What is skeletal muscle ?
What is skeletal muscle percentage ?
Skeletal muscle percentage (%)=(skeletal muscle weight (kg)/ body weight (kg))×100
The device uses BI method to estimate your skeletal muscle percentage. (
How to deal with the problem
that resting metabolism reduces
gradually with the increase of age ?
Resting metabolism will be reduced year by
year after reaching a peak in the latter half of a
teenager. This is because that body functions
gradually decline as people get older. The
decrease in skeletal muscle weight is the main
reason.
Even if the body muscle does not make any
movement, it also consumes a certain amount
of energy in one day and emits heat. Heat plays
a part in "body temperature maintenance" of
resting metabolism. If muscle weight is reduced,
energy consumption within 1 day will be reduced.
On the condition of a decline in resting
metabolism, if one still keeps eating habits
as when they were young, a "midlife obesity"
consequence will be resulted.
To prevent this from happening, we need to know
our resting metabolism and keep exercising to
maintain and increase skeletal muscle weight.
Muscle is divided into two types, muscle in internal organs, such as
the heart, and muscle attached to bones that is used to move the body.
Skeletal muscle can be increased through exercise and other activity.
Percentage of skeletal muscle weight in body weight.
Shape not-easily-obese
habitus by maintaining and
increasing skeletal muscle!
This product feature is the measurement of
skeletal muscle percentage.
Build energy consumable habitus (not-easily-
obese habits) by the means of increasing skeletal
muscle and improving resting metabolism.
Enhance muscle strength as well, to bring you a
high quality of life.
