Introduction A person's body is made up of many different components. Some of the major components are bone, muscle, organs and fat. The percentage of fat component is of great interest to most of us. It is what everybody is concerned about when they think about their appearance, health, fitness and longevity. Unfortunately, people cannot tell by simply weighing themselves and looking at a height-weight chart what their %bodyfat is or if they are overfat or underfat. Height-weight charts are based on average, and only 50% of the population conforms to the averages on the charts. The charts make no allowances for muscle development, and most people don't really know what their frame is. The only way to determine the amount of fat on a person's body is by actual measurement of their % bodyfat. |
