or garments.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR GETTING AN ACCURATE READING
Always weigh yourself on the same scale at the same time, preferably when you
wake up and before getting dressed.
Wait about 15 minutes after getting up so the water can distribute itself through
your body.
It is important to weigh yourself with dry, bare feet positioned correctly on the
electrodes (see figure).
Avoid contact between the legs so the scale operates correctly.
Scale precision could vary in the following cases:
a. high level of alcohol
b. high level of caeine or drugs
c. after heavy meals
d. after rigorous sports activities
e. during illness
f. during pregnancy
g. when dehydrated
h. with wet or unclean feet
i. swollen legs

When you weigh yourself, make sure that the app is active and displayed on
your smartphone so that you can check that the data has been promptly
sent with your body composition. Before taking a new reading, always
make sure that the connection on your smartphone is active.
For Android™ devices it is necessary to activate the localisation services.
Before weighing yourself for the first time, always select the user on your
smartphone.
Each time the scale is moved or lifted and then placed back on its support
surface, the first weighing must not be considered due to the fact that the
electronic board needs to readjust with respect to the load cells. Consider
the second and successive weights, as in certain cases the first one could
be altered for the reason mentioned above.

BODY COMPOSITION GUIDE
The body composition is made up of:
•
•
•
lean mass: all components without fat (water, muscle, connective tissue, and
other non- fatty organic components), bone, bowels, organs, and blood;
fatty mass: all fats that can be extracted from adipose tissue and other tissues/
organs;
bone mass.
Through the electrodes located on the platform, the scale sends a weak,
low intensity electrical current that passes through the body. The
dierent masses respond dierently to the current: lean mass provides
less resistance than the opposite. This body resistance is called bioelectri-
cal impedance. The relative percentage of the various body masses varies
5
Below are some common body composition metrics that appear in app when
the scale is connected to your smartphone (see section connecting the scale
to your smartphone). The information to follow is to give you an indication
only. Consult your doctor or dietician if you have any questions or concerns.
Considerations
When asses sing your body composition trend, it is necessary to keep the following in
mind:
A decrease in weight accompanied by no change in body fat or even an
increase in body fat means that your body only lost water (for example,
after exercising, time in the sauna or a limited diet for rapid weight loss).
An increase in weight accompanied by a decrease or no change in body
fat indicates the development of muscle mass.
When the weight and body fat decrease at the same time it means that
your diet is working and volume is being lost.

Body Fat Percentage
Body fat percentage is the amount of body fat as a proportion of your body
weight. The body fat percentage indicated in the table below represents
the total fat that is calculated by adding essential fat and storage fat.
Essential fat is necessary for various bodily
functions. The percentage is 3% in men and 12% in women. Storage fat
gives energy protects against physical trauma and insulates the body to
preserve heat. These
percentages vary with the age and gender of the individual as shown in the
table below. In
Fitdays™ , there will be an automatic comparison of your

Women

The % of water in the body diers based on gender: in healthy adult women
it ranges from 45% to 60% while in men it ranges from 50% to 65%.
The percentage of water is greater in childhood and
decreases with age. Body weight variations can occur in a short period of
time (hours), a medium period (days) or over a long period (weeks). Small
variations in weight over a few hours is normal and due to water
retention since extracellular water (which includes the interstitial fluid,
When weight losses occur in just a few days,
it is very likely that it is part of the total water.

Body Mass Index
BMI Table BMI Value
Underweight <18.5
Normal 18.5-24.9
Overweight 25.0-29.9
Obese >30
The body mass index (BMI) is the
relation of body weight to height.
The classification
given below is correlated to the risk that
body weight exerts on health.
When BMI is between 18.5 and 24.9 it
means that the weight does not statisti-
It is important to know that BMI does not allow accounting for weight
variations due to muscle mass, bone mass, water content or fat accumula-
tion. Therefore, a simple BMI calculation alone should not be misinterpret-
ed. The evaluation of BMI should be made by a doctor or other specialists
such as a nutritionist or dietitian. In Fitdays™, there will be an automatic
comparison of your measured BMI against a range chart for your
reference.
Muscle Mass Percentage
Muscle mass is the weight of your muscles in you body.There are three
dierent types of muscle: smooth, striated skeletal, and striated cardiac.
Smooth muscle is made of smooth fibres. These are found in the walls of
the digestive tract, respiratory tract, and genital tract and in the wall of
the venous and arterial blood vessels. Human striated skeletal muscle is
in the skeletal and facial muscles. C a r d i a c
striated muscle is found in the heart. Muscles play an important part in
the overall health, including maintaining regular body functions. Muscle
mass starts to decrease with age. Keeping track of muscle metrics
overtime, along with other body composition metrics, can provide
indications of your health tness. This scale
captures and displays in the Fitdays™ app 3 muscle metrics: muscle
mass (lbs/kg), muscle rate (all muscle types) and skeletal muscle (%). On
average, 40% of body mass is made up of skeletal muscles.

Bone Mass Information
Bone mass is the weight of bone mineral in your body. It is important that you develop
and maintain healthy bones by having a balanced diet and plenty of exercises.
Keep track of your bone mass over time for any changes in the long term. Your bone
mass tends to decrease after the age of 30. Below is a chart to show average of
estimated bone mass based on weight and gender.
In Fitdays™, there will be an automatic comparison of your meas ured bone mas s
against a range chart for your reference also.
