Some doctors favor increasing the optimum weight for Americans because of their high calorie diets and sedentary lifestyles, said Dr. Garland Bare, medical director of the Student Health Center, "I don't-support that movement though," Bare said. The more lean muscle than fat as a percentage of body mass, the healthier the individual, he said. Those favoring the increase in recommended weights have an attitude that what the majority does is all right "but I dispute that," Bare said, . , Karen Knortz, an assistant athletic trainer for the UNL athletic department, said athletes weights are determin ed at UNL by an underwater weighting or displacement of mass system. In this system, the percentage of body mass, that is fat and is not fat is determined. From those measurements ideal weights are calculated for athletes. American women, Knortz said, have an average of 25.5 percentage body fat. Female athletes, depending upon the sport they are involved in, have an average of 16-18 per cent body -fat. However, she said gymnasts, for example, might be asked to slim down to achieve a 10 percent body fat level, American men naturally have a lower body fafper cent than women, Knortz said. Males have 15.5 percent body tat, Male athletes usually have an average q five to H percent body fat, although some marathon runners have been known to get down to a two percent body fat level, she said, . Bare urged individuals to plan their "strategy" ahead of time for the holiday season, If they are planning to eat a large meal,' then extra exercise should be included in this plan, he said, If weight is a problem for someone, Bare en couraged thern to "go easy on the alcohol and rich-calorie foods," , , The greatest increase in membership, numbers for Weight Watchers occurs at the beginning of January, said Lincoln, Office Manager Merna Jernberg. This might have a lot to do with New Years' resolutions, she said, Other months with large membership increases are the spring months and September, said Jernberg.
