The purpose of this study was to compare the Skulpt Chisel™ to seven-site skinfold (SKF) and hydrostatic weighing (HW) body fat percentage (%BF) estimates. Twenty-six participants (aged 24 ± 4 years; BMI 23.1 ± 3.5 kg·m) were assessed. Significant differences in %BF estimates were found for all methodological pairings; < 0.05. The SKF method underestimated %BF compared to HW (-2.52 ± 3.42 %BF). The Skulpt Chisel™ overestimated %BF compared to both HW (3.38 ± 6.10 %BF) and SKF (5.90 ± 5.26 %BF). Limits of agreement comparing HW to Skulpt Chisel™ indicated a difference between 95% confidence interval bounds (Upper bound: 5.84 %BF, Lower bound 0.92 %BF) and for HW to SKF (Upper bound: -1.14 %BF, Lower bound: -3.91 %BF). Regression analysis showed no significant bias for any methodological pairing; ( > 0.05). In conclusion, the Skulpt Chisel™ method should be used with caution when evaluating %BF of adults with similar demographics reported in this study.
本研究的目的是比较Skulpt Chisel™与七点皮褶厚度(SKF)法和水下称重(HW)法对体脂百分比(%BF)的估计。对26名参与者(年龄24±4岁;体重指数23.1±3.5kg·m²)进行了评估。所有方法配对在%BF估计值上均存在显著差异;P<0.05。与HW法相比,SKF法低估了%BF(-2.52±3.42%BF)。与HW法(3.38±6.10%BF)和SKF法(5.90±5.26%BF)相比,Skulpt Chisel™高估了%BF。HW法与Skulpt Chisel™法比较的一致性界限表明,95%置信区间边界存在差异(上限:5.84%BF,下限:0.92%BF),HW法与SKF法比较的一致性界限(上限:-1.14%BF,下限:-3.91%BF)。回归分析表明,任何方法配对均无显著偏差;P>0.05。总之,在评估本研究中报告的具有相似人口统计学特征的成年人的%BF时,应谨慎使用Skulpt Chisel™法。
