In the world of fitness, achieving the perfect balance between losing fat and gaining muscle is often seen as the ultimate challenge. Enter DXA Duels, a competition designed to motivate and measure participants in their quest for a healthier, stronger body. This innovative competition combines cutting-edge technology with friendly rivalry to create a unique and engaging experience.
What is DXA?
DXA, or Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry, is a sophisticated imaging technique that provides detailed information about body composition. It measures bone density, fat mass, and lean muscle mass with unparalleled accuracy, making it the gold standard in body composition analysis. Unlike traditional methods such as BMI or skinfold calipers, DXA scans offer a comprehensive and precise snapshot of an individual's physical makeup.
The Competition Format
DXA Duels is structured as a series of rounds where participants undergo DXA scans at the beginning and end of each phase. The primary goal is to achieve the most significant positive changes in body composition, specifically focusing on fat loss and muscle gain. Here's how it works:
-
Initial Assessment: Each participant receives a baseline DXA scan to determine their starting point.
-
Nutritional Calculator: Provided for all. Based on the initial results, participants are able to set personalized goals for fat loss and muscle gain, using our “choose your own adventure”’ nutrition calculator.
-
Nutrition Coaching (additional cost): Competitors receive customized nutrition plans, guidelines, and goals, designed to maximize their progress.
-
Final Assessment: At the end of 12 weeks, participants undergo a follow-up DXA scan to measure their progress.
-
Scoring: Changes in body composition are scored based on percent change for fat loss and muscle gain. The participant with the highest overall percent change wins! Prizes given for first and second in male and female categories.
