Using the self-tensioning taping devices.
If a Marine requires taping, circumferences will be measured using a self-tensioning taping
device.
Either digital or nondigital for those who require body fat estimation.
Examples of these devices can be found at http://fitness.usmc.mil Taping directions
for both male and female Marines can be found in Marine Corps Order 6110.3, Marine Corps
body composition program.
Taping Male Marines.
A confirmation height, weight measurement will be performed prior to conducting the
evaluation.
Body composition will be estimated using the circumference-based method.
No substitute body composition evaluation methods are permitted.
All measurements will be taken on bare skin.
The only exception being the female hip measurement.
Using the self-tensioning device, the evaluator will measure Marines at the gender-specific
sites.
The evaluator will measure Marines by standing to the right of the Marine being measured.
Pull the end of the tape around the body part being measured.
Place the rod at the end of the tape into the circular slot.
Press the button in the center and let the tape retract to a snug fit.
Read and record your measurement on the outer edge of the tape measure, or as indicated
with the digital model.
Measurements for male Marines will be taken along the neck and abdominal circumference
at the navel.
Measure the neck's circumference by placing the curved portion of the self-tensioning
device on the right neck muscle, so that the taping device conforms to the natural curvature
of the neck muscle.
The tape will cross the bottom of the larynx, and perpendicular to the long axis of the
neck.
The Marine should look straight ahead during the measurement with shoulders down, not hunched.
For neck measurements, round up to the nearest half inch and record.
Measure the abdominal circumference by placing the curved portion of the self-tensioning
taping device on the right side of the Marine's abdomen.
The tape will cross the center of the navel and be parallel to the deck.
Arms will be straight and relaxed at the sides.
Take measurement at the end of the Marine's normal, relaxed exhalation.
For abdominal measurements, round down to the nearest half inch and record.
The circumference value is calculated by subtracting the neck from the abdominal measurement.
Male body fat percentages can be derived utilizing the enclosure in the Marine Corps order.
