Elevate performance with body composition testing
Understanding your body composition is essential for any athlete aiming to perform at their best.
Unlike standard weight or BMI measurements, body composition testing reveals the balance between fat mass, lean muscle, and bone—providing a clear picture of your physical readiness.
Why body composition testing?
For athletes, this information is key. Optimising the ratio of muscle to fat can improve the power-to-weight ratio, enhance endurance, reduce injury risk, and support faster recovery. It is not just about weight—it is about what that weight is made of.
What can be tested?
Our comprehensive testing options include:
- Air displacement plethysmography (ADP) – A highly accurate, non-invasive method for measuring body composition—specifically fat mass and lean body mass. The process is quick, comfortable, and safe. You simply sit inside an enclosed chamber in minimal clothing (for men: tight fitting trunks; for women: swimming costume) for a few minutes while the system calculates your body volume. Combined with your weight, it determines your body density and accurately estimates your body fat percentage.
- Bioelectrical impedance – A fast, non-invasive method used to estimate body composition. Less accurate than ADP but provides a quick estimate of body composition.
- Skinfold thickness – A simple, reliable tool used to estimate body fat percentage by measuring the thickness of skinfolds at specific sites of the body.
- Skeletal robustness – Provides an indication of bone healthiness—an important consideration for athletes of all ages and abilities.
Who is this for?
These tests are ideal for:
- Athletes looking to fine-tune performance and maintain optimal competition weight.
- Fitness enthusiasts tracking muscle gain or fat loss.
- Individuals managing weight or health conditions like obesity, diabetes, or sarcopenia.
- Coaches and health professionals designing personalised programmes based on accurate data.
