USING CALIPERS
The fat% estimate based on caliper measurement is calculated by taking the average of the spots measured. An earlier method was based on three spots but that may deliver different values for the same "fat to muscular-tissue" ratio depending on the fat distribution over the body; for instance pear- or apple-shaped.
More accurate is the "seven spots method" as recommended by the Am Coll of Sports Med.
