INFORMATION ON MEASURING BODY FAT

WARNING:
Do not use the scales if you use a pacemaker or another medical implant
with electronic components.the function of the implant may be impaired the
measurement.
NOTE: The device can only function correctly if you stand on the contact surface
with bare,dry feet! The main principle of this device is based on the measurement
of the electric impedance within the human body.In order to determine the actual
body date,the device eads a weak,unnoticeable electric signal through your body.
This signal is generally safe!However,please read our special safety instructions!
The method of measurement is referred to as"bioelectric impedance analysis"(BIA),a
factor which is based on the relationship between body weight and associated body
water percentages as well as on other biological date(age,gender,body weight).
There are heavy persons with a well-balanced percentage between fat and
muscle mass,and there are seemingly slim persons with significantly high body fat
values,Fat is a factor that puts serious strain on the body,in particular the cardio-
vascular system.Therefore,controlling both values(fat and weight)is a prerequisite
for health and fitness.
Body Fat
Body fat is an important component of the body.From protecting the joints as a
vitamin repository to regulating the body temperature,fat plays a vital role in the
body.Thus the goal is not radically reduce the proportion of body fat,but rather to
achieve and maintain a healthy balance between muscle and fat.
