The InBody 570 is a state-of-the-art body composition analyzer that measures various components of your body, including muscle mass, body fat percentage, and total body water. It operates by sending a safe, low-level electrical current through the body, known as bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), to accurately assess body composition without the need for empirical estimations.

To achieve the most accurate measurements, it is important to follow a few guidelines before your InBody test. Maintain your normal fluid intake the day before the test, and stand upright for at least five minutes prior to the procedure. Make sure to remove socks, shoes, and any heavy accessories such as jewelry or watches. It’s also recommended to use the restroom before the test and to avoid eating or exercising for at least three hours beforehand. Additionally, try to refrain from consuming alcohol or excessive caffeine for at least 24 hours prior to the test. Finally, make sure your hands and feet are clean and dry, and avoid applying any lotion or ointment before the test. Following these steps will help ensure accurate and consistent results.

The frequency of testing depends on your individual goals and programs. Generally, it's recommended to take the InBody test every 2-4 weeks to effectively monitor changes in body composition and adjust your fitness or nutrition plans accordingly. For longer term monitoring, a test every 8-12 weeks is appropriate.

The test is not recommended for individuals with implanted electronic medical devices, such as pacemakers, as the electrical currents used during the analysis may interfere with the functionality of the device. Additionally, pregnant women are advised against taking the test due to potential inaccuracies caused by bodily changes during pregnancy. Individuals with prosthetic limbs should also avoid the InBody test, as the device requires contact with natural limbs for accurate measurements. If you fall into any of these categories, please consult with your healthcare provider before taking the test.
