BODY MEASUREMENTS

Learn about the types of measurements I do in clinics in Malaga, Spain.

BODY ANALYSIS: What an ANTHROPOMETRY and BIOMPEDANCE study is?

In the first session of my nutrition consultations, body analysis is part of it as well. These body composition measurements (5-component anthropometry or 2-reliable Biompedance) will allow us to outline a diagnosis and better define the goals in the short, medium, or long term.
The type of measurement that is among the most accurate in the world is ISAK Level 2 Anthropometry.

¿What an ANTHROPOMETRY is?

In an Anthropometry several body measurements of bone diameters, perimeters and fat folds are taken, in addition to height and weight. They are widely used for sporting purposes, to lower aesthetic or pathological fat and both to adapt or verify whether a diet is meeting the objectives. 
Tools approved by the Association of Kineanthropometry (ISAK) are used: segmometers, bone diameters, special measuring tape, picometer and measuring rod.
Thanks to it we will be able to define your Body Composition in % and kilograms:

  1. Muscular Mass

  2. Adipose mass (fat)

  3. Bone Mass

  4. Residual

  5. Skin

BIOMPEDANCE

Bioelectrical biompedance measurement is a method that evaluates body composition by measuring the electrical resistance in the body to estimate the percentage of fat, muscle and water.
For this purpose, a bi-polar scale (estimates the lower body) and a tetra-polar scale (estimates the composition of the lower and upper body) are used, which is the one we use in our consultations with Sasha Nutrition.

FOLLOW UPS

These measurements are repeated every week, month or depending on the patient or athlete and their goals to see the changes and progress. Whether to reduce adipose tissue, inflammation and thus risks in cardiovascular health, for example; to improve sports performance.
