Body Scans - Best Practice
To ensure a repeatable, reliable measure of body composition, it is imperative to make sure you scan under controlled and consistent scanning conditions.
We recommend the best points of practice below:
Scan at the same time of the day (ie, first thing in the morning before food or training)
Preferably do not scan after training
Keep your hydration and food volume the same
Do not consume alcohol within 24-48 hours prior to your scan
Preferably, do not consume caffeine, pre-workouts, thermogenic aids (fat burners), diuretic supplements or any other caffeine related products prior to scanning
Ensure you are well hydrated
Ensure you are in a rested state and calm (ie, you haven't rushed to get you your scan. Give yourself time to allow your heart rate and blood pressure to return to normal)
Ensure you have full contact with the silver tactile points, feet, palms, fingers and thumbs at all times during the scanning process.
If you are female, take note of where you are in your hormonal cycle for consistency of readings.
