    Study Notes

    Body Composition and Assessment Methods

    • Storage fat is necessary for normal physiological functioning and is found primarily in fat cells, with adipose tissue containing about 83% pure fat, 15% water, and 2% protein.
    • The amount of storage fat depends on factors such as gender, age, heredity, metabolism, diet, and activity level.
    • Reference standards for body composition include the Reference Man and Reference Woman, which provide data on body mass, lean body mass, muscle, bone, total body fat, storage fat, and essential fat.
    • Body composition models for assessment include Skinfolds, Hydrostatic Weighing, Air Displacement Plethysmography, Near-Infrared Interactance, Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis, Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry, Computed Tomography, and Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
    • The two-component model of body composition consists of the fat component and fat-free body (FFB) component, with assumptions about the density of fat and FFB.
    • Research by Brozek, Grande, Anderson, and Keys in 1963 involved dissecting white male cadavers and measuring the density of body fat and fat-free mass.
    • The two-component model equations for estimating body fat percentage include the Siri Equation and the Brozek, Grande, Anderson, and Keys Equation, both based on total body density.
    • Fat-free body density varies with factors such as age, growth, sexual maturation, gender, ethnicity, level of body fatness, physical activity level, and certain diseases.
    • Multicomponent models of body composition eliminate much of the guesswork in two-component model assumptions and are based on measurements of total body water and bone mineral values.
    • Population-specific formulas for converting total body density to body fat percentage are available for different ethnicities, age groups, athletes, and clinical populations.
    • Densitometric methods such as hydrostatic weighing and air displacement plethysmography estimate total body density and are used to measure body volume.
    • Hydrostatic weighing, based on Archimedes' principle of water displacement, provides an estimate of body volume from the volume of water displaced by the body's volume and involves calculations considering factors such as residual volume in the lungs and volume of air in the gastrointestinal tract.

    Hydrostatic Weighing: Key Points

    • Measurements required for calculating body density include dry land weight, underwater weight, water density, residual lung volume, and gastrointestinal tract volume.
    • Two methods for measuring underwater weight are using a chair attached to an autopsy or a spring scale, and using a platform attached to load cells (transducer system).
    • Water density varies with temperature, typically ranging between 34-36 oC, and is measured in g·cc-1 or g·mL-1.
    • Residual lung volume is the air remaining in the lungs after maximal expiration and can be measured using various methods including closed-circuit and open-circuit approaches.
    • Formulas are used to estimate residual lung volume, with gender-specific equations for males and females based on age and height.
    • Sources of error in hydrostatic weighing include pretesting guidelines, equipment calibration, measurements precision, and client factors such as maximal exhalation and motionlessness underwater.
    • The modification of hydrostatic weighing procedures includes measuring at functional residual capacity (FRC), total lung capacity (TLC), and TLC with the head above water level.
    • The effect of measurement error on the determination of body volume, body density, and percentage body fat from hydrostatic weighing can lead to overestimation or underestimation.
    • Disadvantages of underwater weighing include time-consuming procedures, expensive equipment, space and plumbing requirements, client cooperation dependence, and the need for additional equipment to measure residual lung volume.
    • The calculation of body fat percentage involves body density, body volume, relative fat percentage using Siri's equation, fat mass, fat-free mass, and target body weight.
    • A sample calculation for body fat percentage involves sex, age, height, weight, net underwater weight, estimated residual volume, water density, and conversion of units.
    • The sample calculation for body fat percentage includes the calculation of body volume, body density, relative fat percentage, fat mass, and fat-free mass using the given data.
