Measuring Body Composition with a DEXA Scan
How much muscle mass do you really have? Where exactly is your fat? And how strong are your bones? With a DEXA scan, P2A accurately assesses your body composition. You’ll gain insight into your body fat percentage, lean body mass, muscle distribution, and bone density, among other things.
That way, you’ll know where you stand today. Plus, you can train more effectively, recover better, and track your progress.
Since a scale only shows your total weight, it doesn’t tell you much about how that weight is distributed throughout your body. That’s why this scan goes a step further and shows you where your muscle mass, fat mass, and bone mass are located.
What Can You Expect from a DEXA Scan?

Athletes with specific goals
For athletes with weight classes, performance goals, or physical benchmarks.
People undergoing rehabilitation

Since goals can vary widely, we always take a close look at exactly what you want to track.
What exactly does a DEXA scan measure?
During a quick and painless scan, we’ll accurately assess your body composition. This will give you insight into various metrics that, taken together, provide a clear picture of your physical profile.
Among other things, we measure:
- total fat percentage
- ratio of muscle mass to fat mass
- lean body mass
- bone density
- distribution by body region, such as arms, legs, and torso
- any asymmetry between the left and right sides
After the scan, you’ll receive a clear report with visual results. We’ll also explain what the numbers mean. That way, you’ll not only know where you stand today, but also where you can make targeted adjustments.

Objective insight into your body composition
Discover what your body is really telling you.
A DEXA scan provides an accurate picture of your body composition. You’ll see not only your total weight, but also the ratio of fat mass, muscle mass, and bone density.
This gives you a much clearer picture of your physical profile. That’s useful if you want to train in a targeted way, recover, lose weight, build muscle mass, or objectively track your progress.
In addition, you can combine this scan with other P2A tests, such as an exercise test, strength analysis, or sweat and hydration analysis. This will give you a more complete picture of your body, performance, and areas for improvement.
