Topic Description:

Understanding changes in muscle and fat and how they relate to performance and health can be complicated and often misunderstood. Specifically, the measurement of body composition (muscle and fat) is often incorrectly performed and inaccurately interpreted in gyms, clinics, and research laboratories. Little has changed in the last 60 years regarding the fundamentals of research methods and devices used to measure body composition. However, major advances have taken place in how one can interpret the results as well as calculate more advanced measurements from data that you may have already collected. Furthermore, the dynamic nature of muscle and fat is often overlooked when interpreting body composition results and designing exercise and nutrition programs. Utilizing the appropriate methods and understanding what you are “truly” measuring is vital when trying to track changes in both fat and muscle. This lecture will discuss the dynamic nature and composition of muscle and fat and how changes can impact energy expenditure, gene expression, and other systems in the body. Both non-clinical and clinical body composition measurement techniques will be discussed, as well as how to get the most accurate and/or more advanced data from your favorite methods. You will also learn how to easily determine whether a change in body composition is actually “real” or if it is just measurement error or physiological variability.
