- It's best not to have a measurement done immediately after you exercise since the shift in body fluid to the skin increases the skinfold thickness.
- Please bring or wear shorts to a skinfold measurement.
- The skinfold method of body composition analysis is fairly quick and moderately invasive.
- A trained professional will measure the thickness of a skinfold at seven different sites on the body with a skinfold caliper.
