How to do the measurement:
The correct position for the body fat measuring:
Sit on the item with the arms in front of you in an angle of approx. 75°. Keeping straight and moving as
little as possible the elbows. Grasp the sensors with your fingers as completely as possible so that there
is sufficient contact to the electrodes.
Faults which one should avoid:
Here is a list of faults which one should avoid during the measuring absolutely to score a result as correct
as possible:
a.
movements during the measuring
b. bent wrists
c. there is no sufficient contact between fingers and electrodes/sensors
Note: To measure the pulse frequency during the training you don‘t need to follow the above mentioned
notes. For this it is enough, if you merely put your both palms on the sensor resp. to properly wear a
compatible chest belt.
Starting fat measuring:
After choosing the correct programme (P23) adjust the following values with the „UP“, „DOWN“ and
„ENTER“ buttons:
Height in cm, Weight in kg, Gender (1 = male; 2 = female) and Age. Press „START/STOP“ and put your
hands back on the sensors.
Grasp the sensors fully and keep your hands on them and do not move for the next few seconds. Already
smallest movements can lead to great deviations in the measurement result. If the computer doesn‘t get
any valid signals of the hand pulse sensors, an error message appears. In this case please repeat the
complete process.
The result
After the measurement you get the following values shown on the display.:
A. Your BMR (= Basal Metabolism Ratio)
B. Your Body-Mass-Index (BMI): This index can be calculated by dividing your weight in kg by your
double height in meters, i.e. a person with 60 kg weight and a height of 160 cm does have a BMI
of 60/ 1,6 x 1,6 = 23,4.
The „ideal“ BMI depends on your age:
