Wrestler Mode; Setting The Minimum Weight Guideline - Tanita TBF-300 WA Manual De Instrucciones

Wrestler Mode: Setting the Minimum Body Fat Percent (TBF-300 WA ONLY)
When the "Wrestler Mode" is activated, the TBF-300 WA automatically calculates the Minimum Wrestling Weight at a
predetermined minimum body fat percent. The 1996 ACSM Position Stand "Weight Loss in Wrestlers" as adopted by
the NCAA recommends the following MINIMUM body fat percents as follows:
5% for Collegiate Athletes
7% for High School Athletes
<To set the Minimum Body Fat Percent>

1. Turn on the power while pressing the [5] key or the
[7] key. Depending on the key pressed, '05' or '07'
will be displayed at the bottom of the screen.
[5] : Sets the Minimum BF% to the automatic cal-
culation value of 5% (Collegiate level) in

Wrestler mode

[7] : Sets the Minimum BF% to the automatic cal-
culation value of 7% (High School level) in
Wrestler mode
•If the number of print outs is set to "0",
this item cannot be preset.
•If the Wrestler Mode is not turned ON,
this item cannot be preset. Please read
"C. Setting the Original Mode" on P.24.
•The target BF% value is completely sep-
arate from the Minimum Wrestling
Weight (Min WEIGHT) calculations.
For example: The target BF% value
may be entered as 15%, even though
the Min WEIGHT is calculated at a pre-
determined minimum body fat of 5 or
7%.
2. When input has been completed, the unit will auto-
matically continue to the measurement screen.
Wrestler Mode: Setting the Minimum Weight Guideline
Minimum Wrestling Weight is calculated according to the methodology adopted by the NCAA (1998 Guidelines). The
calculations are as follows:
Body Fat Percent (BF%) = (4.57 / Body Density - 4.142) X 100 (Brozek equation)
Fat weight (FW) = Body Weight (BW) X BF% / 100
Fat free Weight (FFW) = BW - FW
Minimum Wrestling Weight (MWW)** = FFW / Predetermined Minimum BF%*
* If the predetermined minimum BF% is 7% : MWW = FFW / 0.93
* If the predetermined minimum BF% is 5% : MWW = FFW / 0.95
** MWW appears as "Min WEIGHT" on the printout.
CAUTION
•The minimum percent body fat values used to calcuate the Minimum Wrestling
Weight (MWW) are derived from the 1996 American College of Sports Medicine
(ACSM) Position Stand "Weight Loss in Wrestlers", that has been adopted by the
National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in their 1998 Weight
Management Guidelines. Tanita Corporation is not responsible for establishing
these minimum requirements and guidelines, nor for any future changes to the
current standards. Tanita is providing information only, and does NOT recom-
mend the application of the guidelines for any given individual. State wrestling
associations may have standards that differ from the NCAA.
•The Minimum Wrestling Weight as calculated with the minimum body fat per-
cent is the MINIMUM weight at which an athlete may be allowed to compete. The
MINIMUM body fat percent and resulting MINIMUM wrestling weight may NOT
be the optimal body fat or weight for a given individual athlete. Attempting to
achieve these MINIMUM standards does NOT necessarily impact the athlete's
performance, and may be unhealthy for given individuals.
•If it is necessary to set the Minimum BF% to a value other than 5% or 7%, please
contact our customer service department.
