EXPLORING WEIGHT CONTROL: DETERMINING PERCENTAGE OF BODY FAT
A more important consideration in goal setting for a better-looking and healthier body involves not body weight but the amount of adipose tissue you possess. Weight control is simply another name for fat control, and measurement of body fat is essential in setting goals for your body.
The average percentage of body fat is approximately 22 to 25 percent for females and 15 to 18 percent for males. Individuals are considered obese if they possess more than 25 percent (men) or 30 percent (women) body fat.
Since about half of all body fat lies just beneath the skin, it is possible to pinch certain body parts, measure the thickness of two layers of skin and the connected fat, and estimate the total percentage of fat on the body.
You can measure the thickness of four skinfold sites with a caliper. Considerable practice is needed, however, before accurate measurements can be taken.
There are other methods of estimating percentage of body fat. Electrical impedance is a quick method. Electrodes are attached to the wrist and ankle of the reclining subject. In less than two minutes, a printout provides your percentage of body fat, total amount of fat weight, ideal percent of fat, and ideal body weight. It is necessary to follow certain nutritional and exercise rules for 24 hours before the test. Hydrostatic weighing is probably the most accurate method of estimating body fat. In the test the subject sits on a scale in a tank of water, exhales as completely as possible, and is submerged for approximately 10 seconds while weight is recorded. The proportions of lean body mass and fat mass are determined from calculations that involve weight underwater, weight out of water, and known densities of lean and fatty tissues.
