As the competition level for student athletics increases, training programs and pre-season conditioning are essential, and so is that student’s health and nutrition.

Moultrie County high school athletes are invited for a body composition testing and meal planning session 5-8 p.m. Monday, May 23 at Courtyard Estates in Sullivan.

Becky Clayton-Anderson owner of Physicians Choice Wellness and Apex Network Physical Therapy is offering the InBody230 testing to determine muscle mass and overall body composition. She is encouraging parents to accompany  their student athlete to help understand the importance of nutrition as a part of healthy training.

The InBody230 body composition measures body fat, muscle mass and muscular development; allowing a diet, lifestyle and exercise program to achieve preset goals. This is all determined standing on two footholds and grabbing two wands for two minutes.

“Student athletes want maximum performance and will do the extra training to achieve that,” Anderson said, explaining the InBody230 can give an athlete a body composition reading at the beginning of the summer and then at the end of training to measure muscle growth.

“Students and parents are investing a lot of time and money in training, and proper nutrition is essential to complete that process,” she said, referring to a recent example with a football player.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
