A Study on Body Fat Percentage for Physical Fitness and Prevention of Obesity: A Two Compartment Model

Mohajan, Devajit and Mohajan, Haradhan (2023): A Study on Body Fat Percentage for Physical Fitness and Prevention of Obesity: A Two Compartment Model. Published in: Journal of Innovations in Medical Research , Vol. 2, No. 4 (21 April 2023): pp. 1-10.

Abstract

The minimal amount of body fat is necessary for normal physiological functions that manages body temperature, creates energy to perform all the physical activities, and protects the organs of human body. Storage body fat consists of fat accumulation in adipose tissue. Total body fat in human body is the sum of essential fat and storage fat. At present body fat percentage is considered as one of the most accurate obesity evaluation tools. To determine body fat accurately the clinicians should use the most appropriate, accurate, and accessible strategies available in the scientific research area. Accurate measurement of body fat and lean body is essential for the nutrition assessment, and an individual’s overall health and well-being. In this study some measurement processes are discussed to determine body fat percentage (BFP) properly of a person by the analysis of two compartment model: fat mass and fat free mass.
