6. When should I use the scale's body fat and total body water functions?
For maximum accuracy and repeatability, it is recommended that the scale's body fat and total body water
functions be used at approximately the same time of the day, e�g� before breakfast in the morning� It is also
a good practice to avoid swings in hydration level of the body prior to the measurement� Establishing your
own baseline value of %BF and %TBW and track their changes is better than merely comparing your %BF and
%TBW value to the population's normal value�
7. 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 bone 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�
8. Definition of an Athlete
The general consensus among researchers is that a quantitative dimension could be used 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�
