HBIO 202 LAB FINAL EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS VERIFIED
What is fat-free mass (FFM)?
consists of non-fat body mass and consists of protein (muscle), water, and minerals
(bone).
What is Fat Mass (FM)?
two categories: essential fat and storage fat
How to find fat-free mass
total body weight - fat mass
How to find fat mass
total body weight x % fat
Storage Fat
includes fatty tissue that surrounds and protects the internal organs and the
subcutaneous fat located just beneath the skin's surface
Essential Fat
required for normal physiologic functioning and includes fat incorporated into the organs
and tissues
Essential Body Fat for males
3%
Essential Body Fat for Females
12%
Methods that measure body composition/classification
, Body Mass Index, Waist to Hip Ratio, Height/Weight Table
Body Mass Index (BMI)
- X = Wt (kg) / Ht (m2)
- Muscular athlete can incorrectly be classified obese
Waist to Hip Ratio (WHR)
•X = Waist (in.) / Hip (in.)
•Assesses body fat pattern
•Pear: males < 0.95, females < 0.8
•Apple: males > 0.95, females > 0.8
Height/Weight Table
•1st measure frame size, height and weight
•Look up recommended weight range based on height and frame size
Ideal Body Weight Equation
X = FFM / 1.0 - ideal %fat
Skinfold measurement placements for men
chest, abdomen, thigh
Skinfold measurement placements for women
triceps, thigh, suprailiac
Apple Shape fat location
more weight above the waist
Pear Shape fat location
more weight below the waist
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
