Information for body fat measurement
There are heavy people with a well-balanced relation between fat and muscular
mass and there are apparently slender people with substantially higher body fat
values. Fat is a factor that contributes to burdening the body and, in particular, the
circulatory system. Te checks of both values (fat and weight) are hence a basic pre-
requisite for health and fitness.
The share of body fat in people varies greatly. Therefore, thanks to the PW 2624
FA, it is possible to set your own personal body data. The reference values for your
fitness profile are provided in the table below. It shows that there is a relation bet-
ween the body fat values and your age and sex. Always bear in mind that, as in the
case of the water balance in your body, also the share of fat is subject to great
variations. Therefore, weigh yourself always at the same hour of the day to obtain a
comparable value.
The device makes a weak and imperceptible electrical signal run through your body
to determine the actual values of your body. The signal is absolutely harmless!
Body fat is an important part of the body. Fat plays an important role in your body ran-
ging from the protection of joints with its reserve of vitamins to the regulation of the body
temperature. The goal is not to reduce drastically the quantity of fat in your body, but to
reach and maintain a balanced relation between the muscular mass and the fat mass.
