Human Performance
Strength Training Plans
The BodyLogic scan, available on the Horizon DXA system, can help inform individualized training programs for athletes. Today, university athletic programs are using the BodyLogic scan’s Advanced Body Composition® assessment to create customized training plans to ensure that athletes are in peak shape for their seasons.In addition to enhancing the health of the athlete, these tailored plans can also help reduce the risk of injury (1). With BodyLogic scan data, athletic programs, physical trainers and coaches can:
- Provide guidance on how best to avoid new or repetitive injuries before they happen.
- Track progress of previous injuries and surgeries to understand if the athlete is losing or retaining
muscle during the rehab process.
- Assist with the development of symmetrical muscle developments for athletes of all sports.
- Optimize performance by adjusting nutritional and training regimens.
Enhancing Nutritional Plans
The BodyLogic scan can also be used to create personalized nutrition programs for athletes to complement training programs. Using BodyLogic scan data, a tailored nutritional strategy can be developed to prescribe certain intake of foods that will help athletes meet their goals of weight loss, maintaining muscle or gaining muscle. The initial scan can be used as a baseline, and performance can be tracked with additional scans throughout the duration of the training or weight loss program.
