When compared with other metal skinfold calipers on the market, the new SKYNDEX Pro120 maintained its linear jaw opening at smaller and more precise measurements — 8.25g/mm2 to 100mm and more — than similar products. Additional skinfold equations for larger skinfold thicknesses will be developed using the patent-pending SKYNDEX Pro120 device, ultimately allowing for accurate measurements of higher body fat subjects.
The SKYNDEX Pro120 comes with an iOS app that automatically records the skinfold site measurements and calculates both the body fat percentage and fat free mass. An optional Bluetooth Weight Scale communicates with the app and provides a fast, easy and highly accurate body composition measurement system. The app can print a professional custom report that includes skinfold site readings, body weight, body fat percentage and client information based on American College of Sports Medicine guidelines. Reports can be emailed to the client directly from the iOS app, which also features trending, filtering and group reporting capabilities to help manage client contact and communication.
The new Pro120 calipers and accompanying iOS app will be available in early summer. An Android app is planned for release this fall. SKYNDEX will begin accepting orders on June 15, 2014 through SKYNDEX.com, the SKYNDEX catalog and existing distributors. The entire system will be priced at approximately $1,495.
