The validity of percent body fat estimates by Jackson & Pollock skinfold equation, near infrared, bioelectrical impedance and body mass index
… of four skinfold equation (JPSF), bioeletrical impedance (BIA), near infrared (NIR) and body mass index (BMI) when compared to the criterion method of underwater weighing (UWW). Skinfolds were measured at four sites, the triceps, ilium, abdomen and thigh using the Harpenden skinfold caliper. The …

Are Bioelectrical Impedance and Skinfolds Considered Valid Measures for Tracking Body Composition Following Resistance Training when DEXA is the Criterion Measure?
<p>The present study was designed to determine if BIA and skinfolds could track changes in body composition like DEXA. Fifty male volunteers participated in a 12-week high-intensity resistance-training program. Body composition was assessed using DEXA, skinfolds (SF), and BIA. Results indicate when …

The influence of silvicultural manipulations on plethodontid salamanders
… for plethodontid salamanders. I found that bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is likely not suitable for use with plethodontid salamanders and mass divided by snout-to-vent-length is likely a superior estimate to tail width divided by snout-to-vent-length. These findings further our …
