Body composition measurements from any personal scale using BIA technology
are a close indication, and not an exact value. Use body composition measure-
ments from any personal scale as an indication of progress or change. Please
consult your doctor for more information on accurate body composition measure-
ments.
ATHLETE MODE
Athletes are defined as those who exercise at least 10 hours per week, and
have been doing so for the last 6 months.
WEIGHT LOSS
During weight loss, the percentage of body fat may not change as expected,
since the reading is a percentage of body weight, and both will be changing at
the same time. To minimize the loss of lean body tissue, be sure to include
exercise in your weight loss plan.
