Skinfold Calipers products

Skinfold Calipers are suitable for professional use either as a research tool or in a health/fitness screening environment to provide readings of the body fat. The skinfold test method is performed by a pinch of skin, precisely measured by calipers at several standardized points on the body to determine the subcutaneous fat layer thickness. In order to calculate the body fat percentage, some formulas require several measurements before the data can be entered into an equation. A skinfold test is sensitive to the type of caliper used, and technique. Although it may not give an accurate reading of real body fat percentage, it is a reliable measure of body composition change over a period of time if the test is carried out by the same person with the same technique.
