Question
Font Paragraph Styles What was the difference between the three RVs used for the calculations? What effect did this difference have on the calculated percent body fat? What percent difference does this make in body fat? 2. 3. For each of your UWW subjects, calculate the total amount (kg) of fat weight and lean body mass based on your underwater weighing results. Show all your calculations. What might separate equations be developed for resistance trained individuals in the conversation from Db to %BF? 4. 5. Describe two other techniques to measure body composition (other than W/H, BMI, skinfolds, & hydrostatic weighing).Explanation / Answer
5.Ans- The two other techniques to measure body composition is bioelectrical impedance and girth measurements.
Bioelectrical Impedance
Bioelectrical impedance is used to estimate body composition where a small, alternating current is flowing between two electrodes through hydrated fat-free body tissues and extracellular water that are compared with fat tissue. This measurement is based on the resistance to the current flow.
Girth Measurements
Girth measurements method is alternative to skin folds. The upper arm (biceps), forearm, abdomen, hips (buttocks), thigh, and calf sites are generally used for girth measurements. It is used for young and old men and women to estimate the body fat and not used for an individual with excessive fat or thin.
