What is Body Mass Analysis?
A body mass analysis is the technique of measurement used when examining the body to determine the percentage of body mass that is fat compared to muscle tissue. You want to know how much muscle you have as it indicates how lean or fit you are, comparatively. Results will vary based on body structure and proportions.
The goal is to minimize the amount of excess body fat you carry around.
One of the differences between Body Mass Analysis and Body Mass Index (BMI) is accuracy. BMI measures body fat based on height and weight. However, it is considered to be outdated and muscle to fat ratio is said to be more helpful to overall fitness and health.
Body Mass Analysis goes beyond typical and traditional analysis, as it can indicate body fat percent and weight, water percent and weight, general body weight, bone mass, basal metabolic rate, body fat percentage, and other body measurements.
Health Benefits Associated with Body Mass Analysis
1. Identify personal long-term health risks
Body Mass Analysis can reveal serious risks to your health like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, hormonal imbalances, etc. All of these diseases, after all, are affected by and possibly caused by high fat stores and low muscle mass.
2. Get advised on a precise plan based on your health condition
Having the ability to reduce body fat will significantly reduce the risk of diabetes, heart disease, and other health concerns like obesity. Your range of motion, movement, and function will be increased because you have more energy. If you are concerned or want to lose weight and keep it off, it is important to start by testing your body composition.
3. Precise Plan for your Diabetes & Obesity Management
Body Mass Analysis gives us an idea of fat distribution throughout the body, which can give us some insight into possible hormonal imbalances, ie. Mid-abdominal spread is common with adrenal dysfunction, whereas a larger mid-section due to visceral fat may contribute to a diabetic picture or metabolic syndrome.
4. Precision Based Fitness Plans for muscle gain and fat loss in specific areas
Body Mass Analysis is beneficial for those who want to lose weight, to track their progress and ensure that they are losing fat mass and not muscle mass or water weight.
We can also get an idea of your metabolic rate before exertion or exercise and see how much energy you are burning, which gives us some insight into your overall metabolism.
By directly assessing your ratio of body fat and muscle, a Body Mass Analysis can help you customize your training/diet to suit your needs. There may come a time when your body weight will stop decreasing, despite having a healthier diet and increased physical activity. This is likely because you’re building muscle, and muscle weighs more than fat.
