4. Lesson 1: The Basics of Body Composition Body Types
Ectomorph: body type is characterized by a low percentage of body fat, small bone size, and a small amount of muscle mass and size
Mesomorph: body type is characterized by a low-to-medium percentage of body fat, medium-to-large bone size, and a large amount of muscle mass and size
Endomorph: body type is characterized by a high percentage of body fat, large bone size, and a small amount of muscle mass and size

5. Lesson 1: The Basics of Body Composition
Body Mass Index: a way to assess body size in relation to height and weight

6. Lesson 1: The Basics of Body Composition
Body Composition: the relative percentage in your body of fat to lean body mass, including water, bone, and muscle is important to understanding a person’s overall health
Overweight: condition in which a person is heavier than the standard weight range for his or her weight
Obesity: medical condition in which a person’s ration of body fat to lean muscle mass is excessively high

7. Lesson 1: The Basics of Body Composition
Essential fat: minimum amount of body fat necessary for good health 1. insulates your body against the cold 2. cushions your internal organs, protecting them from injury 3. provides you with a valuable source of stored energy Excessive Leanness - may be defined as having a percentage of body fat that is below the acceptable range for your age and gender.

8. Lesson 2: Influences on Your Body Composition
Influences on Body Fat
People who are overweight have a greater number of fat cells. They also have larger fat cells.
Lifestyle Behaviors
“You are what you eat!”
Energy Equation
Calorie Intake: total number of calories you take in from food
Calorie Expenditure: total number of calories you burn or expend

9. Lesson 2: Influences on Your Body Composition
Calorie Expenditure and Metabolism
Metabolism
Process by which the body converts calories from food to energy
Resting Metabolic Rate
Amount of calories you expend for body processes while at rest
Gender
Age: Decrease RMR
Heredity
Eating Habits (Slow or Speed up RMR)
Eliminating Calories (Slows RMR)
Physical Activity and Exercise (Increase RMR)

10. Lesson 2: Influences on Your Body Composition
Weight Control and Physical Activity
FITT Principal of working out
Frequency- how often I work out
Intensity- how hard I work out
Time- how long I work out
Type- what specifically I’m doing while working out

11. Lesson 3: Your Body Composition
Body Circumference: the distance around a body part
Body Circumference tests measure girth
Males test around the waist
Females tests near the hips

12. Lesson 3: Your Body Composition
Skinfold Measures: finger pinch test
Calipers: device used to pinch a fold of skin surrounding adipose tissue
Measured in millimeters and a good measure of body composition because 50 percent of all body fat is between muscles and skin

13. Lesson 4: Maintaining a Healthy Body Composition
Evaluate your needs
Be realistic
Design a personal plan
Become physically active
Keep track of your progress

14. Lesson 4: Maintaining a Healthy Body Composition
Weight Control, Diet, and Exercise
Weight Loss: adjust your eating plan to reduce calorie intake while increasing calorie expenditure through physical activity or exercise
Weight Gain: person should consume calories and maintain his or her physical- activity level (eat complex carbohydrates)
Weight Maintenance: maintain a healthy eating plan with the same amount of calorie intake; also maintain moderate physical activity level

15. Lesson 4: Maintaining a Healthy Body Composition
Benefits of Achieving Your Goals
Increases energy
Increases self-esteem
Reduces stress levels
Reduces risk of developing CVD or other diseases
