Body Composition Assessment

Description

Comprehensive Body Composition Measurement Service

Our Body Composition Measurement Service provides an in-depth analysis of your body composition, focusing on determining your body fat percentage, fat mass, lean mass, and muscle mass. This comprehensive evaluation is designed to help you understand your body composition and establish whether it is optimal for your health and performance goals.

What the Assessment Includes

The assessment utilizes anthropometric measurements, which are essential for accurately assessing body composition. The following measurements are taken during the evaluation:

• Height and Weight: Basic metrics that provide a foundation for further analysis.
• Circumferences: Measurements of 11 different body circumferences to assess fat distribution.
• Skinfold Thickness: Measurements from 10 specific skinfold sites to estimate body fat percentage.
• Widths: Two width measurements to further refine body composition analysis.

Each assessment lasts approximately 45 minutes and includes a precision measurement to establish a specific margin of error, ensuring that changes in body composition can be accurately tracked over time.

Alignment with ISAK Standards

Our measurement protocol is partially based on the guidelines established by the International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry (ISAK). This ensures that our methods are consistent with international standards for anthropometric assessment, providing reliable and valid results. ISAK’s accreditation scheme emphasizes quality assurance, requiring that all measurements adhere to strict technical error of measurement (TEM) standards.
