Concurrent validity of five prediction equations to evaluate fat percentage in a sports group expected to yield high performance from Medell ín, Colombia

CONCLUSIONS: The Durnin and Rahaman and the Johnston equations, as well as the fivecomponent model, can be used to predict the FP in the study population as they showed a "good/excellent" concurrent validity and a low average bias. The equations analyzed have low accuracy, which hinders their use to diagnose the individual fat percentage within this population.PMID:33761196 | DOI:10.7705/biomedica.5333
