Body Composition Analysis
understanding your personal health and lifestyle
Here at 8th Element, we use the most accurate Bio Electrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) machine, in order to supply you with extremely accurate measurements of your body composition, (e.g. Body fat%, lean muscle%, Water content, metabolic rate, etc.)
In recent years, the examination of the human body composition has grown in its use and importance in such fields as medicine, fitness assessments, sports and nutrition.
Every athlete strives to achieve their peak fitness and performance, and their body composition will play a huge role in that. If the athlete is on a diet or is in hard training, keeping track of their lean muscle%, fat% and water content is vital. If weight gain is their goal, body composition analysis, can determine if it is lean muscle or fat that they are gaining - if it is fat, then their diet and training can be amended to reduce their fat weight but increase their muscle weight. Doing so will greatly improve their chances of achieving peak performances.
Keeping track of hydration levels is also very important.
Although Body composition analysis is an amazing tool for athletes, it is also a great tool for keen fitness personnel. It can be used from tracking improvements in body builders to identifying specific differences in clients whom are on a diet and wish to see pre and post differences. This can benefit over-weight people, as it is important to ensure that lean body mass is not lost during a weight-reducing diet and exercise program. This is because it is lean mass that burns the kilocalories, as well as this; it is rich in potassium which is vital in maintaining a healthy well nourished body.
