Muscle mass
The muscle mass is the body's motor. Most of the energy we use is consumed by muscles.
The muscles ensure that the body temperature is maintained and are the basis of our
physical performance.
Checking the muscle mass is particularly important for people with weight or fat
problems. As the body needs muscles to remove excess energy reserves or fat deposits,
weight reduction can only be successful in the long term if muscles are built up at the
same time.

Your scale has a special setting for well-trained and muscular people ("athletes"). As
muscle cells have a similar bioelectric resistance to fat cells, the scale could interpret
muscles as fat. This problem only occurs if the muscle mass is large; if a person has a
normal range of muscles, the scale does not measure this as fat.
The athlete mode prevents this incorrect interpretation. In this mode, the actual body fat
values are measured using a different mathematical formula.
