Body fat estimations:
Estimating body fat can be done using various methods, each with its own level of accuracy and complexity. Skinfold Measurements involves using calipers to measure the thickness of skinfolds at specific body sites. These measurements are then used in equations to estimate body fat percentage.

Equipment Information
Direct Measurement:
Tapes: Used to measure lengths (e.g., height, waist circumference).
Calipers: Measure skinfold thickness to estimate body fat.
Anthropometers: Precise instruments for measuring body dimensions.
Indirect Measurement:
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA): Estimates body composition by analyzing electrical resistance.
Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA): Measures bone density and body fat.
Photogrammetry: Uses photographs to assess body proportions.
Common Anthropometric Equipment:
Weighing Scales: For body weight measurement.
Stadiometers: Measure height or length.
Skinfold Calipers: Assess subcutaneous fat.
Girth (Circumference) Tapes: Measure waist, hip, and other circumferences.
Head Measurement Devices: Used for head circumference assessment.
