12. BMI (Body Mass Index)
• Tool for indicating weight status in adults
– A measure of weight for height
– BMI = Weight in Kilograms
(Height in Meters) x (Height in Meters)
• For adults over 20 years old, BMI falls into the following
categories:
– BMI Weight Status
Below 18.5 Underweight
18.5 – 24.9 Normal
25.0 – 29.9 Overweight
30.0 and Above Obese

15. Futrex Body Comp Analyzer
• Uses light absorption to measure body fat
– Direct correlation with the body’s overall fat level
• Sensor is placed at the center of the biceps of the
dominant arm
– Sends Near-Infrared light
beam at specific wavelengths
that fat absorbs
and lean mass
reflects

17. Cardiovascular & Respiratory Performance
• Blood Pressure
• Heart rate
• Vital Lung Capacity

18. Blood Pressure & Heart Rate

19. Vital Lung Capacity
• The maximum amount of air that can be
exhaled after a maximum inhalation
– Used to determine the condition of lung
tissue
– Also known as “Vital Capacity”
• Typical normal range is 3000-5000 Liters
– Normal value is gender, age, and
height dependant

22. Stress Profiling
• Dealing productively with stress is
an important aspect of wellness
• CWAS provides an objective
assessment of
stress reactivity
– Understanding our stress
responses
is a vital first step to
taking control
and creating
wellness
Be Fit. Eat Right. Think Well.

23. Measuring Stress
• CWAS measures the physiologic
responses that are most reactive to
stress
– Galvanic Skin Response (GSR)
– Heartrate
– Peripheral Blood Flow
– Skin Temperature
• Scientific validity of all measurements
is well-established
– Extensive literature in polygraphy
and psychophysiology

24. How Stress Profiling Works
• Easily performed
– All measurements are
conveniently (and non-
threateningly) made from one
hand
– Synchronized protocol will direct
client while software acquires
physiologic data
• Three-minute protocol
– Resting Baseline
– Response to Stressor and
Recovery

31. Stress Profiling Results
• Analysis is based primarily on
recovery from stress
– A “hot” reactor has
elevated responses that do
not return to baseline
levels quickly
– Identify sources of stress
and develop coping
strategies

32. Strength
• Dynamometer
– Arm
– Torso
– Leg

33. Arm Strength
• The client should be
standing upright, with
shoulders back and
knees slightly bent.
• The client should grip
the handles with palms
up.
• The elbows should be
bent at approximately
45 degrees.
• Instruct the client to
“perform a brief bicep
curl”.

34. Torso Strength
• The client should be
seated with straight
back, shoulders back,
and knees slightly
bent.
• The client should grip
the handles with palms
up.
• The elbows should be
bent at approximately
90 degrees.
• Instruct the client
“From an upright
position, lean back and
pull with your back”.

35. Leg Strength
• The client should be
standing upright,
shoulders back with
knees slightly bent.
• The client should grip
the handles with palms
down.
• The elbows should be
slightly bent.
• Instruct the client to
attempt to “stand from
this position without
leaning forward ”.
