Body Composition Testing

Students $5; Non-students $10
Appointment required

What is body composition analysis?
Simply stated it is an estimation of what your body weight is made up of in terms of lean mass and fat mass. There are several methods of assessing body composition. The Fitness & Wellness Center uses a 7-site, skinfold method.

What can you expect at your appointment?
You will want to wear shorts and a t-shirt and have clean, dry skin. A fitness technician will take skinfold measurements from predetermined sites. The results will be calculated, reviewed, and explained to you. The appointment typically takes about 15 minutes.

Note: Body composition is also included in our Fitness Testing
