Hydrostatic Weighing Procedure Hydrostatic weighing is established in medical literature as the most accurate instrument for measuring and monitoring changes in body composition. Body composition measures total body weight broken down into fat weight and lean weight. Too many people are concerned about losing body weight and overlook the significance of the weight lost. By accurately measuring and monitoring changes in body composition, diet and exercise can be fine-tuned based on the body’s changing needs. Briefly, testing involves establishing residual lung volume and land weight calculation. While dressed in a swim suit, the athlete will then be seated on a submerged chair that is suspended in shoulder deep water from a weighing scale above. The participant exhales completely and then is immersed under the water briefly, while an underwater weight is measured. Several trials are performed and recorded.
