BODY COMPOSITION
K-5
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FAT MASS AND FAT-FREE MASS
The students learned about body composition by participating in an activity where the collected pounds of fat and pounds of muscle by moving around the room at taking from other hoops. This way they were learning while also working on cardiorespiratory endurance.
K-1worked as a small group to count the pounds and determine if the patient had more pounds of fat or more pounds of muscle. They learned that a healthy body composition has more pounds of muscle than fat.
2-3 worked to see if the patient had a healthy body composition with about 3-4 pounds of muscle per 1 pound of fat. They determined if the patient needed more energy in (food) or more energy out (exercise).
4-5 determined if the patient’s body composition was a healthy ratio of about 3-4 pounds of muscle for each pound of fat. They then discussed any health risks the person might have due to their body composition and what advice they could offer the pretend person to help improve their body composition.
Which patient has a healthy body composition?
Hula Hoop= Imaginary Patient
Dot = 1 pound of body fat
Ball = one pound of muscle
Recommended 3-4 lb of muscle per 1 lb of fat
