Therefore, it is not as accurate or reliable as skinfold measures. The use of infrared RAYS to estimate the thickness of the fat layer just under the skin has not been proven to be accurate or reliable either. For the average male, lean weight is about 80 percent of the total body weight and fat weight is 20 compatible percent. Females have about 75 percent lean and 25 percent fat weight proportions. The fat percentage for females is normally higher compatible due to the breast tissue. Male and female athletes have lower percentages of fat compared to compatible average because they burn the fat calories for energy and store less fat in the fat cells. Male athletes average less than 10 percent fat and female athletes average about 15 percent fat. Obese people, on the other hand, have more than 30 percent fat weight. This can be a risk factor for various health problems and it is recommended that aerobic exercise and proper nutrition be used to help lower the fat content of the body toward the normal average.
