Body composition analysis
Total body water
The total water inside the body consists of intracellular and extracellular water. While intracellular water is the water present inside the cells of the body, extracellular water is the water present outside the cells. Although the estimation of intra- and extracellular water has its own importance, extracellular water is particularly beneficial because it can provide more information about other parameters of the body. For example, if at any time in your life you suddenly notice an increase in extracellular water inside your body - even when the intracellular water is the same - it may be a problem that needs to be examined. One reason for this could be increased inflammation in the body caused by heavy training or overworking your body. This is an indicator for you to give your body some rest, or if not, you may need to get professional opinions on what is causing the increased inflammation inside the body.
Thin body mass
Lean dry mass is an indicator of the number of minerals and proteins present inside the body. Since dry lean mass does not include body fat content, it helps estimate the weight of the organs and muscles you have inside the body. The normal range for lean body mass should be in the range of 92.4 to 113.1.

Body composition history
This part of the report gives you a detailed idea of your body composition and the many parameters involved. This includes measuring:
Muscle mass, as the name suggests, gives an estimate of the muscles inside the body. Unlike lean body mass, it does not include the weight of other structures and organs and only concerns the muscles present. These can include all kinds of muscles, whether striated or smooth. Hence, if at some point you notice an increase in dry lean mass, it may be because you have been training and gaining muscle mass.
Human body weight is the measurement of the mass present in a person's body. It represents the weight of a person without their clothes, shoes, accessories and is only interested in what makes an individual. Average human weight values fall within the range of 113.8 to 153.9 Kg, and if an individual falls outside of these values, they may be considered overweight or underweight.
Muscle fat analysis helps you evaluate how your weight, body fat, and skeletal mass compare to others of the same gender and height as you. It helps you analyze where your current body composition is and what changes you need to make to achieve your target goals. Since this part of the report is quite easy to understand and helps individuals understand their body composition accurately, it is often the favorite section of the report for many.
The three basic components involved in muscle fat analysis include:
As discussed previously, weight indicates the total mass that a body contains and represents the total weight of individuals without their clothing, shoes, and accessories.
Skeletal muscle mass, which may also be referred to as SMM in your report, represents the total weight of skeletal muscle present inside your body. Skeletal muscles are different from other forms of muscles and are those that often grow after exercise. Hence, an increase in the value of skeletal muscle mass will let you know that your workouts have been successful and that you have gained muscle mass. This is more specific than lean body mass, which, although it contains skeletal muscle weight, also includes other body parameters, which can give an inaccurate increase in skeletal muscle alone.
Body fat represents the total amount of fat present in the body, including both internal fat and surface fat. An increase in body fat will tell you that you have been consuming an increased amount of fatty foods in your diet. This, in turn, will allow you to make specific changes to your diet to help you get closer to your body shape and your target weight.
Muscle fat analysis can help you assess muscle volume, fat, and obesity risk. You can do this by comparing your specific reading and measurements to others of the same height and gender using their data via a bar graph. Hence, if you see a percentage of 100%, that would mean that your readings are within the average readings of people of your gender and height. However, if it is above 100%, it would mean that your readings are higher than the average readings of the people around you. For example, if you score 150%, that would mean you are 50% above average and needed to make lifestyle changes to help you meet the recommended measures. On the other hand, if your readings show a percentage of 60%, that will mean that you are 40% below the average of individuals with your gender and height, and you need to make changes to your lifestyle to gain the mass necessary to maintain the health of your body.
Type “C”
A “C” type body shape occurs when the bar length of skeletal muscle mass is shorter than body fat and your total weight – which in turn forms a C. This body shape type can be telling of obese individuals, or overweight, average, or even underweight, based on where their measurements are located on the chart. The basic concept behind a Type C body shape is that the amount of skeletal muscle in your body is less than it should be. Therefore, people with this body shape are recommended to increase their skeletal muscle mass and reduce body fat mass.
