What Is Physique Rating?
This feature assesses your physique according to the ratio of body fat and muscle mass in your body.
As you become more active and reduce the amount of body fat, your physique rating also changes accordingly. Even if your weight does
not change, your muscle mass and body fat levels may be changing to make you healthier and reduce your risk of certain diseases.Each
person should set their own goal of which physique they want to achieve, and follow a diet and fitness program to meet that goal.

What Is Muscle Quality Score?
Muscle quality score indicates the “quality (state) of muscle” which changes according to factors such as age and fitness. The
muscles of young people or those who exercise regularly is normally in a good state, but the state of muscles deteriorates in elderly
people or those who do not get enough exercise. Inner Scan Dual Body Composition Analyzer uses 2 different frequencies to
measure Bioelectrical Impedance, and these results are used to evaluate the muscle state using the Muscle Quality Score.
It is important to maintain a good balance
between muscle mass and quality.
