For following fat and muscle changes at a gym, nutrition practice or mobile testing event. Adds a body-water ratio and whole-body phase angle to the usual overview for discussion during a consultation.
InBody BWA 2.0: when to consider it
The BWA 2.0 focuses on detailed body-water and composition results. Wrist and ankle clamps also allow bedside testing. Its results are especially useful where muscle changes need to be read alongside water changes.
