The bod pod is an egg shaped device that measures body volume and body weight to determine body density and body fat. Human body weighs 101 gram per cubic centimeter or 1 010 kilogram per cubic meter ie. Density of human body is equal to 1 010 kgm³. Each part of a persons body arms legs chest etc has its own 3d shape individual weight and measurement. Comparison of the stand and conclusions in the foregoing hold true for the values ard error of the mean measured volume for females for adult females ranging in body volume from 47 to 624 liters and males 597 liters leads to a standard. Once your body density is determined through your weight and volume the machine uses this data to calculate your body fat percentage.
6305224 pounds lbs of human body fit into 1 cubic foot. He points out on pg. The volume of displaced water is equal to the volume of your body. Formulae for blood volume blood volume plasma volume x 100100 hct. The 2 recommended gadget is a digital kitchen scale. 73 that in the weight versus volume debate weight wins because of its accuracy easy cleanup and ease of use using weights instead of volume should be a no brainer for anyone.
Body volume means the composition of a person and their body parts. After 12 years of rd bvi is a new digital solution which can calculate body fat distribution. In imperial or us customary measurement system the density is equal to 631 pound per cubic foot lbft³ or 0584 ounce per cubic inch ozinch³. First you step on an electronic scale outside of the device which measures your weight. Research has shown the bod pod to be extremely accurate. Body volume index bvi measurement launched a new obesity measurement for the 21st century which can help identify individuals at risk of illness such as heart disease strokes and diabetes has been officially launched this week.
An increase in the volume of fat and muscle normally corresponds with an increase or decrease of volume in that area of the body. Plasma volume or red cell volume can be determined indirectly if the blood volume and haematocrit hct are known. Our algorithms have evolved into a powerful digital tool which calculates visceral fat waist circumference waist to hip ratio and total body fat via imaging produced using a mobile device. Total body volume is most often found using water displacement or air displacement methods which call for specialized equipment and trained test administrators. Then you measure the air pressure of the bod pod without you in it.
