Muscle mass
While the muscle mass will be displayed in %, the bar chart on the bottom edge of the display will show an initial
interpretation of the individually determined muscle mass. The segment where the individual measurement is
located will be highlighted in black. The center segments, highlighted in gray, represent the normal range.
The muscle mass is the “motor” of our body. The muscles are chiefly responsible for the consumption of energy.
The muscles maintain the body temperature and are the foundation for our physical performance. A well-trained,
muscles body is seen as aesthetically pleasing.
The control of the muscle mass is important, particularly for persons with weight or fat problems. Since the body
needs muscles to reduce excess energy or fat reserves, a reduction of weight can be successful only with the
simultaneous increase of muscle.
