ISAK Skinfold Calliper Assessment
Conducted in adherence to the rigorous standards of the International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry (ISAK), our skinfold calliper assessment provides precise and reliable measures of body composition. ISAK certified anthropometrists will measure skinfold thickness using gold-standard Harpenden callipers at standardised anatomical landmarks to ensure that data is valid and repeatable, thereby providing useful data on the progression of a weight loss, maintenance, or muscle building program. Knowledge of body composition can aid in injury prevention, mobility and flexibility, exercise performance, and the detection of relative energy deficiency. Also, when measures are repeated across timepoints, body composition assessments can provide clarity on the effectiveness of nutrition and exercise training programs. Â
