Pipes is head of a consulting firm, n adviser to athletes, and director fpreventive and sports medicine at health and racquet club in north- rn San Diego County. He said the most reliable guide is be ratio of fat to muscle. That set of umbers is obtained by being sighed twice, once under water. WE KNOW the density of mus- le, bone and fat.” Pipes said. "We now that muscle and bone sink in rater and fat floats. We can tell with great deal of accuracy the propor- ion of fat. The dry weight, the wet weight nd a mathematical formula give ipes the percentage of body fat. Inderwater weight is measured by uspending a person from a pringboard with the help of a cale-rigged plastic basket. Men are considered in good con ation if only 14 to 17 percent of beir total body weight is fat. The omparable range for women is 22 o26 percent. The key is not really the (juantity, jut the quality of weight, Pipes aid. "We consider obesity for men to ie over 25 percent fat and for vomen, over 35 percent.” APPEARANCE can be decep- ie. Ron Cey, the 5 foot-9-inch, 85-pound Los Angeles Dodgers bird baseman, is among athletes ipes has cheeked. "He looks pudgy, but he had only percent body fat.” Pipes said. He’s really a very fit athlete. ” Pipes found the expected low lercentage of body fat on jockeys, iut learned from studying Willie ihoemaker that Shoemaker utilizes ixygen very well and is strong. “They don’t just sit up there on a lorse. They work a lot harder than 1 bought.” Athletes’ condition varies widely rom sport to sport and sometimes fom position to position, he said. He rated boxers highest in overall tness, followed in order by basket- )all, football, hockey, soccer and laseball players. He called Cey an exception; litchers generally are the most fit mong baseball players. RUNNING BACKS are the most lit of professional football players,” ’ipes said. “Wide receivers and de cisive backs are next.” Pipes, 26, is working toward a loctorate in exercise physiology at be University of Southern Califor- lia. Originally he studied physical iducation and physiology at the University of California at Davis to iry to improve as a discus thrower. His testing of sports pros was lone largely under the auspices of tbe National Athletic Health Insti tute. He has advised teams in pro fessional baseball, basketball, foot ball and hockey. He will be a con sultant to the 1980 U.S. Olympic team. The whole idea of this field, pre- Ve ntive medicine, or sports Medicine, is screening people, “ipes said. “We can give them a tit less prescription.” HE ESTABLISHES three com- lonents for each exercise program frequency, duration and intensity. H (as a do-it-yourself exerciser) you don t know what to do and how Much to do, you have a problem, Pl Pes said. I j? e .^P 8 c "lub members choose ,y'building activities such as ten- ms, racquetball, swimming or yoga, e then works out a prescription to [ ren gthen the muscles, heart and overtaxing them. More and more people are giv- Mg up jogging because they think ef e is no other way,” Pipes said, Messing the need for variety in w orkouts.

You can lose 10 pounds of fat weight and gain eight pounds of muscle weight,” he said. As the body is built up, the same workload requires a lower pulse rate, so the intensity of the exercise is stepped up. "The important thing is to main tain the pulse rate,” Pipes said.
