When making circumference measurements, it is recommended that each site be measured twice (in a rotational order), and an average of the two measurements is used. The EP-C should retest if the initial measurements are not within _____ mm of each other. Select one: a. 3.0 b. 1.0 c. 5.0 d. 10.0 Determining percentage body fat is valuable to the EP-C for all except: Select one: a. estimate weight loss goals. b. assess the progress of a weight management program. c. design appropriate exercise prescriptions. d. assess cardiorespiratory fitness for baseline measures. The accuracy of predicting percentage body fat from skinfolds is approximately: Select one: a. ±2.5%. b. ±3.0%. c. ±2.0%. d. ±3.5%. Which is not true of performing skinfold measure for assessing body composition? Select one: a. All measures should be recorded to the nearest 0.5 mm. b. All measures should be taken on the right side of the body. c. The caliper should be held in the right hand. d. Each site should be measured at least twice before moving to the next site. Which is not true of performing skinfold measure for assessing body composition? Select one: a. All measures should be recorded to the nearest 0.5 mm. b. All measures should be taken on the right side of the body. c. The caliper should be held in the right hand. d. Each site should be measured at least twice before moving to the next site.

Which skinfold site was the easiest and which was the most difficult to measure, why? Skinfold sites: Chest, triceps, subscapular, midaxillary, suprailiac, abdominal, thigh, and calf.

It's possible to estimate the percentage of fat in the body by measuring the resistance of the upper leg rather than the upper arm; the calculation is similar. A person's leg measures 40 cm between the knee and the hip with an average leg diameter (ignoring bone and other poorly conducting tissue) of 12 cm. A potential difference of 0.80 causes a current of 1.6 mA. Part A: What are the fractions of muscle and fat in the leg? Express your answers in percent separated by a comma.
