|QUALIFICATION UNITS | |GCSE Health & Social Care |
| | |Unit 2:: Promoting health & well-being |
| | |You have successfully identified and described the factors and risk which can affect your |
| | |client’s health and well-being. Now you are going to measure just how fit and healthy |
| | |your client is. To do this you are going to use up to four different measures of health. |
| | |Body mass index |
| | |Height/weight charts |
| | |Harvard Step Test |
| | |Peak Flow |
| | | |
|TASK 1 | |BODY MASS INDEX |
| | |Use the body mass index information sheet to help you complete this task. |
| | |Explain what Body Mass Index is, what it measures and how it is calculated. |
| | |Calculate your client’s body mass index using the worksheet. |
| | |Explain what your results mean: is your client overweight, underweight or OK? Eg, if your|
| | |client is overweight you need to explain why this is putting their health at risk. |
| | |Check your calculations by logging onto |
| | |.uk/healthydiet/healthyweight/bmicalculator |
| | | |
|TASK 2 | |HEIGHT-WEIGHT |
| | |Use the Height-Weight information sheet to help you. |
| | |Explain what height/weight charts are and why they are used. |
| | |Either use the chart you have been given or find one on the internet (.uk) |
| | |to mark your clients height/weight on it. |
| | |Explain what your results mean and which category your client falls into. |
| | |Explain the implications for their health, and whether their health is at risk. |
| | | |
|TASK 3 | |HARVARD STEP TEST |
| | |Use the information sheet to help you. Explain what the Harvard Step Test is. Follow the|
| | |instructions for the Harvard Step Test and ask your client to carry it out. |
| | | |
|TASK 4 | |PEAK FLOW |
| | |If your client is a smoker or lives with a smoker you could use peak flow as a measure of |
| | |health. Use the worksheet ‘What is Peak Flow’ to help you. |
| | | |
|TASK 5 | |CONCLUSION |
| | |You have used four measures of health to assess your client’s health and well-being. Now |
| | |do the following. |
| | | |
| | |Choose one or two of these measures of health and describe them in detail, making sure you|
| | |include any calculations. |
| | | |
| | |Draw conclusions from these results. Comment on your client’s physical health. For |
| | |example, “From the results of my client’s BMI assessment, I have discovered that they fall|
| | |into the over-weight category. This means that ………………………….., and my client could be at |
| | |risk of ……………” |
| | |To get a higher grade you need to write about this in as much detail as possible. Try to |
| | |compare your results against any developmental norms for your client’s age. |
|INFORMATION SHEET |
|BODY MASS INDEX |
| |
|In adults the relationship between height and weight can be an indicator of good or ill health. A person’s weight should be |
|in proportion to their height as shown in the height-weight charts. A person is considered obese when their weight is more |
|than 20% above the average weight for people of the same height and similar cultural background |
| |
|BMI assesses whether a person is underweight, normal, overweight, or obese. It measures the amount of fat in a person in |
|relation to his or her height. BMI is less accurate for athletes or those who are very muscled because muscle weighs more |
|than fat. Such people can appear in a higher BMI category despite having a healthy level of body fat. The BMI is not |
|accurate for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or for people who are frail. |
|The BMI Calculator is only one guide to a person’s overall health. Waist measurement, body fat level, blood pressure, |
|cholesterol, physical activity, smoking and the healthiness of the diet are also important. A BMI assessment is not the same|
|as a height-weight assessment. |
| |
|BMI is assessed by using the following calculation: |
| |
|Weight (kg) = BMI |
|Height (m) x Height (m) |
| |
|TRY IT FOR YOURSELF |
|Using the formula above work out the BMI for the following people. Round up your results to the nearest whole figure: |

|Working with 3 friends collect information about each other’s height and weight in feet and inches and stones. |
| |
| |
|Height (feet & inches) |
|Weight (stones and pounds) |
| |
|Person 1 |

| |
| |
|Now convert this into metric |
| |
|To convert your client’s weight: |
|Change their weight into pounds (lbs) and then divide that by 2.2 to convert it into kilograms. |
|Weight 1 kg = 2.2 lbs |
|1 stone = 14 lbs |
| |
|Example: client’s weight =8 stone 6lbs |
|To convert to pounds do the following: |
|8 x 14 = 112 + 6 = 118 lbs |
| |
|Now to convert this to kilograms: |
|divide 118 by 2.2 |
|118 ( 2.2 = 53.636 (round this up to 2 decimal places) |
| |
|Now calculate your clients BMI using the formula given above. |
| |
|What conclusions can you draw from this result? |
| |
|Could their BMI affect their health and well-being? If so, how? |

