Thanks for your replies again, seems we're going slightly off thread with the last post. The point im trying to make is that if a system of recording health is going to be imposed then don't use the BMI for the reasons discussed, use body fat percentage. I can well beleive that any voluntary testing or help would be ignored but this is to be part of selection and annual fitness testing. Can you not explain to the powers that be that the whole BMI recording should be replaced by body fat percentage, if we can all clearly see it why can't they?.
