How to use Body Fat Caliper?
Please follow the steps below:
Step 1
Always measure on the side of the body. The most effective point is on the side approx. 3cm above the hipbone.
Step 2
Measure while standing. Firmly pinch the fold of skin between your thumb and forefinger, then place the tongs of the meter over the fold of skin while still holding the fold of skin with your other hand.
Step 3
Squeeze the meter together on the pinched area. Repeat the measurement three times and write down the value given on the scale. The average of these three measurements is your body fat value in mm. Look around the diagram for your value and age to set a body fat in percentage.
Notes:
1) The body fat measurement is made in millimetres
2) Where the values of body fat in mm and your age intersect, you can read off the value of your body fat in %.
3) For measurements over 36mm add 0.25% body fat per millimetre
Tips for using the fat meter:
Always measure on the side of the body.
Do not measure on damaged skin.
When using the measuring instrument, the skin should be dry and free from body cream.
If you are overweight, we recommend measuring with a measuring tape.
Do not use the fat-measuring device if you are severely overheated or have been physically active, as liquid can form under the skin and the result could be wrong.
Always use the same measuring instrument.
If you are female, do not take measurements during your menstruation cycle as the body changes during this time.
