  1. Recommendations for Body Composition, Exercise, and Caloric Intake NFSC 303

  2. Standards • Body Fat • Body Weight • Body Mass Index (BMI) • Waist Circumference

  3. Percent Body Fat = % of total body weight that is comprised of fat • Fat vs. Lean Body Mass(LBM) • General guidelines: • Males < 40 yrs • non-athletes: 10-17% • athletes: 6-17%

  4. Percent Body Fat = % of total body weight that is comprised of fat • Females < 40 yrs • non-athletes: 18-27% • athletes: 10-27% • *OVERFAT = percent body fat greater than 20% for males and 30% for females.

  5. Common Methods of Determining %BF • Hydrostatic Weighing: “Gold Standard” • AKA Hydrodensitometry • Body volume is measured difference in body weight (in air) and body weight (under water)

  6. Skinfolds (Caliper Method) • Measure thickness of subcutaneous fat layer • Many assumption made • Numerous sites may be measured • Plugged into prediction equation to estimate % body fat • Example: Triceps skinfold

  7. ELECTRICAL METHOD - BIA • (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis) • LBM has water and electrolytes which are conductive (fat impedes current) • Alternating current passed through body and resistance to this current is measured = Impedance Analysis • Subjects must be in standard state -well hydrated -avoid caffeine, alcohol, and heavy exercise 12 hours prior to testing

  8. Bioelectrical Impedance

  9. IMAGING TECHNIQUES • Computed Tomography - uses x-rays to create x-sectional image of body • DXA - Duel X-ray Absorptiometry - also uses x-rays • MRI - uses radiowaves to create radiographic image

  10. Body Weight • Hamwi Equations (see protein notes) • More accurate way: estimate appropriate wt. based on body composition • Appropriate Body Weight = Lean body mass weight 1.0 - %body fat “goal”

  11. Example: 205# male currently 22% body fat body fat goal of 18% Step 1: Find weight of lean body mass 205# X .22 = 45 # of fat mass 205 - 45 = 160# of lean body mass Step 2: Convert desired body fat (goal) into a decimal 18% = .18 ( 1 - .18 = .82 for denominator of equation) Step 3: Plug into equation: Appropriate Body Weight = 160# LBM weight = 195 lb. .82

  12. Body Mass Index (BMI) • Body weight (KG) / height2 (meters) • Easier calculation: BMI =Wt# ÷ Ht” ÷ Ht” x 703

  13. Body Mass Index (BMI) • Healthy range: 19-25 • BMI over 25 indicates increased risk for obesity-related health disorders • BMI is NOT appropriate for • kids, adolescents • adults over 65 • pregnant/lactating women • highly muscular individuals

  14. Waist Circumference • High risk for obesity-related disorders is associated with a waist circumference of: >40 inches for men >35 inches for women

  15. Exercise Recommendations Type of Exercise Intensity Duration Frequency

  16. TYPE OF EXERCISE • Cornerstone, or primary exercise • Alternative, or secondary exercise • Strength/resistance exercise • Lifestyle activities

  17. INTENSITY • Ideally, exercise program should include several levels of intensity • Monitoring intensity • RPE = Rate of Perceived Exertion • THR Range = Target Heart Rate Range • Conditioning effect at 50-85% MHR

  18. Calculating THR Range • Determine RHR • Determine MHR = 220 - age • Choose desired intensity level (range) Exercise Intensity Percent of MHR Mild < 50% MHR Moderate 50 - 75% MHR Intense > 75% MHR

  19. Calculate target heart rate (THR) range for desired intensity level • THR = [(MHR - RHR) x intensity] + RHR • Example: 24 year old would like to exercise between 50 and 75 percent of her MHR. The target heart rate range (THR) would be determined as follows:

  20. RHR is measured at 70 beats per minute • MHR = 220 - 24 = 196 beats/min. • 50% of MHR: • THR = [(196 - 70) x .50] + 70 = 133 beats/minute • 75% of MHR: • THR = [(196 - 70) x .75] + 70 = 165 beats/minute • THR Range is 133 to 165 beats per minute.

  21. FREQUENCY & DURATION • Goal? • Decreasing risk for chronic disease • Weight loss • Cardiorespiratory Fitness • Cardio vs. Strength Activities

  22. As you become more fit, your resting heart rate should decline

  23. Beats Per Minute (BPM)

  24. Recommendations for Kcals • Goal? • Kcals expended (average) • Current kcal intake (average) • Current kcals +/- for wt. gain/loss

  25. If decreasing kcals for wt loss, be sure to consider • BMR kcals • Protein needs • CHO needs • What needs to give?

  26. Meeting Goals • It’s easier to put healthy things in than to restrict favorites out! • It’s all about the portions • Environmental control • Internal vs. external cues