Type “I”
A type "I" body shape is when the weight length, body fat, and skeletal muscle mass bars form a straight line - which is considered to form the letter I. People with this body shape usually have healthy levels of body fat, and their weight is also within the normal range. This shows that your body's muscles and fat are proportional, and unlike the Type C body shape, no one is higher than the other, and no one is lower. However, they are still required to work on their health and maintain this body shape by regulating their diet and lifestyle. By continuing your workout or diet, you may be able to gain muscle or reduce body fat more effectively.
Type “D”
A “D” type body shape occurs when the bar length of skeletal muscle mass is longer than total body fat and weight – which in turn forms a D. Since this body shape type indicates an excessive presence of skeletal muscle, which is higher in proportion to body fat and weight, it represents the body of someone who exercises regularly. Therefore, the type D body shape is typical of athletes, boxers, and wrestlers. Normally, body fat and weight bars are in the average range or below average with much higher skeletal muscle mass, but if their values are above normal, one should try to reduce their mass fat and weight to bring it within the normal range. This is especially important for people who want to maintain their physique and strength long-term, as they must maintain their skeletal muscle mass much higher than their body fat to achieve this. However, it's also important to make sure you don't lose too much weight and become too skinny, as this can also have a deleterious effect on your overall body strength.
Obesity analysis consists of a few basic parameters, which include body fat percentage, body mass index, hip and hip ratio, basal metabolic rate, and visceral fat levels. Obesity analysis allows you to understand the current levels of obesity in your body and the potential risk of obesity-related diseases in the future.
Body fat percentage is calculated by dividing your total body fat by your weight and is considered different for men and women. This is because women generally have more body fat than men. This is due to the unique reproductive systems of both sexes and the specific role of genetics. Generally, the healthy range of body fat percentage is 10 to 20% for men, while, for females, it is in the range of 18 to 28%.
Body fat percentage can also vary depending on age. For example, studies have shown that people aged 20 to 39 may have a body fat percentage of 21 to 32% in females, while in males it may be 8 to 19%. Those in the age ranges of 40 to 59% have a body fat percentage between the ranges of 23 to 33%, while that of men is between 11 to 21%. Additionally, those in the age range of 60 for 79% have a body fat percentage of 24 for 35% in females and 13 for 24% in men.
Body mass index, which is also known as BMI, is a prediction of your body size. BMI is calculated by combining your height with your weight. This screening tool lets you know if you are underweight or overweight. Therefore, the basic principle of calculating body mass index is whether your weight is in good proportion to your height. This is particularly important because if an individual is outside of their ideal body weight, they may have an increased risk of different health-related conditions, which may predispose them to hypertension and obesity.
Waist/hip report, which can be presented as WHR in the report, is an accurate prediction of measuring the ratio of waist to hip circumference. It can be calculated by dividing your waist measurement by your hip measurement. An example of this is an individual with a 40 inch waist and 48 inch hips who will have a waist-to-hip ratio of 0.78.
Basal metabolic rate, also called BMR, is the amount of energy an individual expends while resting. This is particularly important because the energy one needs during a resting phase is the energy needed to keep one's body functioning even when it may seem like the person does not need energy. These processes which require energy during a resting state include breathing, maintaining blood circulation, and even cell growth.
There are two types of fat in the body, which include subcutaneous fat and visceral fat. As the name suggests, while subcutaneous fat is the type of fat found on the outer surface of the body, visceral fat is more internal and closer to the viscera of the blood. By showing visceral fat levels, the reports help you determine how much unhealthy fat you have in your body. The normal range for visceral fat is between 1 in 10 in the majority of adults. Since visceral fats are closely associated with cardiovascular exercise, people who engage in higher levels of exercise will find less visceral fat in their bodies. It can also be a great progress indicator for those trying to lose body fat
Body fat percentage vs. Basic metabolic index for obesity risk estimation
Body fat percentage is a more accurate estimate of obesity compared to the basic metabolic index. This is because the body mass index is calculated by dividing your total weight by your height squared and is a single value that does not effectively differentiate between muscle mass and total body fat. Hence, if you use your body mass index to estimate changes in your body or the effectiveness of your diet or workout, you will never be able to know if the changes were in the mass of your muscles or the volume of fat in the body.
