The skinfold method of body fat measurement is based on a simple principle:
the fat that lies just under the skin is a fair representation of the amount of fat on
the rest of the body. Repeated comparison to body fat measurements obtained by
hydrostatic weighing (which is used to validate all other methods of body fat assessment)
show the skinfold method to be quite accurate.
The Accu-Measure® takes advantage of a simple
one-site protocol. You may find it hard to believe that pinching a single skinfold
located near the waist can provide an accurate indication of body fat -- especially if
you have fat thighs or fat upper arms or a pot belly, but it does. New research
supports that taking measurements at additional sites does not significantly improve
predicted body fat percentage. Just as a scale gives a relatively accurate body weight,
Accu-Measure® gives a relatively accurate body fat measurement.
The Accu-Measure® includes calipers,
and easy-to-follow instructions.
