Magaram Center Uses Most Advanced Health Assessment Technology: Bod Pod

The Marilyn Magaram Center for Food Science, Nutrition and Dietetics offers a modern health assessment tool for the campus and community to utilize. “The Bod Pod Gold Standard” is the newest tool in body fat composition assessment technology, said Family and Consumer Sciences graduate student, and Bod Pod technician, Simona Hradil. The Health Assess Program (HAP) will use the Bod Pod to give athletes and the general public more accurate readings. “They not only know what goals to set for themselves, but also what goals to set for themselves nutritionally,” Hradil said.

Marilyn Magaram Center Executive Director Claudia Fajardo-Lira explained that the accuracy of the test is a plus, but it is also a more convenient method for measuring body fat composition. “It is considered one of the most accurate methods to measure body composition,” she said. “And when compared with the underwater method for body composition measurement, it is more convenient to use.” Read the whole story in CSUN Today.
