the current
Every tissue has different electrical
impedance
determined by its molecular composition
Slide12Skinfold Measurement
Uses a skinfold caliper to measure a fold of skin and its underlying layer of fat at key locations of the body
Usually taken at 3-9 spots
Iliac Crest
Triceps
Biceps
Suprascapular (spinal area)
Abdominal
Front Thigh
Medial Calf
Chest (near armpit)
Slide13Body Mass Index (BMI)
Calculation used to determine BMI
Least accurate way

Depression

Death from starvation
Slide18Bulimia
Characterized by a cycle of binge eating followed by purging
Purging is usually followed with guilt
Slide19Bulimia
Both mental & physical
Treatment through hospital stay or outpatient services
Slide20Steroids
Used to increase muscle size & strength
“Designer” Steroids:
An anabolic (muscle building) drug that has been structurally manipulated to mimic the muscle building effects of testosterone, while sidestepping a positive steroid test
Slide21Steroids: Major Male & Female Side Effects
High blood pressure & heart disease
Liver damage and cancers
Stroke and blood clotsUrinary and bowel problems
Headaches, aching joints, and muscle cramps
Nausea and vomiting
Sleep problems
Increased risk of ligament and tendon injuries
Severe acne, especially on face and back
Baldness
Slide22Male Side Effects
Males
One of the most disturbing effects of steroid use for males is that the body begins to produce less of its own testosterone cause the following effects:
Reduced sperm count
Impotence
Increase in nipple and breast size
Enlarged prostate
Shrinking of the testicles
Infertility
Females
Since steroids act as a male hormone, females may experience the following effects:
Reduced breast size
Increase in facial and body hair
Deepened voice
Menstrual problems
Male patterned baldness
Slide23A Special D
anger to Adolescents
High school and middle school students & athletes need to be aware of the effect steroids have on growth.
Anabolic steroids, even in small doses, have been shown to stop growth too soon.
Adolescents also may be at the risk for becoming dependent on steroids.
Adolescents who use steroids are also more likely to use other addictive drugs and alcohol.
