Week 10 - Intro to Body Composition Flashcards
What comes under the basic model 2-C
FM
FFM
Location for bicep SKF
Point on anterior surface of arm, level of mid-acromiale-radiale landmark in middle of muscle belly.
Arm in mid-prone position w/ thumb pointing forwards.
Location for abdominal SKF
5cm lateral to umbilicus.
Standing on a relaxed position.
Assumptions of the 2C model
Density of FM = 0.9 g/ml
Density of FFM = 1.1 g/ml
FM + FFM densities are the same for all ind.
Densities of various components of FFM are constant w/in ind
Ind being measured differs from a reference body in only amount of fat.
List the different levels of body composition in order of increasing organisational complexity
Atomic
Molecular
Cellular
Tissue
Whole body
TYPICAL BODY COMPOSITION
Muscle in F + M
F = 36%
M = 45%
Body fat % for females of average population of 50 yrs +
16-25%
Location for Tricep SKF
Point on posterior surface of arm in midline at level of mid-acromiale-radiale landmark.
Arm in mid-prone position w/ thumb pointing forwards.
Location for medial calf SKF
Point on most medial aspect of calf at level of max girth.
Location for subscapular SKF
2cm from undermost tip of inferior angle of scapula along line running 45 degrees.
What fold type is there at the iliac crest
Near horizontal
Describe a gynoid body shape
Excess fat mainly on lower body
Location for proximal calf SKF
Posterior aspect of calf in mid-sagittal plane 5cm inferior to fossa poplitea.
TYPICAL BODY COMPOSITION
Nonessential fat in F + M
F = 15%
M = 12%
How is FFM calculated
Total weight - Fat mass
What is Kinanthropometry
Area of science concerned w/ the measurement of human body composition.
Body fat % for females of average population from ages 30-50
15-23%
Describe an android body shape
Excess body fat on upper body + trunk.
How is the FFM index calculated (FFMI)
FFM (kg) / (height (m)^2)
Location for iliac crest SKF
Most superior aspect of iliac crest at mid-axillary line.
Fold right arm across chest.
TYPICAL BODY COMPOSITION
Other in F + M
Both 25%
Body fat % + classifications
Provide F + M for an overweight rating
F = 31-36%
M = 21-24%
What do the fat depots of non-essential/storage fat include?
Adipose tissue
Visceral fatty tissues
== both subcutaneous fat
Body fat % + classifications
Provide F + M for an obese rating
F = >37%
M = >24 %
SKF types for:
Proximal calf
Forearm (lateralis)
Forearm 2 (Volaris)
Vertical
BMI classification for obese class II
35-39.9
What is body composition
Relative prop. of FFM, FM, protein, water + mineral components in the body.
Method for taking SKF
- Record subjects age, stretched height, weight + gender.
- Using measuring tape, mark skin fold sites on RIGHT side of body.
- Ensure muscles relaxed.
- Using thumb + forefinger, grasp tissue at marked site so that double layer of subcutaneous fat + skin is obtained.
- Hold calliper perpendicular to subjects body, measure thickness of centre of fold 1cm away from edge of thumb + forefinger.
- Release pressure of fingers from skin fold but don’t release fingers touch from subjects skin.
- Place calliper 1cm below marking
- Let calliper measure site for no more than 2 sec + record reading.
- Measure each site 1 time through + repeat once more for min of 10% variation.
