Skinfold calipers are used to measure the thickness of subcutaneous fat at various locations on the body.The medical and fitness industries have developed specific formulas to predict body fat based on your gender, age, weight, height and skinfold measurements. These formulas have been correlated for accuracy against more invasive body fat monitoring such as underwater (hydrostatic) weighing. Skinfold testing is an easy, portable and convenient procedure that can be performed in the privacy of your home at any time you desire to monitor your body fat levels.
To start your toes should be on the ground, feet together or shoulder width apart and palms flat. Your back should be straight and you can either look forward or down. Your arms should be in the lock position.
