Lab Test 2 (lab 7) Flashcards
body build does this
identifies distribution patterns of FAT and LEAN tissues
body composition does this
percentage of FW vs FFW
Body build is concerned with distribution of tissues as opposed to just this
composition of the body tissue
Body build cannot determine this
FFW or FW
T/F: BOdy build doesn’t take gender or age into account
F, does take gender and age into account
Two reasons we us anthopometric measures to describe aspects of body build because
body build is associated with health and performance
body build can help in predicting success in certain sports
T/F: most sports have optimal body types/body builds
T
Behnke somatogram is
graphic description of body proportions
Behnke somatogram is based on these
circumferences
Behnke somatograms represent this
general pattern of body mass distribution
Behnke somatograms are ideal for tracking this
growth and development of children
behnke somatograms identifies this between body segements
disproportion
These measurements reflect fatness
chest
abs
hips
thighs
T/F: a measure >105% = more muscular (chest,abs, hips, and thighs)
F, less muscular
This is done to the circumference values of a behnke somatograms
average of right and left
These reflect muscle
forearm
flexed arm
shoulder
calf
T/F: a measure
F, > 105%
these are bony sites
wrist
knees
ankles
T/F: a measure of
T
T/F: a measure of > 105% = more fat
F, less fate to relative skeletal size
average weight that is appropriate for that frame size (based on skeletal size and height)
reference weight
When doing reference weight we do this
do not average right and left limb measurements. Add diameters togethere
Normal weight formula =
BW - RW = +/- 5 kg
T/F: somatotyping uses all 3 anthropometric measures
T
What are the 3 anthropometric measures
diameters
skinfolds
circumferences
roundness, fatness =
endomorphy
muscularity
mesomorphy
linearity, tall, skinny
ectomorphy
Somatotyping allows us to do this to athletic populations
categorize
what side of body do we take skinfold measurements
right side
four skinfold measurements for somatotyping
triceps
subscapular
suprailiac
calf
