1. THE MEASUREMENT OF BODY COMPOSITION INCHILDRENThrough a table of BMI, Lange Calipermachine of Bio-impedance, and dexa Ernesto Sánchez Burgos 22.03.2011

2. SUMMARY BODY COMPOSITION MEASUREMENT OF BODY COMPOSITION LANGE CALIBRE MACHINE OF BIO-IMPEDANCE ADVANTAGE AND DISADVANTAGE CONCLUSIONS BIBLIOGRAPHY

3. BODY COMPOSITION Proportion of fat muscle + bones fat-free in the body

4. MEASUREMENT OF BODY COMPOSITION BMI = weight (kg) / height2(m) To know to could predict futures problems of health (Lohman, 1986)

6. Posture body

7. Functionality of body

8. Balance between different part of body

10. MACHINE OF BIO-IMPEDANCE This method is the “best” to measure the estimation of fat-free mass, fat mass and percentage body fat (Tyrrellet et al, 2001)

11. dexa %fat fat mass / height2 lean mass / height2 appendicle lean mass / height2 %fat trunk / %fat legs ratio trunk / limb fat mass ratio of fat bone mineral content (Kelly et al, 2009)

12. ADVANTAGEANDDISADVANTAGE

13. CONCLUSIONS Knowledge of our pupils is essential to give every one that he/she necessity Observation in our students is very important; their behaviors, their movements, their body posture… their non-verbal communication No method is the best to apply in every schools To spend time in our class to measure the health of our pupils is the best way to teach how important this is
