SESIÓN SINCRÓNICA CULTURA FÍSICA NOVIEMBRE 12 DEL 2024

Summary

In this video script, the instructor explains the process for completing a physical fitness evaluation based on anthropometric data. The students are guided step-by-step on how to fill out an anthropometric form, including measuring weight, height, and ideal weight, along with details about body fat percentage and various body measurements. The importance of researching and defining terms such as body fat percentage, BMI, and different physical tests like the abdominal test and the Cooper test is emphasized. The instructor also reminds students of deadlines and encourages them to consult additional resources for accurate information. This session includes practical advice and addresses common questions from the class.

Takeaways

• 😀 The instructor reminds students that the deadline for the previous assignments (forum and infographic) is until the next day, and some have already been graded.
• 😀 Students are informed that the new task is the 'Anthropometric Form,' with a deadline of November 19th.
• 😀 The instructor shares instructions on how to download and complete the anthropometric form, which is available on the platform in Word format.
• 😀 After completing the form in Word, students are advised to convert it to PDF before submitting to ensure proper formatting and image placement.
• 😀 The anthropometric form includes sections for personal information (name, ID number), weight, height, and ideal weight. Students are encouraged to measure their weight and height if unsure.
• 😀 The form asks for measurements related to arm span, body fat percentage, and the definitions of various skinfolds (tricipital, subscapular, suprailiac, abdominal, thigh, and calf). Students should research these terms online and fill them out in their own words.
• 😀 For the body fat percentage section, students are told they don't need to take the skinfold measurements themselves but should understand the concept and provide definitions.
• 😀 The form also includes calculations like the body mass index (BMI), which students must calculate using their own weight and height, and then classify the result (e.g., normal, overweight, etc.).
• 😀 Students are required to search for images related to BMI and other measurements (such as waist circumference) and attach them to the form with proper citations.
• 😀 The instructor emphasizes that some physical tests in the form (like abdominal test, arm strength, etc.) should only be done by students who are in good physical condition to avoid injury. They are to research these tests and include images and bibliographies.
• 😀 The instructor clarifies that the final assignment deadline is December 5th, and the last session will be held on December 26th. Students are encouraged to reach out for help if they encounter any problems or have doubts.

Q & A

What is the deadline for submitting the anthropometric file?

The deadline for submitting the anthropometric file is November 19th, which is in 8 days from the session date.

What is the first step in filling out the anthropometric file?

The first step is to enter personal details such as your full name, the number of your file, your ID number, weight in kilograms, and height in centimeters.

How should students submit the anthropometric file once completed?

Students should complete the anthropometric file in Word format, convert it to PDF, and then upload the PDF to the platform to avoid formatting issues.

What are the required physical measurements to be included in the anthropometric file?

The required measurements include weight, height, ideal weight, arm span, and heart rate. Additionally, students must define and locate six skinfold measurements on the body.

What is the significance of the skinfold measurements?

The skinfold measurements help assess body fat percentage and fat weight. These include tricipital, subscapular, suprailiac, abdominal, thigh, and calf skinfolds.

What should students do if they don't have access to a caliper for skinfold measurements?

If students do not have access to a caliper, they should only write the definitions of the skinfolds and not take the actual measurements.

What does the 'body mass index' (BMI) refer to and how is it calculated?

The BMI is a measure that relates a person's weight to their height. It is calculated by dividing weight (in kilograms) by the square of height (in meters). The resulting number can classify a person as underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obese.

What is the 'waist circumference index' (ICCC) and how should it be calculated?

The ICCC is a measurement of waist circumference, which can help assess obesity risk. To calculate it, students need to measure their waist with a tape measure, and based on the value, they can assess whether they are at risk of obesity.

What types of fitness tests should students research for this assignment?

Students should research tests such as the abdominal test for one minute, the arm test for one minute, the leg test for one minute (squats), the Wells flexibility test, and the Cooper test, which is an aerobic endurance test.

What should students do if they are not physically prepared to perform some of the fitness tests?

If students are not physically prepared to perform certain tests, such as the Cooper test, they should not attempt them. The tests are demanding and may cause injury if the student is not in good physical condition.
