You're right, I am sorry too. By the way I am PhD in kinesiology, I just wanted to know you closely because I admire a lot what you are doing to promote our speciality. I already have your Email address.
Hi Largo, Arel Emmanuel C.. There are several text books out their with various health and fitness assessments including anthropometric assessments (e.g., Exercise Physiology Laboratory Manual by Beam and Adams). I have not read it, but check out this from the CDC: www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nhanes/nhanes_07_08/manual_an.pdf
Every anthropometric and body composition technique is flawed in different ways. They all simply give an estimate of health risk. BMI is likely the easiest and therefore most well researched. It's also reasonably accurate for most people. Especially those who do not do significant amounts of exercise, which is most people.
Thank you Dr Evan for your extended explanation. You're great person - I wish I can meet you someday!
Thank you. I hope it helped.
Yes of course it is! Can I have your WhatsApp number?

@@VivoPhys Doc, thankyou so much for this reference and your video. Please keep making videos! I hope you're doing well!
I have a question. If BMI has been proven to be flawed, then why still promote and/or use it?

@@VivoPhys Thank you, Dr.Matthews. I just graduated from PTA school, and found your videos trying to study for boards. They’re very informative.
