The main aim of the paper is to successfully set up two unique, redundant methods of measuring both body fat and hydration and compare these measurements to a commercial device.With two variables each for body fat and hydration we hope to obtain a highly precise measurement of both body fat and hydration measurements. An accurate and precise hydration in particular could prove to be very valuable for athletes such as marathon runners, and patients who are suffering from hydration or otherwise need this vital to be closely monitored.
