recommendation or more frequently based on use, and document all equipment calibration. skinfold
calipers should be regularly checked for accuracy and sent to the manufacturer for calibration when
needed.
- ensure a room temperature between 68-72 and humidity of less than 60% w/ adequate airflow
measurements to be obtained first in a fitness test - ✔✔-resting measurements like HR, BP, height,
