InBody Measurement

Contents and Objectives

As part of the offer, a bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is conducted using an InBody measurement device. The measurement allows for a detailed determination of body composition, including body fat percentage, muscle mass, segmental distribution, and fluid balance. The execution and evaluation of the measurement are carried out by trainers from the RWTH Gym.

The goal of the offer is to provide an individual assessment of the current fitness and health status as well as to derive possible training approaches. As further support, a training plan course can be booked additionally.

The measurement is conducted barefoot and in light sportswear, as heavy or multilayered clothing can distort the measurement results. Therefore, we recommend wearing as few and as light clothing items as possible.

For a precise and comparable analysis, the following points should be observed:

• Do not eat anything 2 to 3 hours before the measurement or only consume very light meals.
• Avoid large amounts of fluids shortly before the measurement, as hydration can influence the results.
• Do not engage in intense training immediately beforehand, as this can alter fluid balance.
• If possible, conduct the measurement at the same time of day each time, especially for later follow-up measurements.

Prior registration is required.
