Examining Various Body Composition Assessment Scales and Strategies

Overview

About this study

The objectives of this study are to

Validate alternative modes of body composition assessment compared to criterion measures.
Examine the test-to-test reliability of commercial bioelectrical impedance analysis using four types of BIA devices.
Examine the validity of a novel field-based 3 compartment model of body composition

Subjects will be asked to complete a battery of body composition assessments during a single morning of testing, including anthropometric measurements, skinfold (SKF), dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA), bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy (BIS), multi frequency BIA (MFBIA), foot to foot bioelectrical impedance analysis (F2FBIA x3) and a hand to hand BIA device.
