Body composition measurement, i.e. inbody measurement, gives an accurate report on the amount of muscle, fat and water in the human body. The measurement is based on the bioimpedance method, where a light electric current is passed through the body.
In addition to weight, the measurement determines the amount of muscle, fat and water in the body. Body composition measurement quickly and efficiently provides a lot of information about the health of your body.
The body composition measurement provides accurate information about all the different ingredients that make up the body: fluids, minerals, proteins and fat. Body composition measurement is a useful way to monitor the internal state of the body and especially the changes that occur in it.
Bioimpedance measurement is a superior method. It reports on the individual nutritional status and health status of the person with an accuracy that is not possible with other methods.
The results of the body composition measurement are considered a good measure of general health. They speak a clear language and help you make smart choices. Through the measurement results, the importance of exercise and lifestyle changes to your well-being is concreted into numbers and diagrams that make it easy to understand cause and effect relationships.
Bodymaja’s inbody measurement tells you more than 40 values describing the composition of your body. The absolute strengths of Inbody measurement are its reliability and clarity. The measurement is always valid regardless of age, gender or size.
Body composition measurement is done with a device designed for it, which completes the measurement in less than a minute. The procedure is quick and completely painless. The results are available immediately.
Bioelectrical Impendance Analysis (BIA) is based on conducting a small electric current through the body through the electrodes located in the device’s handles and base.
Different tissues react to electric current in different ways. The liquid conducts electricity excellently and the fat, on the other hand, acts like an insulator.
The actual measurement procedure with Bodymaja’s InBody 770 device is very fast. During the measurement, you stand in light clothes with bare feet on the base of the device, hold the handles and the device performs impedance measurements at six frequencies. Measurements are taken from five parts of the body: right and left arm, middle body, right and left leg.
The procedure is very easy. The device guides the user forward. Its user interface is in Finnish and measurable so you know what’s going on all the time.
Body composition measurement is often thought of as a tool only for athletes and active people, but it is much more. Anyone interested in their own well-being can benefit significantly from the measurement results.
The measurement gives particularly useful information to those who lose weight and those who do physical work, but the results also help to monitor the progress of the recovery process of various diseases and the effects of aging.
Through body composition measurement, it is possible to identify many types of risks related to lifestyle diseases. The measurement data can reveal signs of diabetes risk or susceptibility to cardiovascular diseases, among other things. In this way, you get an indication to apply for examinations even before the symptoms get worse.
Benefits of body composition measurement for different groups:
1. Dieters and lifestyle changers
Perhaps the most typical reason to come for a body composition measurement is the desire of a person who is losing weight or undergoing a body repair to monitor the results of their efforts. It’s a great motivational boost to see how the pounds drop and the body gets firmer and tighter with each measurement. The biggest benefit of Bodymaja’s inbody measurement is the certainty brought by regular measurements that the direction is correct and all the effort is worth it.
Body composition measurement is a many times more effective measure of success than just following the body mass index or relying on a measuring tape.
The beauty of body composition measurement lies in the fact that it gives results that are always personal and work for people of all ages and sizes. Traditional measures of well-being, such as body mass index or measurement of the waist-to-hip ratio, are always linked to averages. Inbody measurement, on the other hand, takes the monitoring one hundred percent to the individual level. Therefore, it is a more effective way of monitoring the effect of diet and lifestyle changes than traditional methods.
2. Ordinary exercisers
The goal of a leisure exerciser can be toning up, increasing muscle mass or simply maintaining physical condition. No matter which group you belong to, you can get help planning your training from the body composition measurement. Accurate data helps you train correctly and avoid injuries. With the help of Inbody measurement, you can also monitor your body’s possible half-differences and target your workouts where they help best.
Bodymaja’s body composition measurements do not require a gym membership or expensive help to interpret the results. You can visit any of our measuring points on your own, exactly when it suits you best.
3. Top athletes
For elite athletes and other sports professionals, it is of primary importance to monitor the well-being and functional capacity of one’s own body.
Bodymaja’s body composition measurements are made with InBody 770 devices based on patented technology, which are the best quality in the industry. You get a highly accurate measurement and reliable results from us.
Our accurate report is also an effective way to monitor key figures in long-term professional use.
The most important metrics vary depending on the sport, but for example the development of muscle mass and balance are usually things that can be closely monitored.
4. Sedentary workers
Those who do non-physical work benefit equally from body composition measurement. The results help identify the effects of office work-related risk factors, such as prolonged sitting, on the body. Of course, the measurements work best when they are done regularly.
Body composition data can be used to monitor, for example, the amount of visceral fat. Visceral fat refers to the fat that accumulates around the internal organs. It has been linked to diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and several other diseases. With Bodymaja’s measurement, you get accurate information about the amount of visceral fat in your own body.
Visceral fat combined with sedentary work and little exercise can mean an increased risk of many lifestyle diseases. Bodymaja’s inbody measurement gives the opportunity to identify these risks in time.
5. Rehabbers
Are you going through a recovery or rehabilitation process? Bodymaja’s body composition measurement is useful in many rehabilitation situations. Accurate information about body composition obtained during the recovery process helps, for example, in monitoring the improvement of inflammatory conditions. The improving figures bring joy and peace of mind that the disease has really been resolved. On the other hand, changes can also indicate a new need for treatment even before you notice symptoms – this is also particularly valuable information.
You don’t need a physiotherapist, a doctor, a referral or anything other than your own desire to monitor your well-being for body composition measurements. The measurements are easy to do on your own initiative. You can buy them either as one-time examinations or in inexpensive multiple-use sets.
6. Aging people
As we age, each of us experiences inevitable changes in our body. Bodymaja’s body composition measurement always takes into account the age and other personal characteristics of the person being measured.
The most important measurement results to take into account at this age are related to the increasing amount of visceral fat on the one hand and the decrease in muscle mass on the other hand.
When taking care of the well-being of the elderly, inbody measurement can provide valuable information, especially by monitoring muscle mass and body balance measurements.
7. Those interested in the functioning of their own body
Yes, that’s a good enough reason to get a body composition measurement!
Inbody measurement is a technology that allows anyone to get a comprehensive report on their own physical well-being. The result of the measuring procedure, which takes less than a minute, is an accurate and versatile report on the amount of muscle, fat and water in different parts of the body, as well as clear instructions for their interpretation.
