Objective Data to Support Assessment and Follow-Up
In health, fitness and sports environments, understanding body composition can provide valuable information beyond body weight alone.
Muscle mass, fat mass, hydration and metabolic indicators can help professionals establish an objective baseline and monitor how the body changes over time.
STARVAC DIAG brings body composition assessment into professional practice through portable bioimpedance analysis.
Who Can Benefit from DIAG?
Dietitians/Nutritionists · Personal trainers · Strength & conditioning coaches · Sports coaches · Physiotherapists · Sports therapists · Rehabilitation professionals · Sports clinics · Fitness centres and gyms · Sports clubs and teams · Health and wellness practices.
Establish a Baseline
Body weight alone provides limited information about an individual's physical composition.
Body composition analysis allows professionals to establish objective baseline data relating to tissue composition, hydration and metabolic indicators before beginning a programme.
This creates a reference point against which future assessments can be compared.
Understand Muscle and Fat Mass
For sports and fitness professionals, changes in body weight can have very different meanings depending on whether they relate to muscle, fat or fluid.
Tracking body-composition indicators can provide additional information to support professional assessment and programme follow-up.
Consider Hydration
Hydration is particularly relevant in sports practice.
STARVAC DIAG provides information relating to intracellular and extracellular water, giving professionals additional objective data on fluid distribution.
Bioimpedance analysis is widely used in sports settings to monitor body composition and hydration, supporting professionals in sports medicine and high-performance environments.
Monitor Changes Over Time
Repeated assessments allow professionals to compare body composition data throughout a training, recovery or professional programme.
This can help provide a clearer picture of change than weight alone and support ongoing professional decision-making.
Integrate Assessment with STARVAC Technologies
STARVAC DIAG can form part of a broader professional approach combining objective assessment with STARVAC technologies for tissue mobilisation and circulatory support.

Integrating DIAG into Professional Practice
INITIAL ASSESSMENT
Establish baseline body composition and hydration data.
PROGRAMME PLANNING
Use objective information alongside professional assessment.
FOLLOW-UP
Repeat measurements at appropriate stages of the programme.
PROGRESS REVIEW
Compare changes over time and adapt the professional approach where appropriate.
Bring Objective Assessment into Professional Practice
Body composition analysis gives health and sports professionals another layer of objective information to support assessment, programme planning and ongoing follow-up.
STARVAC DIAG brings this information into a professional format that can complement the wider STARVAC approach to health and sports practice.
