BHSU Exercise Science Club is hosting a Body Composition Assessment Event

Walk-in appointment only

BODPOD assessments are the GOLD Standard for determining accurate body composition.

There are some specific instructions prior to coming that you need to follow listed below: 

The surface area of clothing and hair can also have a significant impact on volume measurements. It is very important that anyone tested in the BOD POD wear recommended clothing as described below.

For MEN, recommended clothing is either:

(1) Form-fitting Speedo® or other Lycra®/spandex-type swim suit; or

(2) Single-layer compression shorts (only shorts without padding)

For WOMEN, recommended clothing is either:

(1) Form-fitting Speedo® or other Lycra®/spandex-type swim suit; or

(2) Single-layer compression shorts (only shorts without padding) and single-layer (not padded) jog bra.

The effect of hair is addressed by having you wear a swim cap to compress the hair on the head. Even people with very little hair should wear the swim cap during testing.  BHSU will provide you with a swim cap to wear during the test. 

 **Prior to a body composition test, the subject should use the restroom.  You should not eat or exercise 2 hours prior to testing.**
