The good body composition is attained by balancing the amount of energy that is taken in with the amount of energy that is released by the body.

Further Explanation:

The persons' daily life routine is organized with the help of physical activity. The physical activity is differentiated into different levels which help a person to achieve a good composition of body.

Children should spend at least 60 minutes on physical activity on a daily basis whereas adults should spend at least 30 minutes on physical activity to have a good composition of body. Physical fitness helps us to prevent heart disease, lung cancer, stroke, and type II diabetes.  

Physical activity depends on:

  • Body composition: It includes the amount of fat, water, and muscle.
  • Cardiorespiratory fitness: It makes available energy at the time of physical exercise.
  • Muscular strength: Help to apply force at the time of physical exercise.
  • Muscular endurance Help in exerting force without getting muscle fatigue.
  • Flexibility: Help in smooth movement of joints.

The composition of body is made up of two kinds of tissues, lean weight and fat weight. The Fat which is stored in fat cells of the body is called fat weight. The Lean weight comprises of all other tissues, such as bones, muscle, organs, skin, and blood.

A healthy body composition is also depends on a healthy diet. If we are doing physical activities we also need carbohydrate-protein in our diet to be achieving a good body. Fat tissues are not good for healthy body composition. Even if our weight is in normal range but more weight is because of the fat tissue then the body composition is not good. We have to use more energy than we consume to lose weight. If we eat more nutrient-rich food it stores in the form of glycogen and increases the weight.
