Hello dear...........
Skinfold testing, also known as calliper testing is a commonly used method to determine a clients body fat percentage.
This technique of measurement is based on the densitometry technique (underwater weighing) and the prediction equations are 'population specific'.

Answer:
caliper is used to assess the skinfold thickness, so that a prediction of the total amount of body fat can be made.
- This method is based on the hypothesis that the body fat is equally distributed over the body and that the thickness of the skinfold is a measure for subcutaneous fat.
