What is the definition of an Athlete?
- The general consensus among researchers is that a quantitative
dimension could be used to define an athlete. An athlete is
defined for this scale as a person who consistently works out for
approximately 3 times per week at 2 hours for each occurrence.
These individuals should select Athlete Mode for the most
accurate measurement results.
Please note that scale is not calibrated for profes-
sional athletes or body builders.
5. Why is the Athlete Mode necessary in a Body Fat
Scale?
- It has been found that body fat estimation using BIA could
overestimate the percentage body fat of adult elite athletes. The
physiological variation of athletes in bone density and level of
hydration are two of the reasons said to account for the
difference.
6. How to restart the scale?
- First, took one of the batteries out of the scale.
- Then, put back the batteries and wait for 5 seconds.
- Now the scale has been automatic restart, you can step onto the
scale.
