BodPod®
Measure your body’s fat mass and
lean mass accurately using the gold
standard method - the BodPod®.
What is the BodPod®?
• This state-of-the-art technology
uses air displacement to measure
the volume of the body.
• From this measurement, body fat
and lean mass can be determined.
Benefits and uses:
• Get quick, pain free and highly
accurate measurements of your
body fat percentage. This is the
gold standard for accuracy!
• This test gives far more information
than assessing weight alone. It
can show you where your changes
in weight are coming from; for
example, are you preferentially
losing fat mass and gaining lean
mass (including muscle mass)
with training?
• A good way to evaluate your
training regimen.
• Informs your trainers how best
to tailor your program.
• Informs you if your fat mass
percentage is putting you at
increased health risk.
Resting Energy
Expenditure Testing
Accurately determine your basic
calorie requirements by measuring
resting energy expenditure.
What is resting energy expenditure?
• This is the minimum amount of
calories your body needs to function
when at rest.
• It works by measuring the amount
of oxygen your body uses and
the amount of carbon dioxide it
produces at rest.
Benefits and uses:
• Painless and non-invasive.
• Allows accurate assessment of
dietary (calorie) requirements.
• Informs your trainer and dietitian/
nutritionist how best to tailor your
program to get results.
