  2. Anthropometric Assessments • Comparison of Anthropometric measures to normative data. • Measures intended to reflect growth and/or body composition. • Reliable measurement of standardized techniques essential. • Appropriate norms?

  3. C.F.S. - Canada Fitness Survey 1981Canadian Fitness and Lifestyle Research Institute • The 1981 Canada Fitness Survey was the first nationally representative study of the physical recreation habits, physical fitness, and health status of an entire population. • More than 23,000 Canadians aged 7 and older participated in this historic survey, providing baseline data representing all Canadians except the 3% not living in households. • The anthropometric and performance data was then used as the normative data for the Canadian Standardized Test of Fitness

  4. C.S.T.F. • Canadian Standardized Test of Fitness • Performance Tests • Step test, grip strength, push ups, sit ups, sit and reach. • Anthropometric Assessment consisted of: • % body Fat determined by the Durnin & Womersley equations based upon the sum of 4 skinfolds (Triceps, Subscapular, Biceps, and Iliac Crest)

  5. Durnin & Womersley (1974) • Density = a (log10Sum 4 SF) + c • Sum of Triceps, Subscapular, Biceps, and Iliac Crest Skinfolds • a & c dependent upon age and gender specific equations • British sample measured on the left side of the body • % Fat = (4.95/Density)-4.5) x 100 • Problems encountered by C.S.T.F. • Overpredicts by 3 - 5% Fat • Upper body sites

  6. C.S.T.F. • Canadian Standardized Test of Fitness • Revised Anthropometric Assessment included: • Body Mass Index • Sum 5 Skinfolds • Sum Trunk Skinfolds • Waist to hip girth ratio

  7. C.P.A.F.L.A.The Canadian Physical Activity, Fitness & Lifestyle Approach • Modification of the C.S.T.F. • Change in style – Rather than using Health Risk Zones, Health Benefit Zones were identified • Anthropometric Assessment includes: • Body Mass Index (BMI) • Sum of Five Skinfolds (mm) (SO5S) • Waist Girth (cm) (WG) • Sum of Two Trunk Skinfolds (mm) (SO2S) • C.P.A.F.L.A. taught in Kin 343 • Why are some of the techniques for skinfolds in Kin 303 and Kin 343 different?

  8. Health Benefit Zones By Age and Gender For Body Weight, Adiposity and Fat Distribution Measurements

  9. Determination of Health Benefit Zones – Scoring of Body Composition Assessments

  10. Determination of Health Benefit Zones – Corresponding Health Benefit Zones for Healthy Body Composition

  11. CSEP-PATH 2013Physical Activity Training for Health Skinfolds removed Waist Girth definition changed

  12. Advanced O-SCALE System for individual physique assessment

  13. Developed to fill a need • % body fat predictions have unacceptably high S.E.E.’s • Individual assessments vs group validation • Designed with the expectation of becoming obsolete very soon

  14. Components • Anthropometric measures • Geometric scaling • General appraisal of physique • Detailed appraisal

  15. STANINE chosen for O-SCALE system based upon number of categories and equal width of categories

  16. General description of physique • Adiposity rating based on skinfolds • Proportional weight rating • Stanine scores • equal width of categories • nine categories seemed appropriate

  17. Adiposity Rating • Proportional Sum of six skinfolds • Sum 6 SF * (170.18/Ht) • Comparison to age and sex specific norms via stanine scale

  18. Females 23 year old female Prop. Sum of 6 skinfolds = 79.4 Adiposity (A) rating = 3

  19. Proportional Weight Rating • Proportional Weight • WT * (170.18/HT)3 • Comparison to age and sex specific norms via stanine scale

  20. Females

  21. A & W Ratings • A = 7, W = 7, - Balanced physique • A = 7, W = 5, - Adiposity dominant • A = 5, W = 7, - Weight dominant

  22. Detailed Description of Physique • Listing of all measures with 4th, 50th & 95th percentiles • Proportionality profiles • z-values plotted vs similarly scaled norm values

  23. MALE

  24. GAMMA

  25. THETA

  26. THETA

  27. KIN-Scale Differences from O-SCALE system • Normative Database: • Proportional Values rather than z-values: • Skinfold-adjusted Forearm Girth: • Scaling Height is 170cm rather than 170.18cm: • Detailed Description of Physique does not require Computer Software: • C.P.A.F.L.A. Indices shown as percentile charts based upon KIN-Scale norms

  28. Fall 2012 students
