Body Mass Index (BMI)
Expert Tip
BMI does not differentiate between muscle and fat mass. Athletes with high muscle mass may have a high BMI but low body fat percentage.
Calculation Methodology & Details
Formula
Weight is in kilograms and height is in meters. For imperial units, weight is converted from lbs to kg (÷ 2.205) and height from inches to meters (× 0.0254).
