The Chic Shed and INBODY TECHNOLOGY

 

The InBody Body Composition Analysers are one of the latest technologies available on the market for providing effective, reliable and non-invasive, body composition testing. This state-of-the-art technology is now available at The Chic Shed and provides medically–graded technology to its clients.

 

The InBody body composition analysers are user friendly across a broad range of the population.  From children to the elderly, athletes, or those that are interested in the benefits of total body composition analysis, the scan provides a detailed report outlining an individual's measurements in such things as but not limited to:

 

• Total skeletal muscle mass
• Total body fat
• Total body fat percentage
• Visceral fat
• Total body water
• Segmental muscle and fat analysis
• Bone mineral content
• Basal metabolic rate

 

How does it work?

 

It measures your body parts individually instead of as a whole.

 

The technical term for this is Direct Segmental Multi-frequency Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (DSM-BIA). It separately measures the impedance (resistance to alternating electric currents) of the trunk, arms, and legs of our body.

 

This new measurement concept measures the resistance of the cross point of two flows and takes the resistance values of the arms, legs and the body trunk.

 

This technology, developed by Biospace has 50 patented worldwide.
