<strong>and</strong> body composition<br />
Student book<br />
p ?<br />
For this practical activity you will need to make a comparison between body weight <strong>and</strong><br />
body composition within your group. The body composition may be assessed through<br />
bioelectrical impedance or skin-fold calliper measurements, depending on the equipment<br />
available within your school or college.<br />
You may want to use some of the results <strong>for</strong> your assessment.<br />
Student name Body weight (kg) Body fat (%) or<br />
Body fat (mm)<br />
Using your results, produce a scatter graph that plots body weight against percentage body<br />
fat.<br />
1 Is there any distinctive profile in relation to your scatter graph, <strong>for</strong> example, does it<br />
have a positive relationship?<br />
2 Based on the raw data, discuss the differences <strong>and</strong> similarities in respect of body<br />
weight <strong>and</strong> body fat.<br />
3 Discuss the possible reasons <strong>for</strong> your results.<br />
4 Discuss the disadvantages of using the skin-fold calliper method <strong>for</strong> assessing body<br />
composition.<br />
