Abstract
A description is given of a simple, inexpensive and versatile method for estimating underwater weight. The use of a portable stock tank allows the determination of fat by underwater weighing without requiring a swimming pool, builtin tank, or special facility,. Twenty-eight college students were weighedon two separate testing sessions 24-48 hours apart. Ten trials were performed at each session. The mean of the last five trials was used in determining underwater weight. The test-retest reliability coefficient was high, r = 0.98,and most of the successive trial correlations were above 0.99. The mean fat for the women (N=9) was 22.2 +/- 5.9 and for the men (N=19) was 13.7 +/- 5.1. Verf.-Referat
