INFORMATION ABOUT BODY FAT MEASUREMENT Body fat scales measure body composition with the Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) technique. The scale offers an estimated body fat percentage based on how long it takes a small, harmless electrical current to pass through the body. The more fat the electrical current encounters, the higher the body fat percentage is, since fat offers higher resistance to electrical currents than muscle.

INFORMATION ABOUT BONE MASS The human skeleton consists of 206 bones. The bones which form the skeleton consist of proteins and mineral substances. Whenever the bones meet in the human body there is a joint formed which performs a special function in the body. Without bones, the human body would not have a shape. Regular exercise is necessary to keep fit and to maintain the abilities of the bones efficiently.
