The First Lady's Let's Move! campaign is working with five major media companies and 18 cooking websites to identify over 3,000 recipes for the MyPlate recipe database on Pinterest. The USDA is also partnering to ensure the recipes meet dietary guidelines for limited added sugar, saturated fat and sodium. The First Lady is celebrating the third anniversary of her Let's Move! initiative to combat childhood obesity, as about a third of kids and teens are overweight or obese, putting them at greater risk for diseases like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
A lecture on exersize physiology given to the Kaiser Orthopedic Sports Medicine Program in Orange County during 2015. Many of the slides were given to me by Dr. Jeff Lai at Long Beach memorial, and were again used by the incoming fellow to reproduce the same lecture for the incoming fellows. This was an open source lecture in the primary care sports medicine fellowship. I do not take any credit for its creation, only its delivery at the time mentioned.
Aerobic means "with oxygen," and anaerobic means "without oxygen." Anaerobic exercise is the type where you get out of breath in just a few moments, like when you lift weights for improving strength, when you sprint, or when you climb a long flight of stairs.

This presentation will throw light on body composition
It will increase your knowledge of assessment & classification of it
It gives focus on fat mass, fat free mass & lean body mass
it will give information about detailed information of body composition analysis
it even gives basic information about body composition which we can do without any expensive materiel that is anthropometry measurement: skin fold measurement, BMI, girth measurement, waist-hip ratio.
it also inform us about the amount of storge fat and essential fat present at each part of body by the instrument named BIOELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE
This ppt contains all the details about what is obesity, etiology, & mainly focuses on various methods of assessment of obesity from field tests to lab tests.
The 10 Best Ways to Measure Your Body Fat Percentage.pdfWasim Ahmad
It can be frustrating to step on the scale and see no change.
While it’s natural to want objective feedback on your progress, body weight shouldn’t be your main focus.
Some “overweight” people are healthy, while others with “normal weight” are unhealthy.
However, your body fat percentage tells you what your weight is comprised of.
Specifically, it tells you the percent of your total body weight that is fat. The lower your body fat percentage, the higher percentage of lean muscle mass you have on your frame
This article explains the research outcome that indicates the possibilities of fat percentage of Obesity range regardless of Body mass index and body frames.

3. A) BODY COMPOSITION
-THE FAT & NON-FAT COMPONENTS OF THE HUMAN BODY
-IMPORTANT IN ASSESSING RECOMMENDED BODY WEIGHT
HUMAN BODY CONSISTS OF FAT & NONFAT COMPONENTS
B) PERCENT BODY FAT (FAT COMPONENT):
-PROPORTIONAL AMOUNT OF FAT IN THE BODY BASED ON THE PERSON’S
TOTAL WEIGHT. ALSO CALLED FAT MASS.
C) LEAN BODY MASS (NON-FAT COMPONENT):
-BODY WEIGHT WITHOUT FAT MASS
4. 2) TOTAL FAT IN THE HUMAN BODY IS CLASSIFIED INTO
WHAT 2 TYPES?
5. A) ESSENTIAL FAT:
-NEEDED FOR NORMAL PHYSIOLGICAL FUNCTION
-FOUND WITHIN TISSUES SUCH AS MUSCLES, NERVE CELLS, BONE MARROW, INTESTINES, HEART,
LIVER, LUNGS
3) WHAT % OF THE TOTAL WEIGHT IN MEN/WOMEN DOES ESSENTIAL FAT CONSTITUTE?
-3% OF TOTAL WEIGHT IN MEN & 12% FOR WOMEN
-WHY IS IT HIGHER IN WOMEN?
-% INCLUDES SEX-SPECIFIC FAT (FAT FOUND IN BREAST TISSUE)
B) STORAGE FAT:
-FAT STORED IN ADIPOSE TISSUE, MOSTLY JUST BENEATH THE SKIN & AROUND MAJOR ORGANS
4) WHAT 3 FUNCTIONS DOES STORAGE FAT SERVE?
1) AS AN INSULATOR TO RETAIN BODY HEAT
2) AS ENERGY SUBSTRATE FOR METABOLISM
3) AS PADDING AGAINST PHYSICAL TRAUMA TO THE BODY
5) WHERE DO MEN & WOMEN TEND TO STORE STORAGE FAT DIFFERENTLY?
-SAME % IN MEN & WOMEN BUT MEN TEND TO STORE FAT AROUND WAIST & WOMEN AROUND HIPS &
THIGHS
7. D) RECOMMENDED BODY WEIGHT:
-BODY WEIGHT AT WHICH THERE SEEMS TO BE NO HARM TO HUMAN HEALTH.
-HEALTHY WEIGHT
-TO DETERMINE RECOMMENDED BODY WEIGHT YOU NEED TO FIND OUT WHAT
% OF TOTAL BODY WEIGHT IS FAT & WHAT AMOUNT IS LEAN TISSUE (BODY
COMPOSITION)
8. 1EF) WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
OVERWEIGHT & OBESITY?
9. E) OVERWEIGHT:
-AN EXCESS AMOUNT OF WEIGHT AGAINST A GIVEN
STANDARDS, SUCH AS HEIGHT OR RECOMMENDED % BODY
FAT
F) OBESITY:
AN EXCESSIVE ACCUMULATION OF BODY FAT, USUALLY AT
LEAST 30% ABOVE RECOMMENDED BODY WEIGHT
10. 6) IN TERMS OF ASSESSING BODY COMPOSITION, WHAT IS
A STANDARD ERROR OF ESTIMATE (SEE)?
