Level Of Body Composition Identification And Postural Assesment At Vertebre In Celebrity Fitness Solo Paragon

Abstract

Background

The increasing popularity of fitness centers as a means of promoting physical health has highlighted the importance of comprehensive physical assessments prior to exercise prescription. Body composition and postural assessment, particularly of the vertebral column, play a crucial role in identifying health risks, optimizing training programs, and preventing musculoskeletal injuries. However, empirical studies integrating both assessments in commercial fitness center settings remain limited, especially in Indonesia.

Objectives

This study aimed to identify the body composition profile and vertebral postural characteristics of members at Celebrity Fitness Solo Paragon.

Methods

A descriptive quantitative research design was employed. The participants consisted of 40 active fitness center members (20 males and 20 females) selected using purposive sampling. Body composition was measured using Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) with the Tanita SC-330 device, while vertebral postural assessment was conducted using the go-Xpro application. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and presented as means, frequencies, and percentages.

Results

The results indicated that the majority of members exhibited suboptimal body composition, particularly in body fat percentage, muscle mass, hydration status, and bone mass. Male members tended to have higher body weight, muscle mass, basal metabolic rate, and degree of obesity compared to female members. Although most participants demonstrated normal vertebral alignment, a considerable proportion presented with postural deviations, including lordosis, kyphosis, and scoliosis.

Conclusion

The findings demonstrate that body composition and postural abnormalities are prevalent among fitness center members. Integrating comprehensive body composition and vertebral postural assessments as routine screening procedures is essential to support individualized exercise programming, injury prevention, and health promotion in fitness center settings.
