Question

question 20
the gold standard for determining body composition in humans is the skinfold thickness technique.
true
false

Explanation:

The gold standard for determining body composition in humans is hydrostatic weighing (underwater weighing), not the skinfold thickness technique. Skinfold thickness has limitations like dependence on the tester's skill and assumptions about body fat distribution. Hydrostatic weighing is based on Archimedes' principle and is more accurate for measuring body density and thus body composition.

Answer:

B. False
