The BodPod is a device that is primarily used to analyze body composition. This is possible through the use of of Air Displacement Plethysmography (ADP) to measure the subject’s body volume. The subject’s overall density (using their volume and mass measurements gathered during the test), relative fat mass, and relative lean body mass is calculated to determine where the subject lies within the norms of body composition (underweight, healthy, overweight/ etc).
