Body Composition Assessment
This service determines your ideal weight for:
1) Health, and
2) Endurance Performance
Measurements of skinfold thicknesses behind the upper arm, just below the shoulder blade, and just above the iliac crest (hip), using Harpenden Skinfold Calipers which have been used in many scientific studies.
The results are then used to:
1) determine Body Composition (% Body Fat) using the same methodology that has been used on many of Canada's National Team members; and
2) determine the impact any weight change may have on distance running performance (e.g., 10 km. or marathon times).
An appointment takes 15 to 20 minutes.
