In a world increasingly
aware of the health benefits of maintaining proper weight and getting
regular exercise, there is a growing demand for fast and easy assessment
of individual fitness level.
Personal fitness has often been determined by
merely measuring weight and body dimensions. But there is another
important indicator of fitness level - Body
Composition Analysis - which provides a method of finding
your total percentage of body fat, a strong indicator of true
fitness.
 Bio-Electric
Impedance Analysis (BIA) is a modern technique for measuring
body fat which is simple, fast and accurate. BIA relies on the differences
in electrical conductivity of biological tissues such as muscle and
fat. With a tiny electrical signal applied at the palms of your hands, this conductivity
is precisely measured and the percentage of body fat throughout the
upper body can be computed.
As this technique has evolved, the convenience
and accuracy of evaluating body fat has made BIA an important
part of assessing your personal true fitness level. Once you know your
body fat percentage (as opposed to simply your weight), it becomes
much easier to evaluate dietary habits and determine a suitable course
of exercise.
