What areas can cause error when performing body composition evaluation using the bioelectric impedance method?
a. skill of the person performing the procedure
b. hydration and time of last exercise session
c. improper entry of measurements in the equation
d. using incorrect locations for the caliper measurement
Answer: b. hydration and time of last exercise session.
Hydration and time of last exercise session can cause error when performing body composition evaluation via bioelectric impedance. The other answers apply to other methods of determining body composition, such as the skinfold method.
