Thankyou for all your replies, Its seems we are all in agreement, the BMI method has it flaws, is outdated and should not be applied to persons of athletic build.
In fact it shouldn't be applied at all, what about those of slight build, who have a huge belly which bring them up to the top of the normal weight for their height, do no excercise, body fat 23% smoke 40 a day drinks heavily. On the BMI chart as long as they're in the normal weight for height range, no problem, PASS. They are suppose to be less likely to suffer a heart attack then a muscular athlete who acheives over level 15 on the bleep test and trains an hour and half a day whith a body fat of 14%.
As I said previous, and has been mentioned, the body fat percentage is perfect, it tells you how fat you are!, if you are above the normal you are too fat and need to lose it, simple. What's wrong cant we say you "you are too fat" to people. I only have an A-Level in sports science the PTO's all have read a BSc, they must be able to see the obvious?. Why doesn't someone point this out to the powers that be and get the system changed?.
