InBody measurement
With the InBody body composition analysis, you’ll gain insights into your health that aren’t apparent from your weight on a scale or your reflection in the mirror. Body composition analysis provides precise information about the various components that make up your body, including fluids, minerals, proteins, and fat. It’s a valuable way to monitor your internal body condition and any changes that occur.
At Esport, we use the precise InBody device for body composition analysis. It provides individualized information about nutritional status and overall health with an accuracy not achievable through other methods. The measurement method involves passing a small electrical current through the body. InBody analysis assesses body composition solely based on impedance and does not rely on background information about the person being measured, such as gender, age, or body structure, as part of the measurement results.
Here’s how the measurement is conducted: You step onto the device barefoot and lightly clothed (e.g., a T-shirt and shorts), holding onto the device’s handles. The measurement takes a couple of minutes, after which you receive a comprehensive report detailing your body composition. The report is reviewed with the assessor.
The InBody devices used at Esport include:
- InBody 770 (Esport Center)
- InBody 770 (Esport Bristol)
The measurement provides values such as:
- Body Mass Index (BMI)
- Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)
- Recommended calorie intake
- Body fat percentage
- Fat mass
- Muscle mass
- Body water
- Visceral fat value
To ensure reliable measurement results, it is recommended to:
- Fast and avoid drinking for at least 2 hours before the measurement.
- Avoid alcohol consumption for 2 days before the measurement.
- Refrain from vigorous physical activity for at least 12 hours before the measurement.
- Avoid the use of diuretics (fluid-reducing medications) in the days leading up to the measurement.
- Empty your bladder before the measurement.