The Body Composition History section of the report consists of three charts, which include weight, muscle mass, and body fat percentage. The basic purpose of body composition history is to allow you to track your progress over time. What makes this particularly unique is that you can not only track your progress and see how your body has changed, but do it in much more detail, where you can completely understand how different parameters of your body have changed. For example, although weight is commonly used as a way to track one's health journey, it does not indicate how much of the weight lost came from muscle mass and how much from fat. With the Visbody R Explorer, you can track your weight, as well as changes in your muscle mass and body fat percentage.
Give meaning.
We can further classify changes in body composition history charts into positive and negative body changes. A positive change will show an increase in muscle mass over time as well as a reduction in body fat percentage. This is considered positive progress and lets you know that you have made progress towards improving overall body composition over time. This is important because it lets you know that regardless of diet or ritual of exercise that you have been following, it is working for you., and you should continue on this path.
On the other hand, negative body change will show a loss of muscle mass and an increase in body fat percentage. This is considered negative progress and may be associated with an increase in weight, or it may remain unchanged. Body composition history results can be a revelation to many, as it can show that sometimes weight loss can be caused by unchanged body fat but muscle loss, while sometimes an increase in weight can be caused by low body fat but increase muscle mass.
Postural analysis report
Postural analysis report
The Posture Analysis Report section will begin by presenting you with a visual image of the front, left, right, and upper body to help you visualize your posture. This report helps you determine and evaluate your muscle length, joint mobility, and muscle control. An individual whose posture has changed may be due to an imbalance in their muscles or an alteration in their joint position. This can not only make them more prone to accidents like tripping, but also cause them pain and disrupt their daily lives. Although a posture analysis is important for every individual who has noticed a gradual change in their posture, even While this may seem minor - it is absolutely essential for sportsmen or sportspeople. This is because an altered posture can greatly interfere with their performance and may not allow them to move as freely as they want.
Posture analysis reports include the following parameters:
Forward head posture
Forward head posture is when the cheekbones are in front of the sternum.
Hidden risks
Tilting your head forward is an unnatural posture that puts excessive pressure on the cervical spine. As the anterior tilt increases, the weight of the cervical spine also increases accordingly. There are some feelings you may often experience, such as uncomfortable neck and shoulders, frequent choking when eating or drinking, jaw joint pain when chewing, and throat mute easily when speaking or singing for a long time. These phenomena are linked to the tilt of the head. Not necessarily related, but often related.
The reason for this situation
Lifestyles such as sitting for a long time and playing with cell phones are the direct reasons. In fact, on a deeper level, overuse and dependence on vision is a significant reason for head tilt. Whether using a computer, playing on a cell phone, or reading a book, we are in a state of postural feedback primarily through vision for a long time. Overtime, the proprioception of the vestibule and neck will gradually degenerate.
Head tilt
The head is tilted to one side, or it can be tilted alternately to both sides.
Hidden risks
Due to changes in the muscles and joint lines of force, lateral deviation occurs, and the force on the cervical spine increases, which will cause cervical spine pain; In addition, the deviated neck can also compress blood vessels and nerves, causing dizziness, numbness in the arms, etc.
The reason for this situation
It has something to do with your usual head posture. If you usually have pain on one side of your cervical spine, this will affect that too. In addition, trauma and habits are also the cause of cervical spine tilt.
Rounded Shoulder Posture (Right and Left Side)
Round shoulders mean that the shoulders are bent forward and curled inward, the chest is retracted, and the shoulders form a semicircular arc-shaped physiological posture. It may also be called "Upper Cross Syndrome."
