22
Q

what is the most important consideration in evaluating body weight and comp?

A

proportion of total body weight above recommended range for good health

23
Q

obesity

A

severe overweight and overeat

characterized by excessive accumulation of body fat

24
Q

female health triad

A

abnormal eating patterns and excessive exercising —> amenorrhea —> premature osteoporosis

25
Q

why do a health assessment?

A

helps to determine risk of disease

26
Q

relative risk (RR) equation

A

(event when exposed)/(event when not exposed)
(A/(A+B))/(C/(C+D))

ex: hi BP/no high BP; vaccine/before vaccine

27
Q

do genetics affect risk?

A

yes

28
Q

what do questionnaires do when it comes to risk?

A

they help to determine risk

student-athlete health history - pre participation questionnaire (PPE)
EASIL lab health history

29
Q

biometrics

A

height, weight, BMI
blood pressure (looking for diastolic less than 90)
cholesterol
triglycerides

30
Q

BMI

A

weight/height^2
provides information on disease risk

67 inch x 2.54 = 170.18 cm = 1.7018 m
1.7018^2 = 2.8961 m^2
150 lbs/2.2 = 68.1818 kg
68.1818 kg/2.8961 m^2 = 23.5426

31
Q

activity scales

A

tegner
godin leisure questionnaire (weekly physical activity)

aim to estimate physical activity

32
Q

what are the different ways to look at human body composition?

A

medical (health)
anthropological
performance
appearance

33
Q

anthropological

A

looking at peoples, cultures, where they are from/have lived

34
Q

performance for body comp example

A

an offensive lineman will need to get bigger in order to perform his job

35
Q

why is knowledge of body composition so important?

A

health and disease
performance
appearance
longevity

36
Q

body composition

A

the body’s relative amounts of fat and fat-free mass (bone, water, muscle, connective and organ tissues, teeth)

37
Q

essential fat

A

crucial for normal body functioning

essential for: protection of bones muscles, performance, reproduction in women

38
Q

percent essential fat in males and females

A

males: 3-5%
females 8-12%

39
Q

nonessential fat

A

adipose tissue

considered subcutaneous because it is under the skin

40
Q

fat-free body mass (FFM)

A

given: body mass, body fat %
fat mass = body mass x body fat %
FFM = body mass - fat mass

41
Q

scale weight

A

provides information on amount body mass

low cost
high availability
accurate ?

42
Q

height and weight charts

A

provides information based on person’s height, weight, frame size

43
Q

circumferences

A

specific areas on body are measured with measuring tape

44
Q

waist to hip ratio

A

two circumferences: waist and hip

abdominal fat related to cardiovascular disease risk

measures provide cardiovascular disease risk information

45
Q

waist to hip ratio high risk in men and women

A

men: 0.90-1.0
women: 0.75-0.85

46
Q

near infrared interactance

A

method based on light absorption, reflectance

probe placed on body part, emits infrared light

fat absorbs more infrared light than fat-free mass; more light absorbed, higher fat mass

47
Q

skinfolds

A

“calipers” used to assess amount of fat under skin at specific sites of body

predictions made about total body fat

48
Q

bioelectrical impedance analysis

A

small, painless electrical current passes through body; based on current difference between starting and ending points, percent fat estimated

high impedance, high fat mass

49
Q

hydrostatic weighing

A

person weighed in regular environment and under water

based on difference, can estimate body volume; calculate body density from volume; from density, calculate fat percentage

higher density, leaner subject

50
Q

air displacement

A

device measures air displacement to determine body volume; body density from volume; fat percentage from body density

51
Q

dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA)

A

low-radiation dose of dual-energy X-ray beams pass over body

most accurate

based on attenuation of X-ray, measures fat, bone, and soft lean tissue can be calculated

52
Q

ACSM guideline for physical activity

A

30 mins of moderate-intensity aerobic activity 5 days per week; 3-6 METs

20 mins of vigorous activity 3 days per week; >6 METs

53
Q

overweight and obese BMI

A

overweight: 25-29.9
obese: 30+

54
Q
A
