BOD POD: The world’s gold standard for fast, accurate and safe Body Fat Assessment.
Based on Air Displacement Plethysmography, the BOD POD uses whole body densitometric principles to determine body composition (Fat and Fat-Free Mass), guaranteeing high accuracy and excellent test-to-test repeatability.
BOD POD’s air displacement plethysmography eliminates the invasiveness of Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) and is therefore suitable for frequent, longitudinal tracking of body composition and metabolic changes over time.
You will receive online access to your results (test results, interpretation, and anthropometric data) within one business day. Your results will include your total body fat and fat-free mass measurements.
Please note that, unlike the DEXA scan, the BOD POD test does not provide body fat levels by body part.
Prior to your Bod Pod test, there are a few important things to note:
* It is recommended you complete a two-hour fast prior to your Bod Pod test. This is to ensure accuracy.
* You must not consume alcohol or caffeine four hours prior to the test.
* Attire for the test: Women- compression shorts and a tight-fitting sports bra or bathing suit. Men- compression shorts or speedo. Swim caps are required. The staff will have swim caps available for use, but please feel free to bring yours if you'd like.
* Body hair, particularly facial hair, may skew results.
* Your test administrator will ask your height and weight. You will be asked to sit in the Bod Pod for approximately 35-45 seconds for 2-3 rounds of measurement. You will not be able to move or talk.
* You will be asked to wear a swim cap over your hair, and remove shoes, socks and all jewelry before the test.
