Popis:	Body weights and skinfold measurements were determined in ten varsity, four freshmen basketball players and 12 hockey players before and after a season of play in their respective sport (total, 26 athletes). The men maintained relatively constant body weight but a redistribution of weight was evident from the skinfold findings. The men lost subcutaneous fat in the three skinfold sites measured. Attention is focused on the skinfold method as one deserving of more attention in physical education research. The skinfold procedure is a rapid, reasonably precise, and inexpensive method for estimating body fat.
