6. Muscle Mass- Why should I know it?
According to the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), lean muscle
mass may decrease by nearly 50 percent between the age of 20 and 90. If
you do nothing about this, you are losing muscle and increasing fat. It is also
important to know your muscle mass % during weight reduction. At rest, the
body burns approximately 110 additional calories for each kilo of muscle
gained.Benetsofgainingmusclemassinclude:
• Reversing the decline in strength, bone density and muscle mass that
happens with aging
•Maintenanceofexiblejoints
• Guide weight reduction when combined with a healthy diet.
4. 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 estimation. Establishing
your own baseline value of %BF and %TBW and tracking their changes is better
than merely comparing your %BF and %TBW value to the population’s “normal”
value.
The estimates provided are not substitutes for physician assessments. Consult
your physician to determine what body fat percentage, total body water
percentage, body mass index and daily calorie intake are most ideal for you.
5. What is the CaloriePredictor®?
The CaloriePredictor function estimates the number of calories required based
on your body composition and user entered personal data. This tool can
be used as a guide when setting daily calorie goals during weight loss and
exercise programs.
CAUTION:
• BIA (Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis) method estimates your body fat
percentage by sending a harmless signal through the body.
• This device should not be used by anyone with an internal electronic medical
device, such as a pacemaker, as a precaution against disruption to that device.
• If in doubt, contact your physician.
• This scale will give body fat estimates for a majority of people, but is not intended
for use by the following groups:
Children: Anyone under the age of 18 years
Pregnant Women
• Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment marked with the following
symbol “ ”. Also, the scale may interfere with electrical equipment within its
vicinity.
• To enable the data transmission function, this scale should be paired to a
Bluetooth® end at 2.4 GHz.
How to mitigate possible interference?
1. The distance between the scale and the Bluetooth should be reasonably
close, between 3 to 30 feet. Please ensure there are no obstacles between
the scale and the Bluetooth end so as to obtain a quality connection.
2. To avoid interference, other electronics devices (particularly those with
Bluetooth® transmission/transmitter should be kept at least 3 feet away from
the scale.
