The skin fold test can be limited by its reliance on the accuracy of caliper measurements, which can vary based on the skill of the technician. It may not account for individual differences in body composition, such as variations in fat distribution, and can be less effective for individuals with obesity or high muscle mass. Additionally, skin fold measurements may be influenced by hydration levels and can provide inconsistent results if not performed under controlled conditions. Lastly, it may not accurately reflect overall health or fitness levels, as it primarily assesses subcutaneous fat.
