Thank you very much for
purchasing the SR-901
6-pack Analyser, the latest
innovative product from
TANITA.
This instrument, the abdominal (abs)
subcutaneous fat meter, is to measure
the subcutaneous fat thickness of the
abdomen. Belly fat is a combination of
subcutaneous fat and visceral fat. The
result that is measured and displayed is
the thickness of subcutaneous fat (not
visceral fat).
Abdominal subcutaneous fat is a shock
absorber, helping to cushion our skin
against trauma, and also stores energy,
which the body uses during periods of
high activity.
To get the defined or ripped 6 or 8 pack
it is important to measure the thickness
of the subcutaneous fat around the
stomach. The lower the number the more
defined the six pack will show. The results
are measured and displayed in 0.1 cm
increments of thickness
The rectus abdominis is an important
postural muscle. Three bands of
connective tissue called the tendinous
intersections traverse the rectus
abdominis, which separates this parallel
muscle into eight distinct muscle bellies.
In the abdomens of people with low body
fat these bellies can be viewed externally
and are commonly referred to as a “four,
six, or eight pack”, depending on how
many are visible; although six is the most
common.
