BODY COMPOSITION ANALYSIS
Know Your Body Better With Comprehensive Body Composition Analysis
In the pursuit of optimal health and fitness, understanding the intricacies of your body’s composition is paramount. Traditional metrics like weight and Body Mass Index (BMI) offer limited insights, often failing to distinguish between muscle, fat, and water content. This is where Body Composition Analysis (BCA) becomes invaluable, providing a detailed breakdown of the body’s components and offering a clearer picture of one’s health status.
Body Composition Analysis (BCA): A Deeper Look Into Your Fitness
Your weight alone is not an accurate reflection of your fitness level. When the number on the scale changes, it could mean a loss of muscle mass or body water rather than a reduction in body fat. That's why relying solely on traditional methods, like BMI or weight, often paints an incomplete picture of your health.At RAW ACTIVE, we utilize a highly accurate Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA), a non-invasive method that uses mild electrical pulses to analyze your body composition. This advanced scan provides insights into key components such as Total Body Water, Protein, Minerals, and Body Fat Mass, along with four other analyses. These results offer a holistic and precise understanding of your body's makeup, far superior to standard calculators or estimations.
Why Body Composition Analysis Matters
Unlike traditional methods, BCA gives a clearer picture of your overall health by providing a detailed breakdown of your body. It helps identify a healthy balance of fat and muscle while offering guidance on achieving this ratio. This is especially crucial for our personal training services, where tailored fitness and nutrition programs are designed based on your unique body composition data.
MUSCLE-FAT ANALYSIS
The Muscle-Fat Analysis compares the bar lengths of Skeletal Muscle Mass and Body Fat Mass. The longer the Skeletal Muscle Mass is compared to the Body Fat Mass bar, the stronger the body is.
OBESITY ANALYSIS
Body Mass Index (BMI) is an index used to determine obesity by using height and weight. Percent Body Fat (PBF) is the percentage of body fat compared to body weight.
SEGMENTAL LEAN ANALYSIS
InBody segmental lean analysis evaluates whether the amount of muscles is adequately distributed to all parts of the body. Compare muscle mass to current weight.
SEGMENTAL FAT ANALYSIS
The segmental fat analysis evaluates whether the amount of fat is adequately distributed throughout the body. Compares the fat mass to the ideal.
Why Is Body Composition Important To Measure?
Most fitness and diet goals focus narrowly on weight loss or gain, overlooking the fact that two people of the same sex and weight can look entirely different due to variations in their body composition. By measuring your body composition regularly, you gain an understanding of your body’s unique makeup, allowing you to identify specific areas for improvement.
BCA helps you move beyond the limitations of the scale, offering insights into whether you need to build more lean mass or reduce body fat. This deeper understanding is key to achieving a healthier body composition and optimizing your overall wellness.
What Is Segmental Lean Analysis and segment lean mass percentage?
In the Segmental Lean Analysis section, the body into 5 body segments: the two arms, two legs, and the trunk, which can be thought of as covering the area between the neck and legs. There are two bar graphs for each body part in the Segmental Lean Analysis graph. The display of the two bar graphs provides an assessment of your current lean mass distribution.
Segmental Lean Analysis (SLA) compares the kilograms of Lean Body Mass against the average expected amount of Lean Body Mass for that person’s height. The bottom bar (%) of the segment lean analysis is the Segment Lean Mass Percentage. If the bottom bar reaches 100%, it indicates you are at the ideal lean mass in relation to your current weight. Therefore, the length of the lower bar graph indicates the relative ratio of the ideal lean mass for their current weight, while the number beside the lower bar graph shows that ratio. This shows whether or not you have enough Lean Body Mass to support your own body weight, where 100% is sufficient.
SLA provides you with the ability to observe your upper/lower lean balance, left/right lean balance, and lean body mass distribution, segmentally. This allows for close monitoring of the distribution of lean body mass to help determine if the distribution of lean mass is adequate or if changes need to be made.
ALL ABOUT RAW ACTIVE ’S BODY COMPOSITION ANALYSIS
GET YOUR BODY COMPOSITION ANALYSIS IN LESS THAN 5 MINUTES
The Inbody Test uses bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) – a non-invasive electrical pulse/ electric current to measure body fat percentage, and estimate body fat mass and muscle mass. This full body composition analysis is the best way to test body composition and is much more accurate than using a comprehensive body fat calculator.
Unlike home-use models like InBody Dial, RAW uses InBody 120, a medical-grade model that measures the critical metrics in 20 seconds.
ABOUT INBODY ANALYSIS
Our InBody machine offers an in-depth body composition analysis (The InBody scale has been found to be 98% as accurate as a DEXA (Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) scan.) Find out more about your body’s composition such as: Overall fitness score, Water weight, Muscle imbalances, Body fat levels, Muscle mass, Basal metabolic rate, Visceral fat levels, Waist to hip ratio, and much more!
BENEFITS OF INBODY 120 BIOELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE ANALYSIS
- More accurate assessment of your body composition measurements as compared to other non-medical-grade machines, body mass composition tests, and body mass analysis.
- Get your professional Inbody Body Composition Report in less than 5 minutes
- Tracking system to reflect progress over a period of time
HOW BIOELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE WORKS
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) works by running a small electrical current through the body. Different bodily tissues (e.g. muscle, fat, bone, etc.) have varying amounts of water content, and thus the electrical conductivity will differ. This difference will result in different resistance or impedance, which is measured to estimate body fat percentage. Find out more about Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis.
What Are the Benefits of Healthy Body Composition?

How Do You Track Your Progress With Body Composition Outputs?
You can effortlessly track progress and assess the effectiveness of your diet and exercise regimen using body composition. There are numerous essential body composition outputs that you can use to track your progress over time:
Percent Body Fat (PBF)
Percent Body Fat or Body Fat Percentage is a more accurate indicator of your health than your body weight or BMI because it tells you exactly what amount of body fat makes up your total body weight.For a healthy body fat percentage, aim for a PBF within 10 – 20% (for males) or 18 – 28% (for females).
Skeletal Muscle Mass (SMM)
Skeletal Muscle Mass is crucial for mobility, posture, and strong immunity for long-term health. Body composition analysis shows you precisely how much Skeletal Muscle Mass you have in each body segment, so you can focus on building more muscle or correct imbalances to ensure you have a healthy muscle mass balance.
Body Water (TBW)
Your Total Body Water (TBW) is divided into two groups: extracellular water (ECW), which is the water outside your cells, and intracellular water (ICW), which is the water within your cells. A healthy balance of body water is critical for good health. With body composition analysis, you can identify any changes and address them to maintain a healthy balance.
