Not Affiliated with CSEP - PATH
This video shows you how to mark and measure your client's rear thigh skinfold site. This site is only used for female subjects.
You can then use this measurement along with others, in several anthropometric methods such as Yuhasz (1982) or Jackson and Pollock (1978 & 1980) to determine your clients percent body fat.
Remember to watch the 'General Procedure for Skinfold Measurement' video
These CSEP guidelines are under constant revision - If you notice any mistakes or out-of-date information, please let me know in the comments so I can update the video accordingly.
