  18. BODY FAT MEASURED BY % • AMOUNT OF TISSUE THAT IS FAT • CAN ALSO BE MEASURED IN POUNDS • 3500 CALORIES EQUALS ONE POUND OF FAT • EXTRA CALORIES NOT USED DURING THE DAY ARE STORED AS FAT

  19. FAT % THE PERCENTAGE OF TOTAL BODY WEIGHT THAT IS FAT. CLASSIFICATIONMALESFEMALES UNDERFAT < 5% < 10% ESSENTIAL FAT > 5% > 10% BORDERLINE/ATHLETES 6 - 13% 11 - 16% HEALTHYZONE 14 - 25 % 17 - 32% HEALTH RISK ZONE > 26% > 33%

  20. BMI • IS USED TO DETERMINE HEALTH RISKS IN THE GENERAL POPULATION • DOES NOT INDICATE TRUE BODY FAT PERCENTAGE • DOES NOT TAKE INTO ACCOUNT MUSCLE MASS OR BONE STRUCTURE

  21. BMI - BODY MASS INDEX IS A HEIGHT TO WEIGHT RATIO (WEIGHT DIVIDED BY HEIGHT SQUARED TIMES 703) CLASSIFICATIONBMI UNDERWEIGHT ------------------- < 18.5 NORMAL ------------------- 18.5 - 25.9 OVERWEIGHT ------------------- 25 - 30 HEALTH RISK ------------------- > 30

  22. BY THE NUMBERS BMR- BASAL METABOLIC RATE • REFERS TO THE NUMBER OF CALORIES BURNED WHEN TOTALLY INACTIVE. • KEY POINT - WHEN MUSCLES BECOME LARGER, BMR GOES UP AND BODY FAT GOES DOWN.

  23. IMPEDENCE • REFLECTS THE BODY’S INHERENT RESISTANCE TO AN ELECTRICAL CURRENT. • MUSCLE ACTS AS A CONDUCTOR OF THE ELECTRICAL CURRENT • FAT ACTS AS A RESISTOR.

  24. TBW - TOTAL BODY WATER • THE AMOUNT OF WATER EXPRESSED IN POUNDS RETAINED IN THE BODY. • COMPRISES BETWEEN 50% - 70% OF TOTAL BODY WEIGHT.
