how would you test body composition
BMI (body mass index)
BIA (bio electrical impedance analysis)
skin fold testing
method for BMI
take body weight (kg), take height (m), carry out calculation body weight (kg)/ height x height(m)
method for BIA
urinate 30 mins prior, lie down and remove socks and shoes, BIA electrodes on the right wrist and hand, right ankle and foot.
% of body fat will be shown.
method for skinfold testing
muscles relaxed, mark each skin fold, grasp the skin fold and pull, place skin fold in calipers. calibrate to the nearest 0.5mm. do it 2 or 3 times.
