One Component Model of Body Composition
The use of overall body mass to infer body composition.
It is important to understand that perceiving flaws within our own physical appearance is a natural phenomenon referred to as
Body dysmorphia
Focusing health behaviors on acquiring greater functional capacity and shifting focus from how an individual looks to how an individual feels/their achievements can help reduce much of their
body dissatisfaction.
The differentiation of body composition into either fat or fat–free mass.
Two Component Model of Body Composition
Fat cell specalized for the storage of energy.
White Adipose Tissue
Fat cell specalized for the creation of heat.
Brown Adipose Tissue
Fat cell specialized for both the storage of energy and the creation of heat.
Beige Adipose Tissue
and increase to four times their initial size (going from 25-50 micrometers to 100-200 micrometers).
hypertrophy
However once hypertrophic limits have been reached, white adipocytes undergo and cellularly divide to create more white adipocytes.
hyperplasia
Fat cells located under the
skin. Also sometimes referred to as Dermal Adipose Tissue.
Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue
Fat cell located around the organs.
Visceral Adipose Tissue
The differentiation of body composition into either fat, water, protein, or mineral mass.
Four Component Model of Body Composition
The differentiation of body composition into either fat or fat–free mass. Fat mass constitutes both storage fat and essential fat mass. Fat–free mass constitutes muscle, bone, skin, organs, and blood mass.
Anatomical Model of Body Composition
Represent the actual compartment mass. Commonly measured in units (lbs, kgs, N; e.g., kg of fat; kg of fat–free mass).
Absolute Body Composition
Represents the compartment mass in relation to some aspect of body mass (e.g., % fat; % fat–free mass).
Relative Body Composition
