Bioimpedance is a very effective method for analyzing body mass. It helps to understand the overall body composition, allowing you to distinguish fat mass from muscle mass and water. The method is widely used in both weight loss and bodybuilding programs, including sports, to determine the effectiveness of sports training and whether protein and micronutrient supplementation is necessary.
The body is given weight and volume by both fat and muscle, as well as water retained in the body. In order to determine whether it is necessary to get rid of excess fat, increase muscle mass or reduce edema, it is necessary to find out what the proportions of these values are.
Measurements obtained:
Body fat, %
Visceral fat percentage
Fat mass, kg
Fat-free mass, kg
Body muscle mass, kg
Body bone mass, kg
Body water, %
Basal metabolic rate (BMR)
Body mass index (BMI)
Physical rating
How the measurement is done:
During the measurement, you place your bare feet on the sensors and a painless measurement is taken within a few seconds. During the examination, an alternating current is passed through the body, which is weak and imperceptible to the person. The measurement principle is based on simple laws of physics: the different conductivity of bones, organs and body fat is used.
Contraindications:
- have pacemakers or other medical device implants
- have metallic prostheses or bone fixation with plates, screws, wires
- pregnancy
How to prepare for the measurement:
Do not eat or drink 4 hours before the measurement
Do not go to the sauna or engage in various physical activities at least 12 hours beforehand
Do not drink alcohol 48 hours before the examination
Do not perform the examination during menstruation
Do not perform the examination if you have an elevated body temperature
Do not use diuretics 7 days before the examination
Empty the bladder 30 min. before the examination
There should be no pronounced thickening of the skin on the bottom of the feet
