No more tape test? Army study to reevaluate body fat program

Thanks for posting this article. We all know someone who fit the category of fat but fit and the opposite thin but unfit. The tape test was easy to administer and pretty accurate but I agree women got the worst end of the test due to normal body composition.

I served with a Staff Sergeant who was into body building, the guy had to tape every time, yet he was the fittest guy in the unit.

In the 10.5 years I was active I only passed one. I was running 80 - 100 miles a week.
