ESCONDIDIO, Calif'. — Weight
1 a poor guide to physical condition,
Siivs Tom Pipes, who prescribes
xercise programs for athletes and
ther people who want to tone up.
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)

Much to do, you have a problem,
Pl Pes said.

ms, racquetball, swimming or yoga,

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. "Any exercise that you do

HE OFTEN puts more emphasis
on converting fat to muscle than in
weight loss.
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.
