In other words, although your weight is getting healthier because you're reducing fat, this improvement isn't being measured by your weighing scales! Body Fat Measurement Thus, some people have turned to body fat measurement (also known as body composition heat zone testing) instead of the weighing scale to measure their weight and fitness progress. But determining the most accurate method of body fat measurement can be difficult, so a recent study published in the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise compared two popular methods of measuring body composition in people who were losing weight. Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry heat zone (DXA) heat zone vs. Air Displacement Plethysmography Twelve overweight women and ten men participated in a weight-loss study. During an 8-week weight-loss program that restricted calories and encouraged exercise, the participants had their body fat percentages measured using dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and air displacement plethysmography (also known as ADP).