Hidden risks
In addition to causing irregular body posture, round shoulders will also affect your upper body workout and directly affect your health. Since the shoulders cannot be fully opened, the range of motion of the shoulders will also become very reduced, much of your upper body training, such as bench press, rowing, neck, and arm flexion and extension, etc., may not be well filled, and it is easy to do Injured in sports.
The reason for this situation
Long-term work or study in the office will cause the pectoralis major in the chest to shorten and lose elasticity, pulling the shoulders to tighten inward. The rhomboid muscle of the back is just the opposite. Due to being stretched for a long time, it becomes very long and eventually weakens, unable to pull the scapula to contract in the direction of the spine.
Practice the chest but not the back. During physical training, the individual only trains their chest but not their chest, they have developed chest muscles, but their back muscles are very weak. The serious imbalance of front and rear muscle strength causes the powerful pectoral muscles to pull the shoulder blades forward. Overtime, the entire shoulder becomes a semicircle forward and inward, naturally resulting around of the shoulder.
Uneven shoulder
Uneven shoulders are when one of your shoulders is higher than the other. The difference between the two shoulders could be very minimal, or it could be to the extent that it is noticeable to those around you.
Hidden risk
Having an uneven shoulder can put a person at increased risk of neck, shoulder, and back pain due to the imbalance of muscles the difference between two shoulders causes. It can also cause muscle tension and pulling if the difference between the two shoulders is large.
The reason for this situation
The reason that can cause uneven shoulders includes using one side of your body more than the other, carrying a heavy bag on the same side of the body for long periods of time, or it can be caused by muscular and skeletal abnormalities of development.
Anterior pelvic tilt
Anterior pelvic tilt is when the pelvis is tilted forward.
Hidden risk
The forward tilt of the pelvis causes increased traction on the spine, which ultimately causes the spine to experience an exaggerated curvature. This can cause severe hip and back pain and, if not corrected immediately, can lead to devastating circumstances in the long term.
The reason for this situation
Anterior pelvic tilt can be caused by sitting in the same position for very long periods of time without undergoing proper stretching or regular exercise.
Posterior pelvic tilt
Posterior pelvic tilt is caused by the movement of the pelvis, where we see the front raise while the back of the pelvis lowers.
Hidden risk
Since this tilt of the pelvis puts a lot of pressure on the lower back, it can lead to the development of chronic pain throughout the body and cause conditions such as sciatica.
The reason for this situation
Posterior pelvic tilt can be caused by postures that involve slouching, as this not only affects the bones in the pelvic region but also causes weakness in the muscles.
Left and Right Knee Assessment
Hyperextension or flexion of the knees can cause serious discomfort; therefore, it is important to obtain a regular knee assessment on both sides.
Hidden risk
Changes in knee position can lead to changes in the mechanical structure of the muscle and ligaments surrounding the knee joint. This can lead to muscle pain and changes in leg movement.
The reason for this situation
This can be caused by the inability of the muscles to lengthen or shorten in response to knee movement. However, this may not only be limited to muscular changes, but may also be associated with deformities of the bone, ligaments, and capsules surrounding the knee.
Leg type
It is important to identify the type of leg so that intervention and protective measures can be taken beforehand. For example, bow legs are when the legs curve outward at the knee location while the feet and ankles touch.
Hidden risk
An abnormal leg type can lead to overall leg dysfunction. It can also increase the chances of injury, especially to the knee joints.
The reason for this situation
Leg abnormalities usually develop before birth due to rotation or twisting of the bones in the small space of the uterus.
Body Circumferences Report
The Body Circumference report includes circumference measurements of different body regions in a single report. Common areas measured by this scan include the left arm, right uppoer arm, chest, waist, hip, left thigh, right thigh, left calf, and right calf. You can also use this report to compare your current body circumference to previous ones.
