how accurate are body fat calipers in comparison to bioelectrical impedence analyzers?
You can trust the caliper method (when performed by an experienced trainer) and a machine called a DEXA (Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry). BIAs are much less accurate.
The BIA is affected by body hydration status, body temperature, time of day, for exapmle.
