II. BODY COMPOSITION A. Body Fat: Amt. Determined bySIZE & NUMBER of Fat Cells - ADIPOCYTES This Number is fixed by Adulthood B. Fat-Free Weight (FFW) LEAN- BODY MASS: Skeletal Muscles Bones, Organs, other tissue Lean Body Mass still includes some fat for structures- cell membranes, nerves, etc.- but NOT fat Storage
LEAN BODY MASS-FFW • Ave% = 85% Men, 75% Womenby WT • AID to PERFORMANCE! • If Weight Bearing or Movement is Important, LBW/FFW is Critical • More Muscle = More Force • Muscle Type Determines Exposiveness
BODY FAT • Ave % : Men = 15%, Women: 25% by Wgt. • Athletes = LOWER (6-9% Marathon) • NO RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BODY FAT AND PERFORMANCE! • EXCESS BODY FAT = WEIGHT ONLY!
ASSESSMENT of Body Fat Usual Methods Best to Least Accurate 1. Hydrostatic Weighing - Most Accurate but Expensive and Impractical in the Field 2. Skin Fold Caliper - Acceptable Field Base Electronic/Manual, (Tatoos)
Skin Fold Caliper Best Known Method for Body Composition Estimates % of Body Fat from Subcutaneous Fat measures as determined by the: SKINFOLD THICKNESS (mm) Use SKINFOLD CALIPERS- Triceps, Scapula, Abdomen
Hydrostatic Weighing DIFFICULT but MOST ACCURATE Measure total body weight under water Determine Density of weight- Estimates % Body FAT from knowing Density Fat is less dense than Muscle DENSITY= Mass per Unit Volume D = M/V ex. sand in water
Predicting IDEAL Weight ANTHROPOMETRICMeasures+ formulas Chest Width/ Chest Depth/ Wrist Width/Ht/Wt Estimate Minimal Weight Requirements 1. Tcheng/Tipton Method -Research based on Wrestlers- ANTHROPOMETRICS: Chest Width/ Chest Depth/ Wrist Width/Ht/Wt 2. Lohman - Skin Folds (less Accurate)
Energy- Balance Issues ENERGY BALANCE: FOOD INTAKE = ENERGY OUTPUT POSITVE BALANCE: INTAKE is GREATER than OUTPUT NEGATIVE BALANCE: OUTPUT is GREATER than INTAKE
ACSM Weight Loss Guidelines • Sound Nutritional Diet and ENDURANCE Work • NO PROLONGED FASTS! • Estimate Daily Calorie/Work Levels • Reduce Intake by 500-1000 Calories = 2/3 lbs per week • Exercise the Large Muscles
ACSM Weight Gain Guidelines • Estimate Daily Calorie/Work Levels • Increase Intake by 1000-1500 Calories • = 2/3 lbs per week • 6000 calories might be REALISTIC • Add Calories over MANY Meals • Exercise to BUILD MUSCLE
Pathogenic Weight Control Most Affected-Gymnists/Wrestlers/Cheerleaders Fasting Vomiting Fluid Restriction Laxatives Excessive Running Sweating- Dehydration Diet Pills
DEHYDRATION A Condition resulting from Excessive Loss of Water HEAT ILLNESS- A Condition resulting from Increased Body Temp
ACSM - Dehydration Causes Decreased: • Strength • Muscular Endurance • Plasma/Blood Volume • Cardiac Function • Oxygen Consumption • Thermoregulatory Function • Renal Blood Flow • Glycogen Stores • Electrolytes
SYMPTOMS Disabling muscular cramps **Heavy Sweating, Fatigue/Nausea Thirst/ Normal BP/ Alert Normal body temperature or slightly elevated Treatment 4–8 oz of cold water every 10–15 minutes avoid caffeine bev. Move to shade Remove as much clothing/ equipment as possible Heat Ilness: Heat cramps
SYMPTOMS Treatment Give 16 oz of cold water for each pound of weight lost Move to a cool place Remove as much clothing/ equipment as possible Cool (e.g., with ice baths, ice bags) Heat Ilness:Heat Exhaustion • Sweating / Dizziness • Headache- Nausea Confusion • Extreme Weakness • Clammy/skin-Flushed • Rapid HR/Shallow breathing • *Body temperature of 100.4–104ºF
Heat Ilness:HEAT STROKE*Shock • SYMPTOMS • LIFE THREATENING • Sweating STOPS- Hot DRY SKIN • Staggering/Collapse • Headache- Nausea Confusion- UNCONS • Delirium * Hallucinations • Body temperature 104ºF or GREATER • Treatment • Call for emergency medical treatment • IV Fluids • Cool with ice packs, ice bags, immersion in ice water
MEASURING HEAT STRESS Sling Psychrometer- the higher the Temp & the higher the humidity:the greater chance of Dehydration HUMIDITY is the DANGER! TREAT- Water/Clothes Half Time Shower Releif Wetting Down the Sideline
Environmental HEAT STRESS • SLING PSYCROMETER • 1. Wet-Bulb Temperature(WBT) Measures Relative Humidity & Wind by measuring the rate of evaporation from a wet wick in the thermometer 2. DRY- BULB Temperature(DBT): Measures the actual Air temperature
WBGT-Index- Assessment of Envir. HEAT STRESS Now---Add the 3. BLACK-BULb Therm. Measures Radiant Heat/Sun Special Formula using the three measures= WB Globe Temp (WBGT) WBT + DBT + BBT= WBGT-Index
WBGT:Relative Heat Index MEASURES 1. Dry- Bulb Temperature- Ordinary AIR + 2. Wet- Bulb Temperature-Temp affected by wind and humidity + 3. Black- Bulb Temperature- Temp affected by radiant heat from the Sun
WBGT index Wet-Bulb Globe Temperature WBGT Meter, handy and portable digital device, measures and displays WBGT index for- prevention of heat stroke during physical exercise or for evaluation of heat stress in working environment.
WORK- HEAT Relationship WorkHEATIncreases Body Temp High Body TempSWEAT- cools the skin through evaporation Must REHYDRATE & REPLACE Body Salts Gatorade is probably the best Ratio
Prevention of Heat Disorders MANDATEWater at SET TIMESAcclimate Gradually (2 Weeks)ADJUST Practice as Needed (P. 362)WBGT PRECAUTIONS80-85oF CAUTION-Alert to Heat Illness Sx85-88oF Limited Activityfor those AcclimatedOver 88oF Activity for all Suspended
Guidelines for Athletes 1. Water/Salt Replacement When thirsty - TOO LATE! Unrestricted /Mandated- Water is Best 2. ACCLIMATIZATION If Well Acclimatated = / Low Salt in Sweat Diet = Best Replacement
ACCLIMATIZATION Get Out 2 WEEKS Before Practice Work in HEAT of Day Work at PRACTICE TIMES Work at PRACTICE INTENSITY …BUT… Be PROGRESSIVLY INTENSE! Progress to Full Uniform (State Laws)
ZONE 1No Problem 80-83oF(Green) ZONE 2 - Caution, 83-89oF Watch Closely(Yellow) ZONE 3 - SHORTS ONLY! > 89oFNO UNIFORMS (RED) FOOTBALL: HEAT Guidelines for Play
ACSMRunning Guidelines • NO RACE 10K+ If WET Bulb is 82.40F • If >800F, Race Before 9AM or After 4PM • Runners MUST Ingest Water • Instruct runners as to Early Signs of Heat Illness • Have medical Staff Available
