Triceps Skinfold

*Not Affiliated with CSEP - PATH*

This video shows you how to mark and measure your client's triceps skinfold site.

You can then use this measurement along with others, in the Jackson and Pollock (1978 & 1980), Yuhasz (1982) or Durnin and Womersley (1974) anthropometric methods to determine your clients percent body fat.

*Remember to watch the 'General Procedure for Skinfold Measurement' video*

These CSEP guidelines are under constant revision - If you notice any mistakes or out-of-date information, please let me know in the comments so I can update the video accordingly.
