The InBody test
To thoroughly learn about your body and its condition, take the InBody test. In less than 60 seconds, the InBody will show you a true assessment of your body by not only examining the compositions of your body, but also revealing the percentage of body fat, muscle distribution, and body weight balance; components that are key in understanding more about your body.
True assessment
Weight can be misleading when used as an indicator of health. Anyone may experience frustration when their weight shows no change, even with exercise and improved nutrition. Your body is a complex structure made up of different components; such as body water, fat and muscle. Your body cannot be expressed with one simple number.
Body composition is a method of describing what the body is made of, including fat protein, minerals and body water. It also describes weight more accurately than BMI. Body composition analysis can accurately show changes in fat mass, muscle mass and body fat percentage.
Safe and quick test
The Inbody test is non-invasive and pain-free. Safe, low-level currents are sent through the body via hand and foot electrodes. The impedance the currents encounter are measured in order to derive body composition. InBody’s patented BIA technology provides accurate and consistent outputs that are highly correlated with gold standard methods.
Track your progress
Taking the InBody test once will give you a snapshot of your body in that moment of time.
However, taking the InBody test consistently will give you a timeline of your progress. You can create an account to watch your improvements from exercise and diet so your hard work doesn’t go to waste. Once you create an account and complete your first test, you will get a text message to download the Inbody app where your results will be loaded. Any future test will also upload to your account where you can document your progress.
Preparing to test
For the most accurate results, follow these few steps:
- Maintain normal fluid intake the day before testing
- Do not consume alcohol or excess caffeine 24 hours before testing
- Do not eat or exercise for at least 3 hours before testing
- Stand upright for about 5 minutes before testing
- Remove socks, heavy accessories (jackets, jewelry, watches, etc), and any items out of your pockets before testing
- Use the restroom before testing
Testing under similar conditions will enhance reproducibility when comparing tests.
*Individuals with medical implant devices such as pacemakers or essential support devices such as patient monitoring systems must not take the test
