متن کاملConvergent Validity of Skinfold Thickness and the Hand-held Bioelectrical Impedance Analyzer using Current FITNESSGRAM Standards
Given the limitations of BMI, low-cost alternatives are needed to accurately and efficiently estimate adiposity in physical education classes. The purpose of this study was to examine the convergent validity between the Omron HBF-301 BIA device (BIA) and skinfold thickness assessment (SKF) in middle-school students using current FITNESSGRAM standards. Body composition was assessed on 134 studen...
