Hints:
a)
If the computer display does not show any values, please check all plug-in connections carefully to
ensure that they have proper contact, and look to see whether the batteries have been inserted
correctly!
b)
The calorie consumption values registered and displayed with this computer merely serve as indicative
values for a person of medium stature with medium resistance setting, and can deviate considerably
from the actual medically precise calorie consumption.
c)
The pulse values registered and displayed with this computer are merely indicative in nature and can
deviate considerably from the actual pulse.
d)
This computer has been tested according to the corresponding EMC standards. Even so, it is still
possible for interference, in particular electrostatic discharge, to affect the display, possibly resulting in
an unwanted reset or defect display. In this case, simply restart the computer (wait for it to switch off and
on again) or take the batteries out briefly).
The bodyfat analysis
This item is equipped with a computer with body-fat measurement. In the following we will explain
this advanced technology and for what it is good for. However, we strongly recommend,
to consult your physician before starting this body fat measurement in order to clarify if
such a measurement by electrical current is suitable for you.
How to reach your ideal body type and improve your health
Being fit has many advantages, from helping you to control your weight to giving you a better night
sleep. Most important of all, there is impressive and mounting evidence that people who exercise
regularly, and in the right way, are less prone to killer diseases such as heart attacks and strokes
and live longer than people who do not exercise.
To reach the ideal body type for your personal health pay attention to the part of fat in your body.
Fundamentally you can say someone with a lower body fat is healthier and has got more
endurance. Naturally it is possible to exaggerate here. A figure with not enough body fat is in the
same way unhealthy as it is a person who has got too much.
If you watch your body fat you can reduce or increase your weight according to measured values
by taking in more or less calories (ask a specialist for more information).
Therefore it is important to watch continuously the pulse frequency during your exercise
To reduce the body fat you must do your training in an aerobe zone. (this means within 50%-70%
of the maximum pulse.
Usually the individual part of body fat will be given as a percentage of the total body weight.
Weight reduction should happen by reduction of body fat and not by reduction of muscle mass or
water.
Bio-electrical Impedance Analysis – Approved by Henry C. Lukaski, Ph. D. Grand Forks
Human Nutrition Research Center.
The fat monitoring determines body fat using Bio-Electric Impedance Analysis (BIA), a process by
which a small electrical current is sent through the body to measure the impedance. The current
will flow through the hands. The more fat containing adipose tissue (fat) in the body, the harder
the current must work to travel around. In this case, the resistance to the current generates a
higher impedance value, which in turn reflects a higher value for body fat. The impedance value is
then inserted into an equation (along with height, weight, sex, and physical stature) which
calculates body density and percent body fat.
