Big and fit: Athletes redefine 'healthy'
Times Herald-Record, NY -
Although various methods exist to gauge body fat, the most accurate are found in labs, says James O. Hill, professor of pediatrics and medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. However, skin-fold tests and bioelectrical impedance, which uses low-level current to gauge fat-to-lean mass, "can be done in health-club settings, and are not terrible," he says.

Body Fat Analysis: We will be evaluating body fat using the Omron Body Fat Analyzer. This noninvasive instrument uses Bioelectrical Impedance Method to estimate body fat volume (mass) and percentage by weight. An extremely weak electrical current will pass through body for this measurement and will not be felt. In addition to your body fat percentage, we will give you information regarding your Body Mass Index which you can use for comparing to statistical norms. Some factors which may alter the accuracy of the measurement include age, hydration, and alcohol consumption. There will be more information available at the CPMC screening booth at Summerthing.
