Types of tools to measure body fat: It compares weight on land to weight when completely submerged in a tank of water
underwater weighing
Types of tools to measure body fat: Uses multiple low energy x-rays to scan body. Provides detailed picture.
dual energy x ray absorptiometry
Types of tools to measure body fat:
Assesses body volume, volume of air in chamber with a person in it is compared to volume without the person in it
air displacement
Types of tools to measure body fat:
Measures conduction of a weak electrical current through the body
bioelectrical impedence
Types of tools to measure body fat:
Measured at multiple body sites by trained person
skinfold thickness
are macronutrients in foods and beverages
biological fuels
are the main fuels. Small amounts of amino acids are also metabilized for energy alcohol also provides energy
glucose and fatty acids
Energy is captures in the molecule
atp
energy cells use to carry out activities
energy output or expediture
4 types of outputs include:
basal and resting metabolism
physical activity
thermic effect of food
nonexercise activity thermogenesis
