Measuring Body Composition • Body Composition • Laboratory Hydrostatic Weighing Using Body Density • Field Methods Skinfolds Body Mass Index Distribution of Body Fat Waist/Hip Girth Ratio > 1.00 for males > risk > 0.80 for females > risk Waist Girth > 102 cm (40 in) for males > risk > 88 cm (35 in) for females > risk
What is your BMI? Use Table 11-16 on pages 242 - 243
Calculation of Lean Weight and Fat Weight • 1) Determine total body weight (TBW) • 2) Determine percent fat • 3) Fat weight = TBW * percent fat • 4) Lean Weight (LW) = TBW - FW
Calculation of Target Weight • Calculation of Target Weight 1) Determine your lean weight (TBW - FW) 2) Determine your target percent fat (TPF) 3) Target weight = LW / (1 - TPF/100) • This method assumes: 1) Your target percent fat is less than your current percent fat 2) Your goal is to lose fat weight
Muscular Strength and Endurance • SpecificityDetermined with concurrent validity (i.e., PPM) • PowerThe time rate of doing work • Muscular enduranceRepetitive performance • Relative enduranceRelative to maximum performance • Absolute enduranceAt a fixed resistance
Measuring Muscular Strength and Endurance • Muscular Strength and Endurance • LaboratoryComputerized Dynamometers Back Extension Strength Test • Field methodsTraditional Weight Lifting Tests Body Resistance (i.e., pull-ups, sit-ups, etc.) 1 Repetition Max 10 Repetition Max Trial-and-error estimation
Measuring Flexibility • Flexibility is very joint specific • LaboratoryGoniometry Flexometer Visual estimation Radiography Photography Linear measurements Trigonometry • Field methodsTrunk Flexion (Sit-and-reach) Trunk Extension

Aging is related to . . . • decreased sensations of taste, smell, vision, and hearing, • decreased mental abilities, • decreased organ function, • decreased bone mineral content, and • decreased physical fitness. All of these factors lead to a decreased quality of life, health-related fitness, and functional fitness.

Measuring Physical Activity • Is important because physical activity is related to physical fitness • Physical activity is related to quality of life and functional capacity • Physical inactivity is related to development of a variety of diseases

Measuring Physical Activity • Direct measurement include: Observation Calorimetry Step counters Motion sensors • Field methods include: Self-report Diaries
A five-level single-responseassessment of physical activity These 3 groups do NOT meet the Surgeon General’s guidelines for sufficient physical activity for a health benefit
A five-level single-responseassessment of physical activity These 2 groups DO meet the Surgeon General’s guidelines for sufficient physical activity for a health benefit
CRT Reliability How could you determine the criterion-referenced reliability of the 5-level single response item? 1) Administer the question on TWO occasions. 2) Determine if the respondent meets or fails to meet the Surgeon General’s guidelines on each occasion. 3) Develop a 2X2 table as illustrated in chapter 7.
