Today is the final day to check our progress from the fall semester. We will be doing our basic body composition tests.
Items that will be tested
-BMI = Body Mass Index - a comonly used measurement with many flaws
-Used to estimate current and future health
-Weight divided by Height
-Recomended Range = 18-25
-Fat % = the percentage of total body weight that is fat
-Accuratly estimates current and future health
- Recomended range for teens - males 8-20% -females 22-33%
-Fat Free Mass = comprised of muscle, bone, tissue, water and all other fat free mass in the body. This is a good way to measure muscle growth. Generally speaking, males carry more muscle than females.
-TBW = Total Body Water - reflects the amount of water in the body. Girls should have approximatly 50-60% of their overall mass be water. Males should have 60-70%
