Body fat — stored calories

Overweight vs. Obesity• Overweight — exceed desirable body
weight by 10% according to height weight charts.
• Obese — excessive amount of body fat
• Ideal body weight — amount you would weigh with appropriate level of body fat
YOU CAN BE OBESE WITHOUT BEING OVERWEIGHT

WEIGHT CONTROL IS A MAJOR HEALTH PROBLEM IN US
It is estimated that 34 million adults are obese. Excess body fat has been linked to high blood Pressure,heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and certain forms of cancer. For these reasons, weall need to be concerned about our weight.
![Page 9: Body Composition](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042503/56812a8c550346895d8e34b9/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
BODY MASS INDEXBody Mass Index (BMI) is an estimate of total body fat based on your height and weight.
BMI does not account for body composition or fat distribution.
BMI is most valuable for evaluating degree’s of obesity.
BMI may overestimate body fat in athletes or others with a muscular built or large body frame.
BMI in the healthy range does not necessarily mean that you are fit and healthy.
BMI is only one factor in determining a person’s health risk.

According to Height and Weight Charts
This person is overweight.
This person is normal.
![Page 11: Body Composition](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042503/56812a8c550346895d8e34b9/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Formula for calculating BMI
Government Medical Guidelines established Underweight=<18.5Normal Weight= 18.5-24.9
Overweight= 24-29.9 Obesity= BMI of 30 or greater
The BMI is determined by dividing the body weight in kilograms by the height measured to the nearest meter squared.
![Page 12: Body Composition](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042503/56812a8c550346895d8e34b9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Calculate Your BMICalculate your weight in kilograms by dividing your weight in pounds by 2.2: (________) ÷ 2.2 = _______weight in kilograms
Weight in lbsCalculate your height in meters by multiplying your height in inches by
2.54 and divide by 100:___________ x 2.54 ÷ 100 = _______ height in metersheight in inches
Square your height in meters:_______ X ______ = height squareheight in meters height in meters
BMI = Weight in Kilograms = __________Height in Meters 2

HEALTH RISK OF TOO MUCH BODY FAT
• Heart Disease• Diabetes• Stroke• Hypertension (high
BP)• Some Cancers• Sleep Apnea (pauses
in breathing)• Social discrimination
• Kidney disorders• Surgical risk• List resistant to
infections• Problem during
pregnancy• Shortened life
expectancy

FAT IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE……
• Bone density
• Protects vital organs/bones
• Stores energy
• Insulation / warmth
• Production of estrogen (Menstrual cycle)
Too little body fat is a health risk.

Menstruation
Physically active females, particularly athletes who have a low percentage of body fat:
Have increased risk of delayed onset menstruation
Have increased risk of irregular menstrual cycle May have complete cessation of menses
Critical levels: about 17% for onset of menstruation and about 22% to maintain normal cycles.
Levels change from person to person

METHODS TO MEASUREBODY FAT
Under water weighing
skin foldmeasurements
Analysis by electrical impedance
Measurement of body circumference

ELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE
Muscle, tendons and ligaments act as conductors. Fat acts as an insulator. The current will flow through the path of least resistance. Muscle tissue, which contains about 80% water, acts as a good conductor for the current. Fat carries far less water, thus making the current work harder to get around the fat. Thus creating a higher impedance value.

Caloric Cost of Physical Activity
Calories = (# cal. burned/minute/pound) x (weight x minutes)
Example:
Calories = (.079 cal./min./lb.) x (120 lbs. x 30 min.)
calories= 284

Weight Control Myths
• Exercise does not help with weight loss.
• Spot reduction - exercising certain areas will remove fat in that area.
• Increasing activity will increase your appetite.
• Excessive fat is a glandular problem.
