• Ectopic fat
  -Intermuscular fat

Question 18

Other ways to measure body composition (1)

Answer 18

1. Hydrostatic (underwater)-assess the body volume by the water displacement to calculate body density. muscle are dense so they sink, where fat is not so dense so it floats

Other ways to measure body composition (2)

Answer 19

Dexa- BODY Absorption of 2 different x-ray beams, bone mineral, other fat free mass have different absorption properties (we have this at the U of R)

Answer 20

Air displacement- its a BODYPOD - similar to the underwater weighing but more variable that can affect results

Question 21

Other ways to measure body composition (4)

Answer 21

Bioelectrical Impedance analysis_ Fat free mass contains mostly water (electricity conductor) vs fat mass contains not a lot of water
