A health-related component of physical fitness that relates to the relative amounts of muscle, fat, bone and other vital parts of the body.
relationship between fat and lean tissue in body.
The percentage of fat tissue and lean tissue in the body.
The whole of the body measured by the percentage of weight ratio of one part to another (body fat to lean muscle mass, ect.).
Amount of fat vs. lean muscle tissue in the human body.
percentages of muscle, fat, bone and other tissue that make up the body.
the percentage of body fat to lean body mass.
Has two components: the amount of fat mass (weight) and the amount of fat-free mass (muscle, bone, skin and organs) in the body.
The proportion of body fat to fat free mass. Body fat the percentage of your body mass that is not composed of lean muscle, water, bones or vital organs.
The percentage of your bodyweight composed of fat compared to lean body mass.
is the makeup of your body in terms of lean mass (muscle, bone, vital tissue and organs) and fat mass. Endurance activities can help you decrease your fat mass by burning calories and strength-building activities can help you build your muscle mass.
The division of soft tissue into fat and lean tissue, based on the patient's R-value. Body composition is sometimes referred to as tissue quantitation.
The proportions of fat, muscle, and bone making up in the body. Usually expressed as percent of body fat and percent of lean body mass.
A method of measuring the ratio of body fat to muscle mass. This analysis is used to develop nutrition and exercise programs suited to individual needs.
The breakdown of your body make-up, i.e. fat, lean muscle, bone and water content.
Represents the amounts of all three structural components of the body: Muscle, bone and fat.
Usually relating to the percent of the body comprised of lean tissue (bone, muscle, water, etc.) or fat tissue; 17% or less body fat is recommended for men; 24% or less body fat is recommended for women
the relative proportions of lean body mass (structural and functional elements in cells, body water, muscle, bone, heart, liver, kidneys, etc.) to body fat (essential and storage) mass.
The amount of fat tissue which is present in the body.
percent body fat plus lean body weight.
the relative proportions of fat, muscle and bone making up a given human. Body composition can be measured experimentally using several techniques such as underwater weighing, DEXA and CT scan. The total percentage of body fat in a lean individual is about 20%. Obesity results from increased fat mass so that the percent body fat is typically higher than 30%.
fat, lean muscle tissue, organs and blood in the human body; in fitness, the focus is on fat percentage and lean muscle weight
Refers to the ratio of an individual's percentage of fatty mass to fat free tissue mass (I.E. muscle, organs, etc.).
The proportion of fat tissue to lean tissue in the body.
In physical fitness, body composition is used to describe the percentages of fat, bone and muscle in human bodies. The percentages of fat (body fat percentage) is of most interest because it can be very helpful in judging health in addition to body weight.
