Sažetak
The Omron HBF-511 is an inexpensive body composition monitor that incorporates both hand- to-hand and foot-to-foot electrical impedance technology. Current studies of the HBF-511 have only examined a very limited segment of the population and produced varied reports on the device’s accuracy, the accuracy of this instrument needs further examination (Barnes et al., 2008).The purpose of this study was to compare two different methods for assessment of body composition, bioelectrical impedance (Omron type BF511, Japan) and skinfold measurement (Harpenden caliper) as a criterion. Skinfold measurement was chosen as a criterion due to accessibility and its established accuracy Harpenden skinfold caliper are widely accepted as the “Gold Standard” instrument for skinfold measurement (Whitehead, 1990, p.10-14).
