Episode 5 (Dexa Scanning)

Victorian Institute of Sport

Join us on Episode 5 of Elite Insights, where we take a trip down to Dexa Melbourne and chat with Dexa Melbourne Director Andrew Ho-Peng and VIS Dietitian & Dexa Melbourne Bone Densitometrist Elaine Bo to learn all about dexa scanning. Andrew breaks down exactly how dexa scanning works and the various roles it can play in elite sport. Elaine takes us through how she uses dexa scanning in her role as a dietitian at VIS. We explore the benefits of dexa scanning for both elite and recreational athletes, including in managing nutrition and injury.
