The
BOD POD is the premier system for measuring
and tracking body fat and lean mass using patented
air displacement technology. Developed with
grant funding from the National Institutes of
Health, the BOD POD technology is based on the
same whole-body measurement principle as hydrostatic
weighing (the “dunk tank”). Because
of its high level of accuracy, ease-of-use,
and fast test time, the BOD POD has quickly
become the method of choice for measuring body
composition.
The
BOD POD offers:
- Proven accuracy using whole-body
density measurement
- Fast test time - about 5
minutes
- Ability to accommodate all
types of populations including children, the
elderly, and the disabled
- Safe for repeated testing
and is non-invasive
- Ease of use for both subject
and operator with both audible and visual
prompting
The BOD
POD´s roomy interior accommodates a wide
variety of human shapes and sizes. That´s
why it´s used routinely to measure the
body composition of professional and collegiate
football players, basketball players, and even
sumo wrestlers! The BOD POD has successfully
been used by people weighing up to 500 lbs.
It´s also ideally suited for wheelchair
athletes, those with special abilities, the
elderly, and children. And, because the BOD
POD is non-invasive, it is completely safe for
regular and repeated testing.
Dr. Grazer
utilizes this amazing tool to assist with pre
and post surgery weight loss programs for his
patients.
