Many athletes measure their physique composition to keep up their best physique make-up for his or her sport (and each athlete is totally different), which might affect their efficiency and well being. Sometimes, shedding physique fats whereas sustaining or growing lean mass (which incorporates muscle, bone, and water make-up) is favorable for a lot of athletes. Nevertheless, since muscle is denser than fats, extra muscle gained means the next weight and the next BMI, usually placing athletes within the ‘obese’ or typically ‘overweight’ class, which is usually why BMI is inaccurate.
If Maher has 85% lean mass, she has about 15% physique fats, which is reportedly regular for feminine athletes (14-20% physique fats). Comparatively, a mean girl non-athlete may need 25-31% physique fats.
