What are the 3 models of body composition?
- Chemical Model
- anatomical model
- two-compartment model
What are the 5 components of the chemical model of body composition?
fat, protein, carbohydrates, minerals, water
What are the 5 components of the Anatomical model of body composition?
Adipose tissue, muscle, organs, bone, other
What are the 2 components of the 2 compartment model of body composition?
fat mass & fat free mass
What are the ways that body composition is measured?
- skinfold
- dual energy ray absorptiometry
- Bioelectric impedance
- Densitometry/ hydrostatic weighing
Densitometry: measures body ____
- Hydrostatic (underwater) weighing
- Muscle heavier than water, fat lighter than water
- Most commonly used method
-density
DXA
- Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry
- Quantifies:_______
- Precise and reliable but expensive and technical
bone and soft-tissue composition
Air plethysmography (Bod Pod)
- densitometry technique
- ____ displacement (instead of water)
- Easy for subject, difficult for operator, expensive
Air
Skinfold
- Most widely used field technique
- Measures thickness at __ or __ sites
- Uses ____ equations, reasonably accurate
3 or 7
quadratic
Bioelectric impedance
- Electrodes on ankle, foot, wrist, hand
- Current passes from proximal to distal sites
- Fat-free mass good ______, fat poor _______
- Reasonably accurate
conductor
conductor
Fat free Mass (includes muscle):
Excess of fat free mass is good for power, strength, & muscle endurance.
But it’s bad for_______(more mass to carry)
aerobic endurance
Fat is a dead weight but useful ____ store
energy
Less fat ususally = better ____
unless sumo wrestler, swimmer, weight lifter etc.

Some Eating disorders include
- anorexia nervosa
- bulimia nervosa
Menstrual dysfunction
- Delayed _____, oligomenorrhea, or amenorrhea
- Prevalent in low-body-weight sports
- Due to caloric intake
