Home Conference Outline Previous Conference Presenter Application Newsletter	FITNESS & REHAB CONFERENCE is designed for Fitness & Rehabilitation Professionals who want to increase their knowledge, skills and success working with Exercise Rehabilitation & Post-Rehab clients. Become an Expert in Managing Client Weight Loss, Weight Gain & Bone Density Using the New Body Composition “Gold Standard” Technology with Tara Keller, Peter Schwagly and Ruth Foster Workshop Description: It is common for body composition testing to be performed using bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA) and anthropometrics (skinfold tests), however these tests not only leave a standard error margin of 4-5% but additionally, anthropometrics are reported as an invalid predictor of percent body fat and BIA a poor measure as it is affected by body hydration status, body temperature, time of day and does not take into account the location of body fat. For clients, this can make a significant difference in health risk measurement and athletic outcome measures. Until recently, these were the only accessible and affordable means of measurement. Now your clients can access the one test proven as the “Gold Standard” for its precision, accuracy and reliability that no other test can match: DXA Scans – exact measurements in fat tissue mass, fat-free soft (lean) mass and total body mineral (from bones) used by all of the top researchers in body composition. Don’t settle for less! Attain DXA scan interpretive certification to provide clients with tangible weight loss and bone density results.  Learn how to calculate accurate caloric intake, resting energy expenditure and daily caloric needs. Understand metabolic influences, sport performance factors and healthy weight factors for athletes and non-athletes and learn to direct training so that clients reach their health, fitness and performance goals.
