2. Bioelectrical impedance analysis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioelectrical_impedance...

   Bioelectrical impedance analysis ( BIA) is a method for estimating body composition, in particular body fat and muscle mass, where a weak electric current flows through the body, and the voltage is measured in order to calculate impedance ( resistance and reactance) of the body. Most body water is stored in muscle.

   foot-to-foot machine (BIA-F) resembling a bathroom scale, and a hand-to-hand machine (BIA-H). The Tanita TBF-315 Body Fat Monitor is a common BIA-F instrument in the marketplace. With the BIA-F, the individual stands barefoot on the footpads while a low-level electrical current is introduced into the body at a fixed frequency.

4. Hydrostatic weighing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrostatic_weighing

   Hydrostatic weighing. Hydrostatic weighing, also referred to as underwater weighing, hydrostatic body composition analysis and hydrodensitometry, is a technique for measuring the density of a living person's body. It is a direct application of Archimedes' principle, that an object displaces its own volume of water.

   The measurement of physical dimensions of the body such as height, weight, skin-fold thickness, and circumferences. Body composition. The partitioning of the body into components such as fat mass, fat-free mass, lean body mass, bone, total body water, minerals, and proteins. Most often expressed as percent body fat.

6. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual-energy_X-ray...

   Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry ( DXA, or DEXA [1]) is a means of measuring bone mineral density (BMD) using spectral imaging. Two X-ray beams, with different energy levels, are aimed at the patient's bones. When soft tissue absorption is subtracted out, the bone mineral density (BMD) can be determined from the absorption of each beam by bone.

   The body weights of the students were measured by an electronic scale with a sensitivity of 0.1 kg, and their height was measured with a 0.01 cm precision digital meter. Measurements were recorded in kg on a precision scale (Angel brand) up to 20 grams. Measurement of Body Fat; Skinfold calliper was used
