How Does the Activ8rlives Body Analyser Work?
The Activ8rlives Body Analyser Smart Scales uses a measurement principle known as Bioelectrical Impedance
Analysis (BIA). A very small electrical current is sent through your body, through your feet and legs. The current
flows with little electrical resistance through lean muscular tissue, which is full of fluid. By contrast, body fat has a
high electrical resistance—it acts as an electrical insulator. By measuring your body
’ s resistance to the current (its
impendence), the proportion of muscle can be calculated. From this, the quantity of fat and water can then be
estimated.
The size of the current used is only about 1 mAmp—this is a minuscule current and you will not feel it.
However, the
Activ8rlives Body Analyser Smart Scales should NOT be used by those fitted with a pace maker
or if you have any other electrically - operated medical device fitted.
Best Time to Measure Your Body Composition
Our water content can vary at different times during the day and since body fat percentage is calculated by
measuring the water content, our body fat reading can also vary throughout the day. There is no right or wrong
time of the day to take a reading, but we find it most consistent to measure our body weight and water content
first thing in the morning before eating or drinking and after using the toilet. It is about making the measurement
consistent.
Taking measurements after having a bath or sauna, or following intensive exercise, or within 1 - 2 hours of drinking
in quantity or eating a meal as the water content will distort the values generated.
Never attempt to take readings when you are wet, after a shower or vigorous exercise, because of the risk of
slipping. Also the accuracy of the measurement will be distorted as the water content of the body would have
changed.
