BODY MASS INDEX

• Abbreviated as BMI
• Measures thinness or fatness of your body.

FORMULA​:

W EIGHT (Kg)
BMI = HEIGHT (m2 )

EXAMPLE​:
Given​:
Height = 1.20 m
Weight= 30 kg

30 kg 30 kg
BMI = 1.20 m2 = 1.44 m

BMI =​ 20.83​ → Normal

Categories of BMI:
Chronic Energy Deficient (CED)​ → ​<18.5
Normal ​→ ​18.5-24.9
Overweight ​→ 25.0-29.9
Obese ​→ 30.0
DETERMINING ONE’S PERCENT BODY FAT BASED ON THE NOMOGRAM

➢ Measure one’s weight in pounds ( for Men ), hip circumference in inches for 9 (women )
➢ Measure the circumference of lower abdominal area in inches (for Men ), height in inches
(for Women )
➢ To obtain one’s percent fat, use ruler and connect one’s weight and the circumference of
the lower abdominal area (for Men ), hip grip and height (for Women).

• Formula to compute the following

• CFW = ​CBW x PBF (based on the Nomogram)


• CLW = ​CBW – CFW
• TPBF = ​1.0(constant) – TPF
• ETW = ​CLW / TPBF

CFW-​Current Fat Weight


CLW- ​Current Lean Weight
PBF- ​Percent Body Fat
TPF- ​Target Percent Fat (based on the table Acceptable Percent Body Fat)
TPBF-​Target Percentage Body Fat ETW- Estimated Target Weight

■ ​FLEXIBILITY -​ ​ability of the muscles and joints to go through the full range of motion.

​ ending of body segment


– ​Flexion- b
– ​Extension- ​straightening a body segment
– ​Abduction- m ​ oving a limb away from the body
– ​Adduction- m ​ oving a limb toward the body

■ ​BODY FLEXIBILITY​ is achieved through stretching

■ TYPES OF STRETCHING
– Passive Assisted
-involves relaxing of a specific body part and just allowing the partner to move the
limb of the stretcher to gain a new range of movement.
– Static Stretching
- involves slow stretching of a segment of the body to the farthest point and holding
that position for a certain period of time.
– Ballistic Stretching
- involves a sudden bouncing or jerking rhythmic movement of a specific part of the
body.
– Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF)
- involves the hold- relax approach to stretching.

■ ​MUSCULAR STRENGTH- ​group of muscle to exert maximal effort against a resistance.

Major Categories of Strength Training


– Static Strength Training-muscles that do not change in length during contraction.
– Dynamic Strength Training- muscles that change in length during exercise.
CONTRACTION- i​ s the activation of tension-generating sites within muscles fibers . In
physiology, ​muscle contraction ​does not necessarily mean muscles shortening because
muscle tension can be produced without changes in muscle length, such as when holding a
heavy book or a dumbbell at the same position.

■​ ISOTONIC CONTRACTION​- type of contraction that involves alternate


shortening(concentric) and lengthening (eccentric) of muscles.

■​ ISOKINETIC CONTRACTION-​ is similar to isotonic contraction but the muscles are


exposed to fixed machines with varying degrees of resistance.

​AGILITY- ​ability of the individual to quickly shift or change direction of the body from one
point to another.

■ ​BALANCE- ​ability of the individual to maintain equilibrium in relation to change in body


position.

■ ​COORDINATION- ​harmonious relationship between the skeletal muscles and nerves in


one aspect of movement.

■ ​POWER- ​ability to perform one explosive muscular effort in a short period of time.

■ ​SPEED- ​ability to perform a task or move from one point to another in the shortest
possible time
