Shredded and Science
A Scientific Approach to Your Health and results
At Shredded we use a specialised software for body composition analysis, once known as Bio Signature, Bio Print and Metabolic Analytics - known to most as Skinfolds. This software was developed, designed and refined by world renowned Strength Coach, Charles Poliquin himself.
Having studied anthropometry as part of Exercise Science and completing countless courses with Charles Poliquin, Kelly is one of the very few in Australia who has done over ten thousand measurements in her career. You can rest assured she is extremely accurate with her measurements.
Skinfolds measurements
This method has been applied to elite level athletes to improve their performance and body composition, physique competitors who want to achieve a much leaner physique and also everyday clients who have a fitness or health goal they want to achieve.
In addition to a comprehensive report on your results, we also provide you with calorie recommendations dependent on your goals and macronutrient allocation.
What to expect
When analysing your results based on the measurements from your skinfolds a specific nutrition and supplementation protocol can be applied. Skinfold testing identifies hormonal and metabolic deficiencies based on your body fat distribution over 14 different sites.
The following 14 sites are tested during this process:
Chin, Cheek, Pec, Biceps, Triceps, Sub-scapular, Upper back, Australian, Lower back, Midaxillary, Suprailiac, Hips, Umbilical, Abdominal, Knee, Calves, Quads/Thigh, Hamstrings.
What should I wear to a skinfolds appointment?
To ensure an accurate assessment, appropriate clothing is required. We need access to your skin for precise results, so please wear loose fitting clothes and shorts. For females, a sports bra is recommended.
Once we have completed your measurements on all 14 sites, we then analyse the following 5 areas:
Insulin
How well the body tolerates carbohydrates and how efficient glucose is cleared from the blood stream.
Gut Function
How well your body digests and absorbs nutrients from the food you consume.
Stress, recovery, adrenals
How your body deals with stress, sleep, energy levels, and adrenal function.
Estrogen
How well your body clears environmental toxins and foreign estrogens.
Androgen
How well your body uses testosterone.
Body Composition scan
The Evolt 360 body composition scanner, what we call the intelligent body scanner, is a simple-to-use 60-second scan that provides detailed data about a body through more than 40 measurements. It works simply by passing a safe electrical current through the feet and hands.
Used in unison with the Evolt 360 Active app it provides you with measurements of body composition, including lean body mass, body fat mass & percentage, skeletal muscle mass, visceral fat level, fitness age, fitness score plus much more.
