Product Description:
Recommended in Body-for-LIFE and endorsed by the World Natural Bodybuilding Federation, Accu-Measure Personal Body Fat Testers have gold standard accuracy to within 1.1 percent of underwater weighing results! A clinical study published in the Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research by the National Strength & Conditioning Association sited the following key findings: Self-testing of percent body fat with the Accu-Measure was as accurate as results from multi-site measurements and calculations taken by an experienced clinical investigator using a Lange caliper. Percent body fat calculations with the Accu-Measure were within 1.1 percentage points of underwater weighing results.

Rating : - Mediocre tool for assessing body fat
Assessing your body fat is an accurate method of determining your level of fitness and health.

This caliper is small and convenient. However, there are pitfalls. As you squeeze your skin fold, there is some variability from one measurement to the next due to its light construction. It is not durable over time with repetetive use and I question its validity beyond a 1 year time interval. Mine broke a little over 15 months at the 'hinge' opposite to the slide rule.

Conclusion

It is a portable, small tool for assessing your body composition but its durability over time is questionable (as is its accuracy). Use of the tool has a learning curve for accurate assessment.
