Name No. _____ Date______

Age Sex Height in cm Weight lbs kg.

Body Mass Index

Height = ______m Height2 = ______m2 Weight = ______kg

Waist-to-Hip Ratio: (measure to nearest centimeter)

waist cm hip cm Ratio (W/H) ______

SKINFOLDS: (measure to nearest millimeter. Measure all sites once and then repeat each site. Average the measurements for each site. If any measurements differ by more than 5 mm from the average, re- measure until all values are within 5 mm of the average (re-figure the average each time you re-measure).

Summary Table for Body Composition

Select an Ideal % fat for yourself. Your Ideal % fat = %.

Fill in the appropriate values in the cells below from your Excel Spreadsheet. Fill in BMI and W:H ration in the blanks in the first column.

When computing body composition variables, round to the following significant decimal places:

%fat, fat weight, fat-free weight, ideal fat weight, body weight, ideal body weight, BMI,

W/H ratio to 1 decimal place; and Density to 5 decimal places.

Fill in the BMI and W/H Ratio values in the left column.

The classifications for BMI and % fat are from Table 1 in the lab instructions. The classification for Waist-to-Hip ratio are in Table 2 in the lab instructions.
