6. Comprensió de les mesures
6.1 Pes
The scale measures weight up to 375 lbs (170 kg) in 0.2 lb (0.1 kg) increments. Consistent measurement at the same time of day is recommended for tracking progress.
6.2 Body Fat Percentage (BIA)
The scale uses Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) to estimate body fat. A small, safe electrical current passes through your body. Since fat tissue conducts electricity differently than muscle and water, the scale can estimate your body fat percentage. Factors like hydration level, recent exercise, and food intake can influence BIA readings.
6.3 Hydration Percentage
Similar to body fat, hydration percentage is estimated using BIA. This measurement indicates the proportion of water in your body. Hydration levels fluctuate throughout the day, so consistency in measurement time is important.
