This is how your body analyser scales work
This is how your body analyser scales work
Your new body analyser scales work using so-called BIA-technology (Bioelectric
Impedance Analysis). This involves an undetectable, completely harmless and weak
current flowing through your body.
The measurement takes place via sensors that are mounted on the weighing surface.
‚ The current flows relatively unhindered through the fluid contained in muscle
mass.
‚ In fat mass, the resistance is greater. This resistance is measured.
Together with your personal data (sex, weight, age, and height), the scales calculate the
following information about your body composition:
‚ Weight in the set measurement unit
‚ Body fat content in % (measuring range 3 - 50 %)
‚ Body water in % (measuring range 25 - 75 %)
‚ Muscle mass in % (measuring range 25 - 75 %)
‚ Bone mass in % (measuring range 1 - 25 %)
‚ Basal metabolic rate BMR (calorie requirement)
‚ Body mass index BMI (measure of body weight)
The scales are equipped with 10 memory cells in total.
Measurement errors
Measurement or calculation errors may arise for the following groups of people during
the body analysis:
People who ....
... spend 10 hours or more per week playing sport,
... are professional athletes, bodybuilders or endurance athletes,
... are over 85 years old,
... are less than 10 years old.
The "normal weighing function" (see next chapter) is not affected by these
considerations.
Measuring your weight
For normal weighing – without body analysis – you do not have to input
any data.
– Position yourself on the scale. Stand still and do not hold on to anything.
Shortly afterwards, the measured weight is displayed. A few seconds after you have
left the weighing surface, the scale switches off automatically.
