Slide5Slide6Body Mass IndexDefinition
An index of a person’s weight in relation to height
Body composition not considered!
Body weight (kg)
height
(m2)
Slide7Body Mass Index (BMI)
Slide8BMI and Risk of Health Problems
Slide9Skinfold MeasurementsPrinciple behind this technique is that the amount of subcutaneous fat is proportional to the total amount of body fat
Slide10Hydrostatic or Underwater WeighingDisplaces water to measure % fatVolumetric procedureGold Standard
Slide11Bod PodDisplaces air to measure % fat
Slide12Content ReviewDefine body composition and explain how assessedDefine body mass index and explain how it is calculated
Explain techniques for estimating percent body fat (i.e. underwater weighing,
Bod
Pod,
skinfold measurements, and bioelectric impedance analysis)
