ABOUT ATHLETE MODE
5. Why is the Athlete Mode necessary in a Body
Fat Analyzer?
It has been found that body fat estimation using BIA
could overestimate the percentage body fat of adult
elite athletes. The physiological variation of athletes
in muscle density and level of hydration are two of the
reasons said to account for the difference. The Athlete
mode is selectable only for adults of 18 years of age
or older.
6. What is the definition of an Athlete?
The general consensus among researchers is that a
quantitative dimension could be use in defining an
athlete. For example, an athlete could be defined as
a person who consistently trains a minimum of three
times per week for two hours each time, in order to
improve specific skills required in the performance
of their specific sport and/or activity.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
INTRODUCTION
Terraillon body fat scale is designed and
manufactured in a facility certified in ISO 9001
Quality Management System and ISO 14001
Environmental Management System. The scale
uses the method of Bioelectrical Impedance
Analysis (BIA) to estimate body fat and total body
water. It sends a harmless amount of electricity
into the body, then estimates from the measured
impedance of the body, the percentage total body
water and percentage body fat. The body fat scale
is also equipped with an Athlete Mode for athletes
whose body build are different from non-athletes.
