Measurement of body fat

Measurement of body fat is not easy. Most often done in laboratory research.

   1. The weight in water, then calculate the amount of fat and muscle content is a way of precision. But it made room for practice only.

   2. BOD POD is detected by x-ray machine, elliptical machine will calculate the amount of muscle, fat tissue intensity.

   3. DEXA: Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) is the x-ray determination of fat

How to determine the amount of body fat was many things.

    * Using calipers measure the thickness of the subcutaneous fat layer, such as might be measured at Dgoongแkhn.
    * Bioelectric impedance analysis using electricity through the body and then calculate it.
    * Use the table weight and height.
    * Body Mass Index.
    * Measuring waist circumference.
