exit Measuring Body Fat Locate the Measurement Site (Mid-Point of the Biceps of the Dominant Arm 1. Have the test subject hold his/her arm straight out, with the elbow locked, and the palm of the hand facing up towards the ceiling. 2. Using the Biceps Locator (shown at right), find the “halfway point” between the armpit and the inside of the elbow, where the elbow bends (i.e. the acromion). 3. Place the end marked “To Underarm” at the point marked “A.” The end marked “To Elbow” should extend past the bending point of the elbow towards point marked “B” in the illustration. 4. Once the Biceps locator is in place as described in step 3, identify the number on the Biceps Locator that crosses the point “C” on the arm. Point “C” is the place where the elbow bends. 5. Locate the corresponding number identified by point “D” in the illustration (e.g. if the number at point “C” is “6,” then find the corresponding “6” at point “D.”) This is the midpoint, or the “belly” of the biceps.

exit Option Screen Three – Entering Bias Adjustments The FUTREX-62 has been carefully calibrated to provide accurate body composition measurements. However, some users may desire to have the FUTREX-62 estimations be traceable to their own reference laboratory (i.e. DEXA, skin fold calipers, etc.) This is done by determining a “bias value,” and entering it into the FUTREX-62. The bias value is determined by measuring a statistically significant number of people (usually at least 20) with both the FUTREX-62 and the other “reference laboratory.” The average deviation between the FUTREX-62 and the reference laboratory is the bias value. Press Key #1 The screen shown below will appear. Press Key #1 to enter a bias value for percent body fat Press Key # 2 to enter a bias value for hydration estimation.
