Although underwater weighing has been regarded as a representative of the criterion reference methods for determining body composition, this technique is cumbersome for screening. The purpose of the present study was to examine the stability of body composition assessed not only by underwater weighing but also by existing bioelectrical impedance equations and skinfold thickness equations during a 4-week period. Ten male and 10 female junior high school pupils, aged 12 to 15 years. volunteered to serve as subjects. Body density (Db) was estimated by underwater weighing (UW), skinfold thickness (ST) method. and bioelectrical impedance (BI) method. The UW was considered criterlon reference method. The underwater weight was the heaviest value that was reproduced twice at least among 5 to 10 measurements.