A MEASURE OF THE ACCURACY OF THE PREDICTION
MADE THROUGH THE REGRESSION EQUATION FOR THAT
SPECIFIC TECHNIQUE.
-IF THE SEE FOR A GIVEN TECHNIQUE IS +/- 3.0 & THE
INDIVIDUAL TESTS AT A FAT % OF 18.0, THE ACTUAL FAT %
MAY RANGE FROM 15-21%.
11. 7) WHAT IS MOST ACCURATE TECHNIQUE FOR
ASSESSING BODY COMPOSITION?
HYDROSTATIC WEIGHING
12. 8) HOW DOES HYDROSTATIC WEIGHING
ASSESS BODY COMPOSITION?
-A PERSON’S REGULAR WEIGHT IS
COMPARED WITH A WEIGHT TAKEN
UNDERWATER.
-BECAUSE FAT IS MORE BUOYANT THAN
LEAN TISSUE, COMPARING THE 2 WEIGHTS
CAN DETERMINE A PERSON’S % OF FAT.
-THE SEE FOR HYDROSTATIC WEIGHING IS +/-
2.5%.
13. 9) WHAT ARE SOME DRAWBACKS TO HYDROSTATIC
WEIGHING?
1) NOT FEASIBLE WHEN TESTING A LOT OF PEOPLE.
-EACH INDIVIDUAL ASSESSMENT CAN TAKE AS
LONG AS 30 MIN.
2) DIFFICULT TO ADMINISTER TO AQUAPHOBIC PEOPLE.
-AQUAPHOBIC: HAVING A FEAR OF WATER.
14. HOW DOES AIR DISPLACEMENT ASSESS BODY
COMPOSITION?
-AN INDIVIDUAL SITS INSIDE A SMALL CHAMBER (BOD
POD).
-COMPUTERIZED PRESSURE SENSORS DETERMINE THE
AMOUNT OF AIR DISPLACED BY THE PERSON INSIDE THE
CHAMBER.
-BODY VOLUME IS CALCULATED BY SUBTRACTING THE
AIR VOLUME WITH THE PERSON INSIDE THE CHAMBER
FROM THE VOLUME OF THE EMPTY CHAMBER.
-BODY DENSITY & % BODY FAT THEN ARE CALCULATED
FROM THE OBTAINED BODY VOLUME.
-THE SEE OF AIR DISPLACEMENT IS +/- 2.2%.
15. 11) WHY IS THE BOD POD NOT READILY AVAILABLE IN
FITNESS CENTERS & EXERCISE LABORATORIES?
HIGH COST
16. 12) HOW DOES SKINFOLD THICKNESS ASSESS BODY
COMPOSITION?
-BASED ON THE PRINCIPLE THAT THE AMOUNT OF
SUBCUTANEOUS FAT IS PROPORTIONAL TO TOTAL BODY
FAT.
-SUBCUTANEOUS FAT: DEPOSITS OF FAT DIRECTLY
UNDER THE SKIN.
-THE SKINFOLD TEST IS DONE WITH THE AID OF
PRESSURE CALIPERS.
-THE SEE FOR SKINFOLD THICKNESS IS +/- 3.5%.
17. 13) WHAT BODY AREAS ARE USED ON MEN & WOMEN FOR
THE SKINFOLD THICKNESS TEST?
A) MEN
-CHEST, ABDOMEN, THIGH
B) WOMEN
-TRICEPS, SUPRAILIUM, THIGH
18. 14) WHAT IS THE MOST COMMON TECHNIQUE TO
DETERMINE THINNESS & EXCESSIVE FATNESS?
BODY MASS INDEX
19. BODY MASS INDEX:
-INCORPORATES HEIGHT & WEIGHT (NOT GENDER
SPECIFIC) TO ESTIMATE CRITICAL FAT VALUES AT WHICH
THE RISK FOR DISEASE INCREASES
-IN RECENT YEARS HAS BECOME THE MEDICAL
STANDARD USED TO MEASUE OVERWEIGHT & OBESITY
-BMI 18.5-25 IS CONSIDERED NORMAL
-LOWEST RISK FOR CHRONIC DISEASE IS BMI 22-25
-OVERWEIGHT: BMI 25-30
15) A BMI ABOVE WHAT IS DEFINED AS OBESE?
•30
16) A BMI BELOW WHAT IS DEFINED AS UNDERWEIGHT?
•18.5
20. BMI CALCULATION:
-MULTIPLYING BODY WEIGHT BY 705 & DIVIDING
THIS FIGURE BY THE SQUARE OF THE HEIGHT IN
INCHES
ME:
170LBS X 705 = 119,850
119,850 / (69)2 = 119,850/4,761 = 25.17 BMI
23. 1) What 5 media companies are working with the first lady's Let's Move! campaign to identify the MyPlate-
worthy recipes?
-Condé Nast Magazines, Hearst Magazines, Meredith, Food Network and Time Inc (along with 18 cooking
websites)
2) A new Pinterest page will feature more than how many recipes?
-3,000
3) Who is also partnering in this effort to ensure that the recipes align with the dietary guidelines and have
limited added sugar and saturated fat and are low in sodium?
-The U.S. Department of Agriculture
4) The first lady is celebrating what anniversary of her "Let's Move!" initiative to combat childhood
obesity?
-Third
5) About a third of kids and teens are overweight or obese, putting them at a greater risk of developing a
host of debilitating and costly diseases, including what?
-Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol
