The DEXA body composition scan is a gold standard test to measure the percentage of the muscle mass, percentage body fat, and bone density. The analysis can be further broken down to compare right and left arms, right and left legs and trunk area. It also measures visceral adipose tissue (VAT).
The information can be used by Armoury trainers to adjust strength and conditioning programs to suit the athlete.
The information is also commonly used for people looking at losing weight, and reducing their visceral adipose tissue, overall body fat and increasing muscle.
