MEASURING FITNESS
18
In order to measure, we must define…
19
MEASURING FITNESS Encarta Definition: The ability of the human body to function with vigor and alertness, without undue fatigue, and with ample energy to engage in leisure activities, and to meet physical stresses.
20
MEASURING FITNESS CDC: Set of attributes a person has in regards to a person’s ability to perform physical activities that require aerobic fitness, endurance, strength, or flexibility and is determined by a combination of regular activity and genetically inherited ability.
21
MEASURING FITNESS
22
Fitness parameters Cardio-respiratory endurance Muscular Strength Muscular endurance Flexibility Body Composition
23
MEASURING FITNESS Components of fitness: Limit Strength, Starting Strength, Explosive Strength, Agility, Flexibility, Static Balance, Dynamic Balance, Muscular Endurance, Speed Endurance, Cardio-respiratory endurance, Muscle Mass, Percent Body Fat, Freedom from Stress, Freedom from Disease or Injury, Preventive Lifestyle

MEASURING FITNESS
25
Benefits Decreased risk of hypertension, colon cancer and diabetes Increased well being Decreased risk of coronary artery disease Increased immunity Decreased incidence of depression
26
BODY COMPOSITION Weight – BMI – Body Mass Index Wt in lbs Ht” X Ht” X 703 = BMI220 lbs 75” X 75” X 703 = 27.5 Wt in kg Ht M X Ht M = BMI 99.79 kg 1.905M X 1.905M = 27.5

BODY COMPOSITION
28
CDC Definitions Underweight – less than 18.5 Recommended – 18.6 – 24.9 Overweight – 25.0 – 29.9 Obese – 30 or greater 64.5% of adults in U.S. are overweight
29
BODY COMPOSITION Advantages Easy and inexpensive Increased BMI correlates with increased risk of heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, some cancers and osteoarthritis
30
BODY COMPOSITION Disadvantages BMI does not distinguish fat from muscle
31
BODY COMPOSITION
34
Waist measurements Fat around waist – more likely to develop health problems than if around hips and thighs. This is true even if BMI is normal. Women with waist more than 35 inches Men with waist more than 40 inches
35
BODY COMPOSITION Body fat percentage May be a better measure of risk American Council of Exercise Guidelines women men Essential fat 10-12% 2-4% Athletes 14-20% 6-13% Fitness 21-24% 14-17% Acceptable 25-31% 18-25% Obese 32% 26%
36
BODY COMPOSITION
37
Measuring body fat Skin fold: accuracy varies greatly based on user’s abilities BIA: Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis accuracy 8% plus or minus Cadaver analysis: The only direct method, but impractical HW: Hydrostatic Weighing: gold standard, not easy, expensive DXA: Dual energy xray absorpiometry, low dose radiation exposure, trained tech, expensive equipment BODPOD: new, expensive technology

BODY COMPOSITION Do you feel lost?
