Chest or pectoral skinfold: For men, get a diagonal fold half way between the armpit and the nipple. In women, a diagonal fold 1/3 of the way from the arm pit to the nipple. Mid-Axillary: A vertical fold on the mid-axillary line which runs directly down from the center of the armpit.
How do you do a skinfold test?
Grasp the skinfold firmly between your thumb and index finger of your left hand. The skinfold is lifted 1 cm and recorded with the callipers held in the right hand. Keep the fold elevated while the measurement is recorded. Take the skinfold measurement 4 seconds after the calliper pressure is released.
