InBody Scan
InBody Scan
The InBody Scan is a non-invasive body composition analysis tool that provides detailed information about an individual’s body composition. It is often used in fitness and healthcare settings to assess various components of the body, such as:
- Muscle Mass: The amount of muscle in the body, often measured in pounds or kilograms.
- Body Fat Percentage: The proportion of the body’s weight that is made up of fat.
- Water Content: The amount of water present in the body, expressed as a percentage.
- Bone Mass: The weight of bone in the body.
- Phase Angle: The cellular health present in the body.
InBody Scans use bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to measure the electrical impedance of body tissues. This technology allows the device to distinguish between different types of tissues, such as muscle, fat, and water. Users stand on electrodes, and a low-level electrical current is passed through the body. The resistance encountered by the current provides data for the analysis.
