How to measure Skinfold Caliper?
The Baseline Skinfold caliper is used to measure the thickness of “skinfolds”.
- Take skinfold measurements directly on the skin – not through clothing
- Pick up and hold the skinfold with one hand – use the other hand to measure the skinfold thickness with the Baseline Skinfold caliper
- Take three measurements at each skinfold site. The final skinfold thickness at that skinfold site is the average of these readings
