Measurement Tips for the Accu-Measure Caliper

* Take all measurements on the right side of the body.

* Measurements should not be taken on broken, damaged or unhealthy skin.

* To grab the skinfold easily and correctly, make sure that your skin is dry and lotion free.

* If you are obese, it is not recommended to take skinfold measurements. It is often useful to take measurements with tape measures such as the MyoTape Body Tape Measure available at www.accufitness.com.

* Do not take measurements after physical activity or when you are overheated. The added fluid under the skin may increase skinfold thickness.

* Always use the same Accu-Measure caliper, and take the readings at the same time of day, for consistent monitoring of body composition changes.

* If you are female, avoid measuring during the menstrual cycle when there is significant or noticeable weight gain.

* Experience is necessary to consistently grasp the correct size skinfold in the correct location. Practice until you get consistent results.

Although skinfold measurement is technically simple to learn and perform, take some time to familiarize yourself with the correct procedure.

How to Take an Accurate Accu-Measure Personal Body Fat Caliper Reading

1. The site you will use for skinfold measurement is the suprailliac, which is located approximately one inch above the point of your right hipbone. To find the suprailliac, put your left index finger on the point of your right hipbone and move up one inch (see fi gure 1).
2. Make sure the slide on the curved part of the Accu-Measure caliper is moved all the way to the right. Place the Accu-Measure caliper in your right hand.
3. While standing, with your fi ngers about 2-3 inches apart, fi rmly grasp the suprailliac skinfold between the thumb and index finger of your left hand. Gently pull the skinfold away from your body. Pull the skin and underlying fat away from the muscle tissue (see figures 2 and 3). Note: If the site contains a l
