They then expel as much air as possible out of the lungs and then they get submerged until all body parts are in the water. This process is repeated multiple times.
potentially one of the most accurate but person needs to remain as still as possible.
Equipment is very expensive and requires a specialist assistant/s]]> 2019-09-04 09:10:43 UTC https://padlet.com/kaynoble/bodymeasurements/wish/379810200 https://padlet.com/kaynoble/bodymeasurements/wish/379810425 This is used to measure body composition, also in particular your body fat, the equipment used is very portable and it is low in cost compared to other body composition analysis. This method has been more common since the mid-1980s. 
Advantages- It is really accurate compared to other body compositions.
Disadvantages- Your hydration level will impact this if you're not well hydrated. 
Equipment- Bioelectric impendence analyser and this is accurate scientific instrument for research and analysis.  ]]> 2019-09-04 09:11:33 UTC https://padlet.com/kaynoble/bodymeasurements/wish/379810425 https://padlet.com/kaynoble/bodymeasurements/wish/379810529 Direct Calorimetry is a direct measure of heat production. Indirect calorimetry is a measure of 02 consumption and C02 production. direct calorimetry is usually performed using a bomb calorimeter , where food is burned in a sealed container and the amount of heat produced is then converted into the number of calories that the food contains. ]]> 2019-09-04 09:12:02 UTC https://padlet.com/kaynoble/bodymeasurements/wish/379810529 https://padlet.com/kaynoble/bodymeasurements/wish/379810679 Skinfold measurement can use from 3 to 9 different standard anatomical sites around the body. The right side is usually only measured (for consistency). The tester pinches the skin at the appropriate site to raise a double layer of skin and the underlying adipose tissue, but not the muscle. The calipers are then applied 1 cm below and at right angles to the pinch, and a reading in millimeters (mm) taken two seconds later. The mean of two measurements should be taken. If the two measurements differ greatly, a third should then be done, then the median value taken. The sites : (tricep, bicep, subscap, supraspinale, abdominal, thigh, calf)]]> 2019-09-04 09:12:44 UTC https://padlet.com/kaynoble/bodymeasurements/wish/379810679
