What represents the body’s fat-free mass and body fat percentage?

Muscular strength
Body composition
Muscular endurance
Cardiovascular efficiency

The correct answer is: Body composition

Body composition refers to the proportion of fat mass to fat-free mass in the body, which includes muscles, bones, and organs. It provides important insights into an individual’s health and fitness levels. Understanding body composition is essential for personal trainers and fitness professionals because it can influence training strategies and nutritional recommendations tailored to the individual's goals. While muscular strength, muscular endurance, and cardiovascular efficiency are all important components of fitness, they do not specifically indicate the distribution of fat and lean mass within the body. Thus, body composition is the most accurate term for representing fat-free mass and body fat percentage, highlighting its significance in assessing overall health and fitness.
