Proportion of muscle

Whilst the proportion of

muscle in % is shown in the display, one of the 9 segments appears in the bar below it.

The muscle mass is the engine of our bodies. Most of our energy conversion takes place in our muscles. The muscles take care of the maintenance of body temperature and they are the basis of our bodily performance.

An exercised, muscular body is seen as aes- thetically pleasing.

A check of the muscle mass is particularly important for people with weight and fat problems. Since the body needs muscles to reduce excess energy reserves or folds of fat, longterm weight reduction can only

Example:

Actual proportion of muscle calculated = 30.4 % of total body weight.

This value is about 6 % below the calculated individual standard value.

Example:

Energy consumption measured = 1,855 kcal. This value is 5% below the calculated normal level of energy consumption.

Energy consumption

While energy consumption is shown in the display in kcal, one of the 9 segments appears in the graphics panel below.

Energy consumption is calculated from the personal data – corrected by a factor for the relevant activity type - and the distribution of body mass measured.

Basic rate

+ performance rate

= energy consumption.

If you take in fewer kilocalories than your individual energy consumption, then your body will react by losing weight. Your weight will increase if you take in more calories.
