Question 2

When considering type of exercise…

Answer 2

be sure to include activities that help students improve their “comprehensive fitness levels” (don’t want to ONLY improve flexibility or only strength) and give students an opportunity to monitor improvements in “overall body composition”. (monitor ratio muscle to fat) -can measure by..
BIA (Bioelectrical Impedance Assessment) electrodes attached to body. Based on resistance of body to electricity, we can see fat to muscle because they can conduct electricity differently.
Skinfold test- basically grabbing the fat on your arm and measuring it.
Height and circumference measurements- circumference of neck, or waist, based on proportion of height they would determine what range you fall in.
BMI- Body Mass Index- based on height, you compare you height and your weight meet, and where you fit in the index.
**BIA is more accurate than others.
