Skinfold Measurement
Skinfold measurement
A skinfold measurement is a way to measure body fat percentage of your body. With help of a skinfold caliper, the skinfold is measured at four places of the body. Based on the thickness of the skin fold, the fat percentage is calculated. Too high of a fat percentage can cause health problems. In addition, fat percentage also affects sports performance. Fats are needed for the formation of hormones, body cells and play an important role in the nervous system.
