WITH CORRECT/ACCURATE ANSWERS
Body fat levels of 24% or higher in males or 35% or higher in
females indicate: - CORRECT ANSWERS- obesity
Ways to determine body fat: - CORRECT ANSWERS- underwater
weighing, bioelectrical impedance. DEXA dual energy x-ray
absoptiometry, anthroprometrics, and home scales that uses
electrodes
Underwater weighing: - CORRECT ANSWERS- a very accurate tool
in which one is weighed on a scale and then under water. The
difference between the two would measure body fat and lean
muscle
Bioelectrical impedance: - CORRECT ANSWERS- is another way to
measure body fat in which an instrument is connected to the body
that sends an electric current to it; it assesses your body
composition, the measurement of body fat in relation to lean body
mass
DEXA (dual energy x-ray absorptiometry): - CORRECT ANSWERS-
it is the best way to determine body fat and bone mass in which
, in instrument sends out small amounts of radiation to determine
fat, lean tissue, and bone
Skin fold measures using a calipar: - CORRECT ANSWERS-
measures fat layers under the skin to determine body fat
