INBODY 570 – RESULTS MADE SIMPLISTIC
The Inbody 570 demonstrates over 40 parameters that relate directly to body composition and therefore becomes extremely comprehensive, however a unique feature is the scan can become as simplistic as you would like. This is achieved by the muscle fat analysis table whereby it creates three predominant shapes, those being C,I or D. We have aligned these shapes with a traffic light which is uniformly accepted worldwide to acknowledge three predominant reactions
CALCULATED ANALYSIS
BODY MASS INDEX (BMI)
BMI is an individual’s body mass divided by the square of their height. Although a widely used method to measure body mass. the BMI does not take into consideration overall body composition and is inherently flawed. With errors For example, a person with large amounts of muscle mass would be classed as overweight or highly unbalanced when using the BMI measurement.
PERCENT BODY FAT (PBF)
The lnBody 570 can determine your Percent Body Fat, The American College of Sports Medicine suggests a PdF of 10-20% for men and 18-28% for women is recommended for good health. Inbody 570 is important to comprehend that the percentage of body fat is the ratio Of body fat relen•want to total weight not just muscle Therefore if total weight increases (e.g. water or muscle mass. exclusively) then the percentage of body fat can and will change. however your actual body fat amount has not changed. This is why it falls under the calculated analysis To be more precise we suggest we should always refer to the amount of body fat in kilograms as this is the true indicator of total body fat and is much more important to monitor for changes.
THE C-SHAPE
The body composition graph forms a ‘C’ shape. Although the weight can be in the normal weight range, this shape can be indicative of lower skeletal muscle mass and higher body fat mass, which can represent an unbalanced body.
THE I-SHAPE
The ‘I’ shape predominantly provides a uniform measure of body weight, skeletal muscle mass and body fat mass with no one area being more dominant than the other.
THE D-SHAPE
The body composition graph forms a ‘D’ shape. This normally indicates higher skeletal muscle mass with a more balanced ration of body fat mass, which is generally representative of a well-trained and balanced body.
