Abstract

The objective of this study was the comparison of three different methods: skin fold thikness, near infrared spectrophotometry and bioelectrical impedance for estimation of the total body fat. The measurements were made on the sample of 48 young men, 18-20 years old. The results turned out to be independent of the method which was used for estimation of the total body fat.
