Abstract

The objective of this subject was to compare several methods of assessing body composition: dual energy X-Ray absorptiometry (DEXA), air-displacement plethysmography (ADP), skinfold measurements, and bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). It was hypothesized that the parameters of body composition determined by the four methods would be similar. This hypothesis will be tested by comparing results obtained from DEXA, ADP, skinfold measurements, and BIA.
