Ski stronger and safer with DEXA scans. Learn how KALOS helps skiers optimize performance, track recovery, and prevent injury with detailed body composition data.
Whether you’re carving through fresh powder or flying down black diamonds, skiing is a full-body sport that demands strength, balance, and endurance. To perform at your best—and avoid common injuries—it’s essential to understand your body composition in detail. That’s where the DEXA Scan comes in.
At Kalos, our advanced DEXA Scan San Francisco service gives skiers a clear view of their muscle balance, fat distribution, and bone health—allowing for data-driven training, recovery, and injury prevention.
Skiing places unique demands on your legs, core, and stabilizers. A typical weight scale or BMI reading doesn’t tell you if your left quad is underdeveloped or if your core strength is symmetrical—but a DEXA scan does.
Here’s how understanding your body composition benefits your time on the slopes:
Most ski injuries stem from muscle imbalances or poor structural support. A DEXA scan provides detailed measurements of lean mass in each limb, helping spot weaknesses that could lead to ACL tears, hip strains, or lower back issues.
In skiing, strength-to-weight matters. DEXA helps skiers maintain lean muscle mass while shedding unnecessary body fat—ideal for both endurance and control during long runs.
Coming back from a break or injury? Monthly DEXA scans track changes in muscle mass and fat regain—so you can return to snow sports stronger and safer.
By seeing exactly where you’re building or losing muscle, you can tailor your dryland training to strengthen your most crucial ski muscles—glutes, quads, hamstrings, and obliques.
To build and maintain ski-ready conditioning, we recommend a DEXA scan every month or at minimum every other month. This frequency allows you to adapt your workouts and nutrition quickly for optimal results.
DEXA isn’t just for aesthetics. It’s the gold standard in performance and injury-prevention data, offering:
Keep in mind: DEXA scans are not covered by insurance, but they provide elite-level insights you won’t get from a scale, calipers, or wearable.
If skiing is more than just a hobby, it’s time to treat your body like an athlete’s. Get the data you need to build power, stay injury-free, and perform at your peak.
