The course will be held at the Victorian Institute of Sport (VIS) and subjects will need to be available from 9am to 4.30pm*

🙎🏽‍♀️Susan weights 70kg and told me yesterday very proudly: I ran 15km and I already lost 2 kilos!

🙍🏼‍♂️However, John said: wait what? I have been on a plan to lose weight for the last month and I just drop 3% on body fat.

Who is in a better position? Is it Susan or John?🙎🏽‍♀️🙍🏼‍♂️

📐Body composition analysis can be done with different techniques and methods, they all have pros and cons. However, the most important thing is to learn when to apply them and why. Which one is the outcome we want to measure?

💧If Susan had used bioimpedance before and after her run, she wouldn’t have been that excited. She is just dehydrated and lost 2 litres of sweat during her run, not body fat. Give her some water and she will regain that weight in no time.

🧈John, on the other hand, has been systematically reaching a caloric deficit to lose 3% of body fat, and probably will be able to check this with several methods: bioimpedance, skinfolds, DXA and so on. So, it is not a quick fix, he did lose 3 kg.

🧐Have you been in this position before? Do you know when to use the handsaw or the hammer? Is your body composition analysis a roller coaster all the time? (I bet you are probably just checking your body weight…)

🪚⚒“Use the right tool for the right job! If you want to cut wood, you use a handsaw. You can’t use a hammer for everything”. Those are the wise words of (ISAK level 4) and are perfectly applied to body composition analysis and sports nutrition.

💧Would you use skinfolds to assess hydration status? What about DXA scans for routine checks on the field? All the methods have pros and cons and at .anthropometry.lab you will learn how to choose the best method for the outcome you want to measure.

🔈Stay tuned for more about body composition analysis.

🤩Everyone wants to be successful until they see what it takes. But to become an anthropometrist can be a journey full of excitement and new experiences. At least it was like that for me!

💚Everything started in 2009 after I learned what ISAK was during my undergrad degree. I travelled to the other side of the country to get certified and I instantly got in love.

👩🏻‍🔬After that, I did a lot of volunteer work to study the relation between malnourishment in children under 15 years and the prevalence of Chagas Disease (What a trip!) Followed by community service and training in Las Lapas, a community close to the beach but abandoned by the government, receiving help from the private sector to be able to learn and build a better future for their residents and their children.

⚽️When I graduated from Uni I became ISAK level 2 anthropometrist and started to work with professional soccer thanks to my mentor and friend (ISAK level 2) and also to (ISAK level 3) until I moved to Australia.

🇳🇿I continued my professional career as an anthropometrist in Melbourne. I had measured hundreds of athletes from different sports: soccer, karate, runners, triathletes, until I became ISAK level 3 Instructor with the best and ,

📐In 2020, .anthropometry.lab was created, to accompany new graduate Australians in planning their career pathway within the health sector, giving support, guidance, training and the equipment they need to become anthropometrists.

🙋🏽🙋🏼‍♀️Are you ready to be the next?
