Another centre worldwide that offers state of the art testing
U.S. Army Garrison Daegu (South Korea) opened a new Army Wellness Center staffed by a team of experts and outfitted with COSMED equipment to assist active duty Soldiers, dependents and civilians in meeting their health and fitness goals.
The center offers a full-range of programs and services including health screening, metabolic testing, body composition measurement, weight and stress management, cardio and a broad range of educational classes.
“It’s important for installations to have an AWC. We’re able to take in everybody who has a fitness or nutrition goal and help them to reach that goal” said Danielle Sprunger, Area IV AWC Health Coordinator. “For example, if Soldiers are running too slowly, we want to help them with their running, their eating habits or maybe even sleep so we can enhance their readiness. We don’t want to wait until they’re flagged.”
One of the most anticipated items at the center is the BOD POD, the world’s only Air Displacement Plethysmography (ADP) system using whole body densitometric principles to determine body composition (Fat and Fat-Free Mass).
“Under the new Army Body Composition Program it is now mandatory to come to the AWC for the Upping Your Metabolism class, metabolic body composition and your fitness test”, said Anna Truong, Director of Area III and IV AWCs.
