Body Composition
The make up of an individuals body composition can be described as the proportion of total fat mass and lean body mass. Body composition is important for both athletic performance as well as general health, it enables a better understanding of an individual’s health needs as opposed to merely monitoring their weight. A person can be of average weight but still have high, even risky levels of body fat. The piece of equipment we use is called the The BodPod it js a highly accurate, non-intrusive, and extremely quick way of measuring body composition. This method provides invaluable information for any client/patient hoping to identify or monitor changes in their body composition for health and/or fitness reasons.
How it works
The bod Pod uses a technique called air displacement plethysmography:The client sits comfortably in the bod pod for a couple of minutes whilst the volume of air within the chamber that has been displaced by the individual is measured and subsequently used to calculate body fat percentage..
Additional Assessment
Due to body composition being a consequence of both nutrition and day to day activity, it may be a good idea to have your resting metabolic rate assessed.
