Introduction to BIOSCAN and How It Works
At Vision Personal Training, we believe that understanding your body composition is crucial for achieving sustainable health and fitness goals. BIOSCAN, powered by EVOLT 360, goes beyond weight measurements to give a comprehensive breakdown of body metrics such as fat mass, muscle mass, and hydration. By using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), the BIOSCAN provides precise insights that support personalized fitness programs.
Research from the American College of Sports Medicine demonstrates that BIA is a reliable method for assessing body composition, allowing health and fitness experts to create targeted fitness and nutrition plans based on unique body data.
Why Vision Personal Training Uses BIOSCAN
At Vision Personal Training, we know that no two clients are the same, and neither are their fitness needs. Using BIOSCAN, we provide personalized training and nutrition programs grounded in science, offering tailored strategies to build muscle, lose fat, and maintain overall wellness. While many fitness centers rely on general measures, BIOSCAN’s advanced data allows us to track each client’s specific progress over time, ensuring our approach is precise and impactful.
Our commitment to using BIOSCAN technology means that we offer a truly individualized experience, focusing on the metrics that matter most to each client’s health and fitness journey.
Detailed Explanation of the 15 BIOSCAN Metrics
The BIOSCAN provides a comprehensive assessment of your body composition through 15 essential metrics. Here’s a detailed look at each measurement and its significance when you undertake a BIOSCAN :
1. Total Body Weight
This represents your entire body weight. When viewed alongside metrics like lean body mass and fat mass, it provides a fuller picture of health and progress beyond weight alone.
2. Lean Body Mass (LBM)
LBM includes muscles, bones, and other non-fat tissues. A higher LBM supports a higher metabolism, essential for weight management and energy balance.
3. Total Fat Mass
This metric shows the total weight of body fat, including both subcutaneous and visceral fat. High-fat mass is linked to various health conditions, making it important to monitor and reduce as needed.
4. Skeletal Muscle Mass
Refers to the muscles attached to bones, essential for movement and strength. Increasing skeletal muscle mass boosts metabolic rate, making it easier to maintain a healthy weight.
5. Protein Mass
Protein within muscle tissue supports muscle growth and repair. Tracking protein mass helps focus on nutritional needs for muscle maintenance and development.
6. Mineral Content
This measures bone mineral density, important for skeletal health. Adequate mineral content reduces osteoporosis risk and supports strong, resilient bones.
7. Total Body Water
Indicates hydration by showing the balance of intracellular and extracellular water. Optimal hydration is vital for metabolism, energy, and recovery.
8. Body Fat Percentage
Body fat percentage reflects how much of your total weight is fat. Lower body fat levels reduce cardiovascular risk and enhance physical function.
9. Visceral Fat Level
Visceral fat surrounds organs and is measured on a scale of 1-20. A healthy range is 1-9; higher levels increase health risks. Research in the Journal of Obesity highlights the importance of managing visceral fat to lower disease risks (Journal of Obesity).
10. Body Balance
This displays the distribution of lean and fat mass across the body, helping identify areas where muscle development may be needed for physical balance.
11. Waist-to-Hip Ratio
A high ratio can indicate increased abdominal fat, which is linked to higher risks for metabolic conditions, as shown by World Health Organization.
12. Extracellular Water (ECW) to Total Body Water (TBW) Ratio
Tracks hydration balance. Imbalances can indicate inflammation or hydration issues, affecting energy and performance.
13. Area Circumference
Measures abdominal circumference, particularly useful for tracking abdominal fat reduction and improving metabolic health.
14. Bio Age
Bio Age compares physical health to chronological age. A lower Bio Age suggests better health, motivating clients to pursue healthy habits for improved longevity.
15. Health Score
A comprehensive rating of overall health, with scores above 70 considered ideal and scores above 85 often associated with an athletic level of health.
How Vision Uses BIOSCAN Results to Transform Client Health
BIOSCAN provides data that allows us to tailor each client’s fitness journey. Here’s how we use these metrics to help our clients achieve their health goals:
Tracking Progress Beyond Weight: By measuring improvements in muscle mass, fat reduction, and hydration, the BIOSCAN helps clients see real progress, even if the scale doesn’t change.
Customized Workout Plans: The BIOSCAN’s skeletal muscle mass data allows trainers to focus on specific muscle-building exercises, which supports balanced muscle development and metabolism.
Targeted Nutritional Guidance: BIOSCAN reveals hydration, protein, and fat distribution needs, helping our nutrition experts create plans that support optimal muscle maintenance and fat reduction.
Setting Realistic Goals: Metrics like Bio Age and Health Score provide clients with measurable goals. Seeing improvements over time motivates them to continue with healthy lifestyle changes.
