Body Composition Assessment
Three adolescents were selected to perform body composition assessments. The adolescents aged between 15 and 17 years old from both genders. They included two boys and two girls. Their results were recorded as follows.
The first adolescent is my younger brother, Michael.
Age = 15 years
Weight = 50 kg
Height = 1.59 m
A Body Mass Index (BMI) method was used to determine whether Michael is normal, overweight, or obese. Based on these measurements, his BMI is as follows:
BMI = BMI = kg/m2 = 50Kg/1.592 = 19.77. Michael’s BMI is 19.77, indicating that he has a normal weight. Scientifically, a normal BMI ranges between 18.5 and 24.9 (Healthline.com, n.d.) and Michael falls in this category.
The second adolescent is my friend, Jack
Age: 17 years
Sex: Male
