Ways of measuring body fat percentage. Pt. 2
3. Hydrodensitometry
Hydrodensitometry, or underwater weighing, uses a person’s body mass and volume to calculate their body density. It involves submerging a person in water and measuring the volume of water that they displace.
4. Air displacement plethysmography (ADP)
During ADP, a person sits inside an enclosed device called a Bod Pod. Scales inside the Bod Pod measure body mass, while air pressure sensors measure the amount of air displaced by the person. The entire procedure takes around 10 minutes and gives consistent results.
