2. Body composition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_composition

   Body composition. In physical fitness, body composition refers to quantifying the different components (or "compartments") of a human body. [1] The selection of compartments varies by model but may include fat, bone, water, and muscle. [2] Two people of the same gender, height, and body weight may have completely different body types as a ...

3. Bioelectrical impedance analysis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioelectrical_impedance...

   Bioelectrical impedance analysis. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a method for estimating body composition, in particular body fat and muscle mass, where a weak electric current flows through the body, and the voltage is measured in order to calculate impedance (resistance and reactance) of the body. Most body water is stored in muscle.

   Air displacement plethysmography (ADP, also known as whole-body air displacement plethysmography) is a recognized and scientifically validated densitometric method to measure human body composition. ADP is based on the same principles as the gold standard method of hydrostatic weighing, but through a densitometric technique that uses air ...

   The BRI is a novel body composition test first proposed in 2013, that some experts believe offers a more accurate alternative to BMI that is similarly easy to perform.

7. Hydrostatic weighing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrostatic_weighing

   Hydrostatic weighing. Hydrostatic weighing, also referred to as underwater weighing, hydrostatic body composition analysis and hydrodensitometry, is a technique for measuring the density of a living person's body. It is a direct application of Archimedes' principle, that an object displaces its own volume of water.
