body composition
We did so many interesting things today - ultrasound, BIA, hydrostatic weighing and DXA - to learn more about our body composition!
I actually had to do hydrostatic weighing for the class... had to go into the chamber/ tube and breathe our under water. Fat is lighter than muscle so we use that to calculate the body density!
DXA is so cool too! After scanning the whole body, ta-da skeleton, body mass, fat mass etc!
Learn a lot about myself... and others lol!
