Triceps Skinfold

Описание: Not Affiliated with CSEP - PATH

This video shows you how to mark and measure your client's triceps skinfold site.

You can then use this measurement along with others, in the Jackson and Pollock (1978 & 1980), Yuhasz (1982) or Durnin and Womersley (1974) anthropometric methods to determine your clients percent body fat.

Remember to watch the 'General Procedure for Skinfold Measurement' video

These CSEP guidelines are under constant revision - If you notice any mistakes or out-of-date information, please let me know in the comments so I can update the video accordingly.
