  1. C H A P T E R 14 BODY WEIGHT, BODY COMPOSITION, AND SPORT

  2. w Examine the relationship of relative leanness and fatness to performance in sport. (continued) Learning Objectives w Differentiate among body build, body size, and body composition. w Find out what tissues of the body constitute fat-free mass. w Discover how densitometry and several field techniques are used to assess body composition.

  3. Learning Objectives w Find out what guidelines best determine an athlete's goal weight. w Learn why athletes should avoid crash dieting or fixating on a weight that is too low. w Find out how much weight an overweight athlete can lose per week to maximize fat loss and minimize fat-free mass loss.

  4. Body build is the form or structure of the body. w Muscularity (mesomorphy) w Linearity (ectomorphy) w Fatness (endomorphy) Body composition refers to the proportional make-up of the body. Body Build, Size, and Composition Body sizeis determined by height and weight.

  5. MODELS OF BODY COMPOSITION

  6. Fat-Free Mass Versus Lean Body Mass Fat-free mass is composed of all of the body's nonfat tissue including bone, muscle, organs, and connective tissue. Lean body mass includes all fat-free mass along with essential fat. Lean body mass is difficult to measure so the fat mass/fat-free mass model is most often used.

  7. Body Composition Body composition is a better indicator of fitness than body size and weight. Being over-fat (not necessarily overweight) has a negative impact on athletic performance. Standard height-weight tables do not provide accurate estimates of what an athlete should weigh because they do not take into account the composition of the weight. An athlete can be overweight according to these tables yet have very little body fat.

  8. Assessing Body Composition w Densitometry (hydrostatic weighing) w Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry w Air plethysmography w Skinfold fat thickness w Bioelectric impedance

  9. Densitometry w Body density = Body mass Body volume w Body mass: measured on a regular scale • Body volume: measured using hydrostatic (underwater) weighing accounting for water density and air trapped in lungs • Archimedes’ principle: a body immersed in water is buoyed up with a force equal to the weight of the water displaced • % body fat = (495 ÷ body density) – 450 • Density of water = 1.00 g/ml; muscle = 1.10 g/ml; fat = 0.901 g/ml

  10. Densitometry Inaccuracies in densitometry are due to variation in the density of the fat-free mass from one individual to another. Age, sex, and race affect the density of fat-free mass.

DT = density of the tissue; % = percent contribution of this tissue to the total-fat-free mass; DP = proportional density of the tissue (DT · %); DFFM = density of the fat-free mass, which is the sum of the proportional densities.

  16. Maximizing fat-free mass w Desirable for strength, power, and muscular endurance w Undesirable for aerobic endurance or jumping sports if result is a gain in weight Minimizing relative body fat w Desirable, especially in sports in which the body weight is moved through space w Improves speed, endurance, balance, agility, and jumping ability Body Composition and Performance

  17. Subject’s level of fatness (% body fat) Performance test Low Moderate High (<10%) (10-15%) (>15%) 75-yd dash (s) 9.8 10.1 10.7 220-yd dash (s) 29.3 31.6 35.0 Standing long jumpa (ft) 23.8 22.7 20.2 Sit-ups in 2 min 43.4 41.6 36.2 Note. The men in this study were classified into three levels of fatness: low, moderate, and high. aSum of three trials. The Effect of Relative Body Fat on Selected Performance Tests in Young Men

  18. RELATIVE BODY FAT IN ELITE TRACK AND FIELD ATHLETES

  19. Risks With Severe Weight Loss w Dehydration w Chronic fatigue w Disordered eating and eating disorders Female Athlete Triad w Menstrual dysfunction w Bone mineral disorders

  20. Appropriate Weight Guidelines w Maximize performance within the specific sport w Are based on body composition w Emphasize relative body fat rather than total body mass w Use a range of relative fat values that are considered acceptable for the athlete’s age, sex, and sport/event
