Understanding Body Fat Measurement
US Navy Method
Uses circumference measurements (neck, waist, and hips for women) to estimate body fat. This method is practical and doesn't require special equipment.
Skinfold Method
Uses calipers to measure skinfold thickness at specific body sites. The Jackson-Pollock 3-site method is used for accurate body fat estimation.
