There are a couple of different ways to figure out your body fat percentage. Some people use sound and some use a light or a laser type situation. They basically measure body percentage in the same way that a caliper does, but in a different way. The results are basically the same. With calipers, if the person is pretty knowledgeable, the figures can be used fairly closely to what you would do if you were being dumped in a tank. I would say of all the means being dumped in a tank is the best method because all of the
Body Mass Index tables are based on that. Even though the tank is probably the ultimate way, there are other ways. The calipers work pretty well. The person performing the test will know what they are doing, but it is the same with these are newer tests. It is all about positioning on the body as to where you are taking the tests as to how close and how accurate you'll be.
