Final Exam 2 Flashcards
Body Composition
Relative body fat ( %BF)
Classifies level of body fatness
% Body fat spectrum for 20- to 29-year-olds

Body Composition: two-component Model
Assumptions
- Density of fat= 0.901
- Density of FFN= 1.10 g cc
- Densities of fat and FFB components are same for everyone FFB Water (73.8%); Protein (19.4%); Mineral (6.8%)
- Densities of the various tissues composing the FFB are constant within an individual.
- Individual being measured differs from the reference body only in the amount of body fat.

% Body Fat
Body composition: Multi-component Model
Eliminate much of the guesswork in 2C model assumptions
Measure %water and %mineral
Useful for developing population-specific formulas
Hydrolastic Weighing (HW)
Valid and reliable densitometric method
Estimate body volume(BV)
Requires total body submersion
Computation of DB
Db= total body mass/ BV
Residual lung volume (RV0 measurement increases accuracy
Pretest guideline adherence a must

Anthropometry
Air Displacement Plethysmography (ADP)
Requires minimal client compliance and technician skill
Based on Boyle’s Law of Pressure-volume relationships
Body Surface are (BSA) correction
Thoracic gas Volume (TGV)
Measured= Best
Predicted= faster
Pretest guidelines similar to those for HW
Skinfold Method
Indirect measurement of subcutaneous body fat
Assumptions
SKF is a good measure of subcutaneous fat
Distribution of subcutaneous and internal fat is similar for all of the same sex
Sum of SKFs from multiple sites usabe to estimate total body fat
Relationship exist between SKFs and Db
Age is independent predictor of Db for adults
Major sources of error
Technician Skill
Type of SKF caliper
Client factors
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis
Assumptions
- Body is perfect cylinder, uniform in length and cross-sectional area
- Tissue are current conductors or insulators; current seeks path of least resistance
- Resistance and Reactance related
Kilocalorie (kcal):
unit of heat energy
Caloric excess/ deficit of 3,500 kcal=
gain/loss of 1lb of fat
RMR:
EAT:
NEAT:
RMR: Resting metabolic rate
EAT: exercise activity thermogenesis
NEAT: non-exercise activity thermogenesis
Desigining weight loss program
3,500 kcal deficit needed to lose 1lb
500 to 1,000 kcal/day deficit
Calorie restriction and exercise combo
Exercise Prescription for weight loss
Frequency:
Intensity:
Time:
Type:
Exercise without diet has only modest effect
Work with a nutrition professional for the diet
> 250min/ wk is recommended
Frequency: Daily
Intensity: moderate; duration is more important
Time: > 60min
Type; aerobic for weight loss, but use resistance training to prevent weight regain and preserve FFM
Benefits of exercise for weight loss
Increase
Energy expenditure
Aerobic fitnes and ability to expand more kcal
Minimize loss of FFM
Offset diet-induced reduction
Exercisers maintain weight loss more than nonexercisers

Active-assisted
Steps for PNF 4
- Stretch to end of ROM
- Static Muscle action against partner resistance: 5-10 sec
- Relax muscle and stretch farther
- CRAC: contact opposing muscle group: 5-6 sec
ACSM recommendations for PNF
Static contrac tion duration; 3-6 sec
Static contraction intensity: 20%-75% MVC
Assisted stretch duration: 10-30 sec
