Define the ratio between body fat and muscles
Demarest Clinic's Body Composition Analysis (BCA) goes beyond what you expect from your typical health check to assess the proportion of fat to fat-free mass in your body. This is especially important for athletes, so that they may closely monitor their body composition. Athletes need to strike a fine balance of a low ration of body fat to muscle, bones and organs.
A certain amount of body fat is important to all individuals, but primarily in three areas of fat storage:
A certain amount of these fats exist to protect organs as well as to provide fuel for energy, and to regulate your body's hormones. Paying close attention to your levels of fat is important in order to get a full picture of your total health and fitness.
Low body fat can increase the risk of injury, illness, low bone density (osteoporosis) and increase your likelihood of experiencing bone fractures.
The American Council on Exercise (ACE) has determined that the below are the medically accepted standard ranges of body fat percentages.
| Men | Women | |
|---|---|---|
| Essential Fat | 2% to 5% | 10% to 13% |
| Athletes | 6% to 13% | 14% to 20% |
| Fitness | 14% to 17% | 21% to 24% |
| Acceptable | 18% to 24% | 25% to 31% |
| Obese | Over 25% | Over 32% |
