Question 2How many times a week should a

teenager exercise a week?

again?

Well Done!An active male should consume 2’400-

3’000 calories a day to maintain health and to produce enough energy for their active

lifestyle. Whereas a sedimentary male would consume a lot less as they aren't as

active as what an active male would be.

Question 4What is the equation to calculate

BMI?

a) Weight/Height, Squared

b) Weight X Height

c) Weight + Height, Squared

Sorry! That’s not right, try

again?

That’s right!To calculate your own BMI you must divide your Weight by your Height then square your answer. To get a correct answer you must use the same

units for both height and weight. E.g Kg & Meters OR lbs & Inches. Correct weight for height,

establish whether you are over/underweight. However BMI does not take into account muscle mass for people such as body builders (who may

have a very low body fat level) but may be classed as obese due to the weight of the muscle

Question 5Which age range should consume the most calories from this list?

a) Active adult Male

b) Adult Female

c) Elderly People

Sorry! That’s not right, try

again?

Correct!Adult males need more calories because they use more energy due to their larger muscle mass – the larger the muscle mass in a person the larger the

calorific requirements to complete the same activity. (although the difference is not significant). Another factor would be that ACTIVE people burn more calories due to their lifestyle compared to

someone who does very little. .
