Q

Boyles Law states

Equation

What do we have to assume

A

Volume and Pressure are inversely related

P1V1 = P2V2
or
P1/P2 = V2/V1

Q

What is the methodology behind the air displacement

A

Isothermal conditions = Temp of air remains constant as its volume changes

Majority of the air in the enclosed bod pos is under Adiabtic conditions

9
Q

What is adiabatic conditions

A

Temp of air does NOT remain constant as volume changes

Thus it will compress or expand as the temo changes within the chamber

Q

What is the Poissons Law equation

What does it state

A

16
Q

What does the BodPod have to go through in order to have good quality control

A

Analyze hardware
Calibrate scale
Autorun
Volume check - calibration cylinder

2 point calibration before each client

17
Q

What are the pre test measures of BodPod

A

No exercise, food or drink 3 hours before

Use restroom before test

Measure body mass 1 time

Measure body volume 2-3 times

Select daily activity level

Measure/predict TGV

18
Q

How do you work out TGV

A

FRC + 1/2 TV

19
Q

What errors may occur with BodPod

A

Airway pressure - high if puff too forcefully

Merit - high if air leaks

20
Q

When assessing body composition of each client in the Bod Pod, a 2-point calibration is performed by measuring the empty chamber of Bod Pod and the chamber with a 50 L calibration volume cylinder (and breathing tube) placed inside

A

True

21
Q

Like hydrostatic weighing, the Air Displacement Plethysmography using Bod Pod assesses body composition by determining the density of the body

A

True

22
Q

When using Bod Pod, correct height and weight measurements are needed to calculate body surface area

A

True

23
Q

Exhaling to maximal expiration is necessary to obtain an accurate measure of body fat when using the Air displacement plethysmography

A

False

24
Q

The air inside the chamber expands or is compressed as the temperature in the chamber changes describes isothermal conditions

A

False

25
Q

How does the Air Displacement Plethysmography assess body composition

A

By measuring changes in pressure within an enclosed chamber

26
Q

Air displacement plethysmography measures ______ component(s) model of body composition

A

27
Q

You are a 30 year old woman with body weight of 85.6kg and height 167.2cm. % body fat was determined using Bod Pod and it was 35%. Your current lean body mass is

A

85.6 x 0.65 = 55.64 Kg

28
Q

You are a 30 year old woman with body weight of 85.6kg and height 167.2cm. % body fat was determined using Bod Pod and it was 35%. If you want to reduce body fat to 28%, what is your target weight

A
  1. 6 x 0.65 = 55.64

55. 64 / 0.72 % = 77.3 kg

29
Q

Your result from Bodpod showed that your % body fat was 10.5% while DXA result showed 10.6%. This indicates that _____ regarding measurement concept

A

Air displacement plethysmorgraphy is a VALID technique to ASSESS body composition

30
Q

Air displacement plethysmography using Bodpod follows Boyle’s law because of the isothermal condition that the body creates in the chamber

A

False

31
Q

Air displacement plethysmography using Bodpod follows Poisson’s law because of the adiabatic condition that the body creates in the chamber

A

True

32
Q

Using Bodpod, body volume can be underestimated if your thoracic gas volume is higher than what it is

A

False
