Abstract: |
From this chapter begins the presentation of body composition measurement methods. Density is the first method presented as it is considered the quintessential standard method or reference method. The chapter consists of three parts. The first part analyzes the general principles of densitometry and how finding body density ultimately leads to the estimation of %BF. In the next two parts, the two different techniques for measuring body density are presented, namely hydrostatic weighing and anthropometry.
