Hydro Densitometry Tank in Mobile Lab

Hydrostatic Body Composition Test
Hydrostatic (underwater) Body Composition Testing is universally considered the “Gold Standard” of body fat testing, to which all other methods still compare.  When you lose weight, it is essential that you lose body fat, not muscle.  Muscle loss can slow down your metabolism, making it even harder to lose weight or become leaner.  Periodic testing will help you track and graph your short and long term goals.  In only minutes, you will receive a personalized printout that will give you the tools you need to succeed. 

The individual is weighed underwater and then calculations compare land weight versus underwater weight.  This comparison gives body fat versus lean mass.  The test is conducted in a hydro densitometry tank in two feet of water that is heated to 93°.
