An objective assessment to measure cardiometabolic risk.
31
Waist-to-Height Ratio equation
Waist-to-height ratio = (waist circumference / height) × 100
32
Circumference Measurements
The measurement of the circumference of specific body regions.
33
Waist-to-Hip Ratio
A predictive health measure comparing the circumference of the waist to the circumference of the hips.
34
Waist-to-Hip Ratio equation
WHR = waist circumference / hip circumference
35
Body Density
The compactness of the body determined by dividing its mass by its volume.
36
Chest caliper measurement site
Measure about one inch below the collarbone and two to three inches out from the inside edge of the pectoral muscle. Be sure to stay on the pectoralis and avoid breast tissue if you are measuring a female. Pull the skinfold in a vertical direction.
37
Midaxillary caliper measurement site
Measure the fold in a horizontal line at the point where a vertical line from the mid axilla (middle of armpit) intersects with a horizontal line level with the sternum. Pull the skinfold in a vertical direction.
38
Suprailliac caliper measurement site
Measure about halfway between the navel and the top of the hip bone. This should be at or near the area where the oblique and abdominals meet. Pull the skinfold in a vertical direction.
39
Abdominal caliper measurement site
Measure about one inch to the left of and one inch down from the navel. Pull the skinfold in a vertical direction.
40
Thigh caliper measurement site
Measure in the middle of the quadriceps. If the area is too tight, you made need to go up one to two inches. Pull the skinfold in a vertical direction.
41
Triceps caliper measurement site
With the arm relaxed and to the side, a vertical skinfold measurement is taken halfway between the shoulder and the elbow.
42
Subscapular caliper measurement site
Locate the middle of the scapula and measure a vertical skinfold about one inch from the spine.
43
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis
A method for body composition measurement using a weak electrical current to measure the resistance of body tissues.
44
Hydrostatic Weighing
A tool to measure body composition using water displacement and tissue density.
45
Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry
An X-ray scanning test to determine body composition.
46
Osteoporosis
A skeletal condition that results in weak or brittle bones.
47
Dyspnea
Difficulty or labored breathing.
48
Resting Heart Rate
The measure of heart rate when completely at rest.
49

50
Normal Blood Pressure Reading
Less than 120/80 mm Hg
51
Elevated Blood Pressure Reading
Systolic between 120 and 129 and diastolic less than 80 mm Hg
52
Stage 1 Hypertension Reading
Systolic between 130 and 139 or diastolic between 80 and 89 mm Hg
53
Stage 2 Hypertension Reading
Systolic at least 140 or diastolic at least 90 mm Hg
54

63
Overactive Muscles
Muscles that are shortened beyond the ideal length-tension relationship with high neural activation that feel tight.
64
Underachieve Muscles
Muscles that are lengthened beyond the ideal length-tension relationship and are, therefore, inhibited and less capable of producing force.
65
Muscle Synergies
The activation of a group of muscles to generate movement around a particular joint.
66
Muscular Force Couple
Two or more muscles generate force in different linear directions at the same time to produce one movement.
67
Lumbopelvic Hip Complex

69
Closed Kinetic Chain Movement

Posture when standing upright and still.
72
Movement Assessments
Observation and critique of movement patterns or exercise form.
73
