1. Body Composition: Body composition testing by electric impedance is an accurate measure of body fat percentage (within 1-2 %) and works by sending a current through the body. The premise behind this method is that the current moves at a different rate through lean tissue versus fatty tissue. Women should not wear hose on this day because an electrode is placed directly on the foot. It’s also good to be hydrated prior to this test, because dehydration cause inaccurate elevated readings. And don’t worry, you will not feel the current; There is no shock!
Health screenings are conducted by a Certified Health
Education Specialist or Registered Dietitian. Health Screening Events also
include results provided to the individual, education on exercise/nutrition
recommendations as needed, and a confidential composite summary of screening
results for the business. |
