Skinfold Measurement and BIA
Tools and Methods for Anthropometric Assessment
Far too many practitioners try their hand at Skinfold measurement and Bioimpedance analysis without the skills needed to perform the tests and interpret their results. In both cases it is a complex measurement that must take many factors into account. This video course was created by two of the best international specialists, who have been working daily for years in scientific research on anthropometric assessment and are authors of numerous scientific studies.
