Fitness: morphological
- how would you assess morphological fitness?
- a spectrum with adverse outcomes on both ends
- Clinical practice
- Body mass (relative to height)
- BMI (weight/height^2)
- % ideal body weight
- whole body composition (BIA more than skinfolds)
- fat mass, fat free (lean mass)
- partitioned body composition
- DXA (bone mineral density + body composition)
- waist circumference (abdominal fat)
- appendicular muscle mass ∑4 limbs =ASM (in kg) and ASM/height^2 = SMI
- Body mass (relative to height)
