Device |
plethysmograph, air displacement for body composition analysis |
Regulation Description |
Impedance plethysmograph. |
Definition |
To measure the total body volume and weight for calculating the estimated body composition (total body fat and total body lean mass). |
Physical State |
An air-tight, dual compartment fiberglass and plexiglas chamber that the subject enters |
Technical Method |
Uses Boyle's law in conjunction with the two precisely-sized compartments to determine the volume occupied by the subject's body. Average total body density is calculated from the weight and volume determined by the device. Empirical equations, as a function of density of known tissue types, are then used to estimate body composition parameters. |
