General Instructions for Body Composition Measurement

- People who belong to a sport team or a sport organization with the aim of participation in competition, etc.
- People who are professional athletes.

• The age input range is 5 – 99 years old.
Input age 99 for those who are 100 years or older.
•Inaccurate results may be reported after excessive food/fluid intake, or after periods of intense exercise.
•If clothes weight is input, clothes weight is subtracted from the weight measurements.
• When the “Wrestler Mode” is activated, the DC-430U automatically calculates the Minimum Wrestling
Weight at a predetermined minimum body fat %. The 1996 ACSM Position Stand “Weight Loss in
Wrestlers” as adopted by the NCAA recommends the following MINIMUM body fat % as follows:
- 5% for Collegiate Athletes (male)
- 7% for High School Athletes (male)
The target body fat % value is completely separate from the Minimum Wrestling Weight (Min
Weight) calculations.
For example:
The target body fat % value may be entered as 15%, even though the Min Weight is calculated at a
predetermined minimum body fat of 5 or 7%.
• A target body fat % should be set by a professional only. Tanita is not responsible for setting the
appropriate target body fat % for specific individuals.
