performed in an aquatic environment, as well as to correlate morphological, anthropometric …

Objective To verify the validity of anthropometric methods body adiposity index (BAI), relative
fat mass (RFM) and body fat index (BFI) to estimate body fat percentage (% BF) in …

Background The body adiposity index (BAI), uses anthropometry to estimate percent body
