About the service
What is Compleat BODY test and what does it involve?
During BODY test, we use the Harpenden caliper—the most reliable skinfold caliper in the world—to measure skinfold thickness (sum of 6 and 8 folds in mm) in accordance with international anthropometric standards (ISAK protocol). Additionally, we perform body mass and composition analysis using BIA method.
When is it a good idea to perform test?
Compleat BODY test is worth performing if you:
- want to define your body composition goals accurately and realistically
- struggle with maintaining stable body weight
- are recovering from chronic dieting
- want to optimize your body composition in order to improve athletic performance
Preparation and proceeding
Test takes approximately 30 minutes. Ideally, it should be performed on an empty stomach or 3–4 hours after your last meal. Take with you sports clothing—preferably a sports bra and tight shorts for women, and boxers or tight shorts for men. Do not apply any body lotion—your skin must be clean and dry.

After the tests, your data will be analyzed and presented in a report, from which you’ll learn, among other things:
- skinfold thickness
- body circumferences
- height
- arm span
- bone breadths
- body fat percentage and muscle mass
