How South Australia Police (SAPOL) Is Using InBody To Manage Officers’ Health & Wellbeing

How South Australia Police (SAPOL) Is Using InBody To Manage Officers’ Health & Wellbeing

Senior Sergeant Paul Kameniar is the Project Manager for South Australia Police’s Health and Wellbeing program, where the program is designed to support employees in managing health, safety, performance, and wellbeing.

The South Australia Police’s Health and Wellbeing program takes a holistic approach to employee health and has developed a sophisticated network of internal officers receiving professional training as personal trainers, credentials in nutrition and a range of mental health support qualifications. Officers within this network are receiving training as Body Scan Operators for the InBody 570 to scan other officers during SAPOL’s annual Health and Wellbeing training days.

 

A program designed to better officer performance through reconditioning and prevention of injury.

One of the programs run by South Australia Police is a Reconditioning Program. The program enables SAPOL employees to consult with appropriate allied health professionals and gain financial support in the treatment of any physical issues they may be experiencing. These issues are not necessarily work related and fall outside of Work Cover.

A common example for someone joining the program is to lose weight and begin functional training where the officer will connect with a dietician and exercise physiologist to assist with their weight loss / body composition goals.

Officers are encouraged to have a body scan to ensure that any weight lost is fat and not muscle deterioration. Operational Police are required to carry up to 9kgs of equipment on their body, so maintaining good muscle composition and functional movement is essential in preventing injury.

InBody data to identify nutritional and performance issues.

Within a 12-month period since South Australia Police’s procurement of their first InBody 570, over 800 employees have been scanned in the workforce. The InBody has become a popular management tool, with many officers requesting follow up scans.
The opportunity to have an InBody body scan is completely voluntary and is confidential. The Police force does not maintain individual records, however, the data captured has helped to identify common patterns of interest within certain cohorts.

How did InBody become the right fit for the program?

The InBody 570 unit is portable which means it transports easily on road and for visits to regional areas. The Program was in search of a reliable, accurate, and comprehensive assessment tool, where employees can be educated and manage their progress.

Each body scan at the Police Headquarters, involves a 15-20 minute consultation. This enables the program officers to better engage with employees when having discussions regarding maintenance or improvement of their health and wellbeing.

Since the implementation of the InBody device, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of employees trying to improve their physical condition through the Reconditioning Program.

Due to popular demand and its success within the program, an additional InBody unit has been acquired. The Program will now have an InBody unit installed in Police Headquarters and another at the Police Academy.

 

Disclaimer: The program’s use of certain result parameters is strictly private and confidential. Results do not go on any employee medical records. InBody scans are used solely for the purpose of educating individual employees and linking employees to the appropriate allied health professional if needed.

Hiit Helensvale

Hiit Helensvale

Jason and Billie from Hiit Helensvale are long standing customers of InBody and have been using our advanced technology for many years. We have watched them evolve in the fitness industry, from seeing them graduate as Personal Trainers with our sister company Human Performance Centre, to now being successful business owners. When they opened their very own Hiit Station here on the Gold Coast investing in their own InBody 570 was a no brainer.

Hiit Station is famous for their 8 week challenges; they achieve life changing results through tailored meal plans, targeted training and plenty of support and encouragement.

Jason and Billie put each challenger through an InBody scan at the beginning of each 8 week challenge, so they can analyse the starting point. And after a solid 8 weeks of hard training the ‘end of challenge’ scans always show incredible results! Without the InBody scan, they would not know what has truly changed within the body over the 8 weeks!

CQ Nutrition

CQ Nutrition

You’ll find an InBody 570 device at each of CQ Nutrition’s locations across Queensland. With offices in Rockhampton, Yeppoon, Gladstone, Mackay, Blackwater and Emerald, Chris Hughes and his team of Dietitians really have this part of the country covered.

They specialise in Fat Loss, Sports Nutrition, Management and prevention of chronic disease, Pre and Post Weight Loss Surgery Advice, and Corporate Health & Wellness Programs. Body Composition Determination is a key point during a consultation with one of their skilled Dietitians, from there a personalised strategy is developed to help reach each client’s goal.

Chris Hughes – “The InBody 570s have transformed our practice. For so long we used standard bathroom scales and body measurements. We strive for fat loss results for our clients, while gaining or maintaining muscle. Standard scales are misleading, as they would not reflect the effort our clients put in. Quite often a client’s weight may not have moved much, however through measurements we knew they were drastically changing their body composition.”

Chris and his team encourage their clients to come in for monthly InBody scans, as this shows the true progress of each individual and helps them stay motivated and on track. Another important factor they like to concentrate on is maintaining fat loss. Once their clients have done all the hard work to lose the body fat, having regular InBody scans ensure they stay on track and the fat stays off.

Chris – “After introducing the InBody 570s, we could accurately demonstrate to our clients what results their hard work was achieving. The InBodys have helped us grow from a small two man operation to now a team of 17 staff in 5 locations. This in part is due to our clients love of having their scans with the InBody 570s. We now have 6 InBody 570’s and without doubt they are the best investment we have made in our business.”
