Wondering why your bathroom scale doesn't reflect the effort you put into your physical activity or eating habits?
The answer lies in one simple fact: weight alone is not a complete indicator of your health.
This is where the Centre d'évaluation cardiovasculaire de Laval's new body composition analysis service makes all the difference.
This service requires no queryfor easy access.
Let's find out together!
What is body composition analysis?
Rather than relying solely on your weight, this analysis precisely measures the proportion of body fat and muscle mass of your body.
Why is this important?
Because a kilo of fat takes up much more space than a kilo of muscle.
In other words, you can gain muscle and lose fat without your weight changing significantly.
This service gives you a more accurate picture of your progress and a better understanding of how your body reacts to your physical and nutritional efforts.
The advantages of this method
- A precise assessment Body Composition Analysis: Unlike a bathroom scale, which only takes total weight into account, body composition analysis accurately measures the amount of fat and muscle you have.
- Motivating follow-up Regular analysis will show you how your body is changing over time, encouraging you to keep up your efforts. Your progress becomes visible, even if your weight remains stable.
- Complement with basal metabolic rate measurement By combining this analysis with the measurement of your basal metabolic rate, we obtain a complete picture of your health and energy needs. This allows us to better adapt your diet and exercise program to achieve your goals.
How does it work?
Body composition analysis is performed using high-precision equipment capable of differentiating between fat and muscle mass.
This will enable you to know exactly what percentage of your body is muscle and fat, which is essential for optimizing your lifestyle habits.
To ensure accurate results, it is important to follow certain instructions before the examination.
You are requested to remove all jewelry, piercings, watches, and do not carry your cell phone on you during the test.
These objects can interfere with the sensors used for analysis.
Why is this essential?
If you're making an effort to work out or change your diet, it's essential to understand the transformations your body undergoes.
A traditional bathroom scale may not show you the reality: as you lose fat and gain muscle, your weight may remain stable, but your health and your silhouette are improving.
This analysis enables you to track these changes with precision.
