Question

1.) Skinfolds and circumference measurements may be used to monitor changes in your client's anthropometric profile over time.

True or False

2.) The skinfold method is recommended for monitoring body composition changes in obese clients.  

True or False

3.) Athletes who have a large amount of muscle hypertrophy are likely to have a density of the fat-free body (FFB_d) greater than the typical population-specific value.

True or False

4.) When monitoring body composition changes over time, multicomponent models offer greater accuracy than two-component models such as skinfolds and BIA.  

True or False

Answer 1

1. True, skinfold is measured to estimate the fat and the distribution of subcutaneous adipose tissues and circumference is to assess the size and shape of the human body.

2 True, skin fold method can be recommended for monitoring the body composition changes in obese client's.

3.true.athletes have greater dat free body when compared to typical population value.

4.True, multicomponent model are only considered to be sufficiently accurate to monitor the body composition ( to distinguish fat and fat free masses)
