ENGLISH
What is muscle bulk (MUS)?
The muscle bulk (MUS) value shows the weight of
locomotor system muscles, smooth muscles (heart
and digestive system) and water in these muscles.
Control of muscle bulk is especially important for
people with excessive weight. Weight loss may lead
to decrease of fat tissues, but only if you gain muscle
bulk at the same time.
What is bone mass (BON)?
Bone tissues are the base of human skeleton; they are
solid and resistant to external stress, protecting inter-
nal organs, and together with the muscle tissue the
bone tissues provide the ability of a human to move.
Bone mass measurement is based on calculating
the minerals mass in a human body (calcium or other
matters). Research has showed that development
of muscle tissues makes the skeleton stronger. This
fact should be taken into account when making up a
diet and calculating physical activity to maintain the
bones strong and healthy.
Bone mass (BON) practically doesn’t change; how-
ever, some decrease is possible due to many factors
(weight, height, age, sex). That’s why this manual
does not contain standard values and recommenda-
tions concerning the bone mass.
Recommended level of daily calorie intake
(KCAL)
The level of daily calorie intake (KCAL) is the amount
of energy required by a human body at rest to main-
tain its vital functions (for instance, if you merely stay
in bed for 24 hours). The required amount of calories
significantly depends on the weight, height and age
of a person. This amount of calories is required by
the human body and it should be regained by means
of food. If you receive less calories for a long time, it
may harm your health.
Analysis of weighing results
As a rule, short-term changes of weight within several
days are the result of minor loss of liquid in your body
tissues. Analyze the results of regular weight measure-
ments taken throughout a long time. Evaluation of the
results is based on changes of total weight and tissue
percentage and depends on the duration of the period
within which the measurements have been taken.
Short-term indication changes during a day can be
significantly different from the indication changes
within a week or a month.
As a rule, short-term indication changes are con-
nected with percentage of liquid in body tissues,
and medium- and long-term changes are caused by
changes in the amount of fat and muscle bulk.
–
For instance, short-term weight loss and simul-
taneous growth or constant amount of fat in body
tissues may be caused by decreased amount of
liquid as a result of physical exercises, visiting
sauna or may happen at quick weight loss.
–
Medium-term increase of weight, decrease of fat
amount or constant fat amount in body tissues
may be caused by increase of muscle bulk.
–
If you notice simultaneous decrease of total
weight and fat percentage, it means that your
diet works.
–
The best results are achieved if you
combine diet with various physical exercises,
in this case you can observe the medium-term
increase of muscle mass in body tissues.
