Criterion measure for determining body composition through the calculation of body density.A method for determining body fat where the body is weighed in air and then in water.Method of estimating body fat. Also referred to as underwater weighing.A method for analyzing body composition involves measuring the amount of water displaced by an individual's body, using Archimedes' principle as a basis for determining body volume. This principle asserts that the loss of weight an object experiences when submerged in water is equal to the weight of the water displaced by that object.
