IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO KNOW BEFORE USING YOUR BODY FAT SCALE

1. Why is it important to monitor percentage body fat (%BF)?

Weight is a useful indicator but not sufficient to monitor your health. Weight change in itself does not indicate

whether it was the weight of body fat or muscle that had changed. In weight management, it is desirable that

muscle mass be maintained while body fat is lost. Thus, monitoring the percentage fat of the body is an important

step toward successful weight management and body health.

The optimal %BF of an individual varies according to age and gender.

The table as follows may be used as a guide:

Notice Fitness Coach.indd 21 26/01/11 16:02:52TERRAILLON BODY FAT SCALE – INSTRUCTION MANUAL EN The table as follows may be used as a guide:

25 % and over 55 to 37 %

33 % and over 49 to 37 %

2. How is percentage body fat (%BF) estimated?

%BF is measured by a method called Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA).

With the BIA technology, a low intensity electrical signal is sent through the body. The signal is very low and

causes no bodily harm. Depending on the amount of body fat of the individual, the electrical signal will flow

with a different degree of difficulty. The difficulty with which a signal flows through the body is called electrical

impedance. Hence, by measuring the electrical impedance and applying to the data a proprietary algorithm,

%BF can be estimated.

Please be reminded that the %BF estimated with the scale represents only a good approximation of

your actual body fat. There exist clinical methods of estimating body fat that can be ordered by your

3 . Why is it important to monitor percentage Total Body Water (%TBW) in the body?

HELPSTOMAINTAINBODYTEMPERATUREPROVIDESMOISTURETOSKINANDMUCOSACUSHIONSVITALORGANSLUBRICATESJOINTS

and is a component of many body fluids. The amount of water in the body fluctuates with the hydration level of

the body and state of health. Monitoring the level of body water can be a useful tool for one’s health maintenance.

Similar to body fat estimation, the %TBW function provided in this scale is based on BIA.

how much you have sweated immediately prior to the measurement. For better accuracy, avoid fluctuation in

hydration level prior to the measurement. The accuracy of the scale in estimating TBW will also decrease with

individuals suffering from diseases that tend to accumulate water in the body.

The optimal %TBW of an individual varies according to age and gender.

Please be reminded that the % TBW estimated with the scale represents only a good approximation of

your TBW. There exist clinical methods of estimating body fat that can be ordered by your physician.

value to the population’s normal value.

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 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.

6. Definition of an Athlete

The general consensus among researchers is that a quantitative dimension could be used in defining an athlete.
