Maintaining a Healthy Body Composition and Body Image

Question 5 • Fall 24 Personal Fitness IC

Which would be a measure in determining body composition?

Answer
A
amount of water excreted a day
B
amount of protein consumed
C
the percentage of fat in the body
D
the percentage of sugar consumed

Explanation

Body composition describes the proportions of different tissues and substances in the body, such as fat and lean mass. The percentage of fat in the body directly measures one part of that composition, so the correct choice is “the percentage of fat in the body.” Water excreted and protein or sugar consumed are measures of fluid output or diet, not body composition.
