Body
composition refers primarily to the distribution of muscle and fat in
the body, and its measurement plays an important role in both health and
fitness. Excess body fat may lead to obesity and increases the risk of
getting many diseases. In sports, excess fat hinders performance as it
does not contribute to muscular force production, and it is additional
weight that requires energy to move about.
Our Body Management Specialists can provide
detailed information about your body make up in the form of motivational
charts and statistical reports and also give you practical advice on
your diet, remembering that a diet is a change in eating habits and not
a cut back on your daily food intake.