|INFORMATION SHEET |
|Height and Weight |
| |
|A person’s weight should be in proportion to their height and this can be a good indicator of an adult’s health. They are |
|standard ways of measuring a person’s weight against their height. To do this standard charts are used which take into |
|account the person’s frame size. Frame size s is a person’s bone size and build. Different tables are used for men and |
|women. |
|A person will be considered OBESE if their weight is 20% or more above the average weight for people of the same height. |
|If someone falls into the severely overweight range then they are at risk of: |
|Cardiovascular disease |
|High blood pressure |
|Diabetes |
|Arthritis and other conditions. |
| |
|Moderately overweight people are still at risk and should follow the same plan as severely overweight people. |
| |
|Slightly overweight people are still at a greater risk than those of normal weight, but should follow a sensible |
|weigh-reducing plan and take more exercise. |
| |
|Being slightly underweight is not a problem but being very underweight is a problem. |
| |
|What category does your client fall into? |
| |
| |
|Is this a factor which could affect your client’s health and well-being? |
| |
| |
|If so what health risks are they facing? |
| |

|Harvard Step Test |
| |
|The Harvard Step Test measures your endurance (stamina) fitness level. It tests how quickly your heart rate returns |
|to its resting rate after exercise. The more quickly the heart rate returns to its resting rate the fitter your |
|client is. |
| |
|You need to be able to measure your pulse to do the Harvard Step Test. Ask your teacher to show you how if you are |
|not sure how to do this. |
| |
|How to carry out the Harvard Step Test |
|Work in pairs. You must step up and down on to a 50 cm step (if possible). You must: |
|Step up with one foot |
|Step up with the other foot and stand straight |
|Step down with the first foot |
|Step down with the other foot and place both feet side by side. |
| |
|To calculate a person’s fitness indexes carry out the following exercise. |
|0 – 4 minutes – step up and down |
|Rest for 1 minute |
|Take their pulse for 30 seconds |
|Rest for 30 seconds & record their score |
|Take their pulse for 30 seconds |
|Rest for 30 seconds & record their score |
|Take their pulse for 30 seconds |
|Record their score |
|Record all 3 scores in the table below. |
| |
|1. Length of exercise in seconds |
| |
| |
| |
|2. Multiply by 100 (this is figure A) |

|You need to draw some general conclusions about this group of people. So calculate the following: |
| |
|The mean fitness index for the group |
|The mode fitness index for the group |
|The median fitness index for the group |
|Find the range of the fitness index for the group. |
| |
|You must show your workings. |
| |
|Present the information using two different charts, graphs or diagrams. This should clearly show the fitness indices |
|of your client group. |
| |
|How many people had a fitness index between 51 – 60? |
|How many people had a fitness index between 71 – 80? |
|What conclusions can you draw from your findings? |
| |
|Performing the Harvard Step Test on Your Client |
|Ask your client to practise this movement so that they get a steady rhythm going. The four step-ups are one cycle |
|and should take two seconds to complete. |
|How many step-ups will they do: |

|Peak Flow |
| |
|A peak flow meter is a special kind of Spirometer, an instrument that measures the breathing rate and volume of air |
|taken in by a person during each breath. They are used to see how effective a person’s lungs are. The peak flow |
|meter usually measures the maximum rate at which air is expelled from the lungs when a person breathes out as hard as|
|they can. This is called forced vital capacity. This is an example of a pulmonary function test, because it |
|measures lung function. |
| |
|To measure peak flow you will need a peak flow meter, which will record the maximum speed at which air can flow out |
|of the lungs. The measurement is used to assess the width of the air passages (the bronchi). |
| |
|The most common use of peak flow measurement is to monitor the narrowing of the air passages in people who suffer |
|from asthma. It is also a useful measurement in people who have respiratory problems such as coughing or difficulty |
|with breathing. |
| |
|The peak flow meter can be use to diagnose whether someone has a problem with their lungs by comparing their score |
|with a chart of expected scores. You could use peak flow to measure your client’s health, especially if you have a |
|peak flow meter at home. This is a good measure of health to use if your client is a smoker. |
| |
|How to Use the Peak Flow Meter |
|Your peak flow is a measure of how much air you can push out of your lungs with maximum effort. Below are simple |
|instructions for using a peak flow meter. Be sure to write down your results. |
| |
|Move the marker to 0 or to the lowest point/position on the scale. |
|Stand. |
|Make sure you're in the same position each time you test. |
|Take in as deep a breath as you can. |
|Put the mouthpiece of the peak flow meter in your mouth between your teeth. |
|Close your lips tightly around it. |
|Be sure your tongue does not block the opening. Blow into the mouthpiece once, as hard and as fast as you can. |
|Take the peak flow meter out of your mouth. |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
|Peak Flow as a Measure of Health |
|If you are to draw conclusions about your client you have to compare their peak flow to the expected range for |
|someone of the same sex, age and height. |
| |
|My client |
