Introduction
The Competitor Series comes in three models:
•
D1000-3, Full Body
•
D1000-2, Hand to Hand
•
D1000-1, Foot to Foot
Model D1000-2

The Competitor Series is a body scanning device that measures the impedance of the human body by
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (B.I.A.). Using the impedance value and personal data (height, age, gen-
der, weight), it provides:
•
M
ass of body fat — Weight
•
Lean body mass — L.B.M.
•
Total body water — T.B.W.
•
Intra-cellular water — I.C.W.
•
Extra-cellular water — E.C.W.
•
Body mass index — B.M.I.
•
Percent of body fat — P.B.F.
•
Basal metabolic rate — B.M.R.
•
Segmental lean body mass of five body parts (trunk, right arm, left arm, right leg, and left leg).
Note
This applies only to the full body model (D1000-3) of the Competitor Series and is shown in
Figure 2.2 on page 7.
The B.I.A. method is a way to analyze body composition by measuring the resistance generated from the
human body when harmless alternating current flows through the body. It can be used not only to diagnose
obesity but also to prevent secondary diseases caused by obesity.
The Competitor Series measures body resistance with a tetra-polar electrode technique. With the touch
type electrode, body resistance can be measured by holding the electrode, stepping on the electrode or
touching the ankle.
