Body composition refers primarily to the distribution of muscle and fat in the body, and its measurement plays an important role in both sports and health. Excess body fat may lead to obesity and increases the risk of getting many diseases.
At BodyTech we utilise the Bioimpedance Analysis (BIA) to assess body composition.
BIA is much more sophisticated than your bathroom scale, but just as simple and almost as quick. BIA is performed in on-site with the help of a sophisticated, computerised analysis. The BIA “calculates” and estimates your tissue and fluid compartments—using an imperceptible electrical current passed through pads placed on your hand and foot as you lie comfortably clothed on an exam table. In just minutes, we’ll have detailed measurements to help create an effective, personalised program for you.
