1. The ratio of fat to lean body tissue. Body Composition

2. Typical Body Composition

3. ESSENTIAL FAT The minimum amount of fat needed to meet the basic metabolic needs of the body MEN: no < 5% WOMEN: no < 12% STORAGE FAT Excess fat in the body that is used to meet energy demands IDEAL MEN: no > than 22 to 25% body fat WOMEN: No > than 32 to 35% body fat

4. Measuring Body Composition BMI PREDICTION TOOL ONLY BIA (Bioelectrical Impedence Analysis) No eating within 4 hours No exercise within 12 hours No alcohol within 48 hours No diuretics within 7 days Urinate 30 minutes prior Skin – Fold Testing Women (18-26) Right tricep; right thigh, and abdomen Men (18-26) Right tricep, chest, abdomen Hydrostatic Weighing/ Bod Pod

5. BOYS GIRLS BMI (Body Mass Index) –PREDICTION TOOL ONLY –Weight (lb.) / Height 2 (in) x 703

6. Measuring Body Composition BMI PREDICTION TOOL ONLY BIA (Bioelectrical Impedence Analysis) No eating within 4 hours No exercise within 12 hours No alcohol within 48 hours No diuretics within 7 days Urinate 30 minutes prior Skin – Fold Testing Women (18-26) Right tricep; right thigh, and abdomen Men (18-26) Right tricep, chest, abdomen Hydrostatic Weighing/ Bod Pod

7. Obesity – a continuing epidemic One obese parent = child is 50% more likely to be obese Two obese parents = child is 90% more likely to be obese No obese parents = child is 80% more likely to maintain a healthy body weight Obesity is 30% genetic and 70% environmental.

8. Take note… Weight and shape concerns are very common among adolescents and can sometimes lead to eating disorders Even students who are comfortable with their weight and shape struggle with other issues of appearance The best way to lose weight or maintain your weight is through careful eating and exercise Criticism and teasing about weight and shape––is harmful

9. Healthy Weight Management

10. Weight Management Requires a healthy balance…

11. Calories In… Teen Girls 14-18 Girls getting about one hour per day of activity, need 2,000 daily calories. Those who are less active need slightly fewer calories. Teen Boys 14-18 Depending on their size and activity levels, most teen boys need between 2,200 and 2,400 calories per day. Reduce the number on the low end of the range by 100 to 200 calories for teen boys who are sedentary. Active Teens 14-18 Athletes need additional calories to use as fuel for power and endurance. Active teen girls should eat between 2,200 to 3,000 calories per day, while boys need 3,000 to 4,000 calories. What does 2000 calories look like?

12. Where do all the calories come from? Beverages…..

13. Where do all the calories come from?

14. Calories Out… Basal Metabolism (BMR) Refers to the energy required by the body for the functioning of the vital organs, including the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, nervous system, muscles and skin. Basal metabolism does not include energy required by the digestive system and is measured after fasting for at least 12 hours. Between 50 percent and 70 percent of the total energy expended per day is utilized for the functioning of the vital organs.

15. Factors Impacting BMR Age- BMR decreases at a rate of 2% per decade Sex- Males have a higher BMR than females do to higher amounts of muscle mass Height & Weight- the more body mass the more cells requiring energy Muscle mass- muscle cells utilize more energy Pituitary/Thyroid Function- hormones produced by the thyroid can speed and slow metabolism

16. Calories Out… Active Metabolic Rate (AMR) The number of calories you burn in a day Includes your BMR Includes ALL additional daily activities (including sleep and Exercise)

17. Factors Impacting AMR BMR Activity Level- increases the AMR Frequency of activity Intensity of activity Time performing the activity Type of activity (cardio, weight training, yoga)

18. Sleep and Metabolism What Happens to the Body When There is a Lack of Sleep? When your body does not receive enough sleep, the result is an increased appetite. Not enough sleep causes difficulty in metabolizing carbohydrates. This leads to high blood sugar levels, which then causes an increase in insulin. The increase in insulin is a signal to the body to store unused energy as fat. People who continue to have sleep deprivation have increased chances of diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and memory loss. Basically, the body ages faster.

19. Cortisol and Metabolism Positive and Negative Effects Cortisol is a hormone released in response to stress Short-term effects of higher levels of cortisol are positive, like heightened mental functions, a burst of energy and lowered pain sensitivity. The effects of prolonged secretion of cortisol, however, include an increase in abdominal fat, impaired mental function, an increase in blood pressure and a decrease in muscle tissue.
