Each person is strictly individual, the same treats also features of his constitution which depends on the mass of factors: hereditary predisposition, the postponed diseases, metabolic rate, a way of life and work, occupation as certain sports. How to determine fat content in an organism of the specific person?
Instruction
1. Use special tables according to which fat content calculates taking into account a floor, the weight and age, the place of formation of a fold and its thickness. Be for this purpose weighed, measure thickness of a fat fold (better if you measure it not independently, and by means of other person). Having compared results, estimate result.
2. Determine percent of content of fat in an organism by means of the special calculator. For this purpose measure the weight, waist measurement. Enter the obtained data and receive result.
3. Use special scales which besides the weight of the person show percent of content of fat in an organism.
4. Calculate this indicator by the following formula: M/H^2, where M - body weight (in kilograms), and N – growth (in meters). For example, with a height of 180 cm you weigh 80 kg. Using a formula, you receive: 80/1.8^2 = 24.69. The result slightly less than 24.7, therefore, fat content in your organism does not exceed norm. And here if it exceeded value 24.7, then it would mean that you have an excess weight. It is easy to understand that the more there would be a result (with the same height of 180 cm), the more fat contains in a human body.
5. There is one more formula for determination of percent of fat in an organism. For its calculation measure bust measurement on the most acting point. After that at the level of a navel measure a waist circle. Further make measurement of hips. Divide the received waist measurement into a circle of hips. Then again divide an indicator of a waist into bust measurement. If both received result do not exceed 0.85, then the amount of fat in an organism is normal.
6. There is more exact method for determining content of fat. It is the so-called "bioelectric analysis". For its carrying out address experts. Muscle and fatty tissue show different resistance to electric current. The weak current moves through the electrodes fixed on extremities of the person. The obtained data process by means of the tables considering a sex, age and growth. As a result, the percent of content of fat in an organism is calculated.
7. Also you can use special scales which besides the weight of the person show percent of content of fat in an organism.
