While a 9-12 percentage is classed as low for the average 20-30-year-old male, the average bodybuilder, in this bracket, would probably consider this to be unacceptably high, even as an off-season measurement. Many bodybuilders, and general fitness exponents, keep their fit kid body-fat fit kid at around 8-10-percent (within striking distance of a competition, or simply to look good year round). Despite being used for decades to measure fit kid body-fat (among the general population and pro athletes), the jury is still out on the efficiency and efficacy of caliper testing. Indeed, other methods such as hydrostatic weighing are thought to be superior. However, in most clinical or applied situations, underwater (hydrostatic) weighing is impractical. This article, therefore, will analyze the different methods, and review the various types of caliper testing, to gain a broader perspective on how they can benefit those wanting to improve their health and body shape.
