Body body weight calculator. We measure muscle mass: what and why? And what the Internet says

All you need to know to interpret the results obtained using the InBody Body Analyzer, and begin to offer its customers receiving reliable knowledge that it is necessary to improve health and well-being.

Inbody analyzer results sheet, when proper useIt may be one of the most powerful tools that are at your disposal for directions, learning and care about your customers in the way that was not previously possible. However, to use the possibilities of the Inbody analyzer results in full, you need to get acquainted with the method of filing information in it and, more importantly, with what you can do with it. This is the purpose of this e-book.

InBody analyzer results include health and fitness information, which is absolutely necessary for any health organization and caring for the well-being of its customers if it wishes to have a reputation in this area in this area.

Chapter One: Analysis of the composition of the body and measuring the level of fluid in the body

Analysis of body composition

In this section you will learn:

. How to interpret the body analysis section
. How to determine the true growth of muscle mass
. how to identify body ground

In the upper part of the results of Inbody results, the scan of body composition analysis is presented.


Depending on the InBody model, the body analysis scroll may have a slightly different look, but all models use general principle "Matryoshki" total weight declines to smaller and smaller components.

For example, if on a sheet of results InBody 770 out of total weight, the fat mass (fat content in the body), then we will get a bad mass, which in turn minus the mass of minerals in the bones will give a skinny mass. If from the skinny mass exclude the weight of non-smear minerals and protein (protein), then we will get the total amount of water (OKJ) in the body.

The total amount of water (ox) in the body consists of intracellular fluid and extracellular fluid (AUJ). Intracellular fluid - the sum of the fluid in the cells of the body. Extracellular fluid - water outside cells.


prompt

Both sections are useful, but it is precisely the monitoring of extracellular fluid that has many very topical applications for health workers. If you notice an increase in AUJ, and not the OJL, then this may mean the presence of edema or inflammation.

Since the muscles consist of protein (protein) and intracellular fluid, the growth of both indicators simultaneously means the growth of muscle mass. The increase in the total amount of liquid without increasing the protein rate will most likely mean the presence of swelling.


prompt

Minerals make up 5-6% of the total body weight and are not sources of energy, but are basic elements that determine the condition of the body. Basically, they are concentrated in the bones and teeth, with the exception of a small amount dissolved in the water of the body.

The last item is the content of fat in the body, which includes both subcutaneous and visceral fat.


When adding the total amount of liquid (OKJ), protein (protein) and minerals, we get a bad mass (BZHM) specified in the second column on the right. BZHM is body weight except for fat mass. Includes muscles, extracellular fluid, bones and internal organs.


In most cases, the growth of BZHM reflects the growth of muscle mass, which you can see on the growth of protein mass. This shows positive changes in the body composition. However, the growth of the BZhM against the background of a high level of the AUJ / OJSC can occur due to the swelling associated with a certain state of health.

In this section you will learn:

. How to determine the violation of the water balance

Analysis of AUJ / OKS is based on extracellular fluid to the total amount of fluid. For the most part in healthy people, this parameter is approximately equal to0.380, the values \u200b\u200bof the norm are 0.360 - 0.390. The indicators above 0.390 may talk about the presence of swelling or excess AUJ.


You can see single changes in PJJ / OK - this is normal. This result provides a base for a deeper analysis - a segmental analysis of the skinny mass.

prompt

This chart makes it possible to quickly understand whether there is any kind of swelling in the body, a specific area (such as in injuries) or is common (people are often observed).

This can be used for the Bola of Accurate Analysis of the BZHM. High BZHM and high levels of AUJ / OK often means excess liquid, not muscle mass.

Chapter Second: Muscles, Fatty Fat fabric and risk of obesity

In this section you will learn:

. How to quickly determine the total body composition
. How to report that the client's values \u200b\u200bare below, above or an average weight range, muscle mass and adipose tissue


For many customers, this section of the sheet of results is loved.

Why? Because it makes it easy to categorize different types of body. This section will help you easily provide customers with good general information About the current composition of their body and what changes are necessary for them.

What are the numbers at the top:


The mark of 100%, as well as the marks of the percentage ratio based on indicators that are normal for individuals with a specific increase, which they indicate when testing. Marks above the histogram allow you to compare the values \u200b\u200bof your client with the values \u200b\u200bof other persons of the same growth and gender.

While the range of healthy values \u200b\u200bis changing, as mentioned above, the mark of 100% denotes the average value for the individuals of the same growth and gender. Thus, if the weight row is extended to 130%, it will mean that the value of the person you test is 30% above average.

In the same way, if the weight line of your client has been extended to 70%, it will mean that the mass of your client is 30% less than normal in its growth.

prompt

This graph allows us to show the client composition of his body in comparison with the values \u200b\u200bobtained in people of the same growth and gender.

Analysis of muscle and adipose tissue has three components:

THE WEIGHT

Total body weight (OMT)

Mass of skeletal muscles (MSM)

General weight skeletal muscles Your client. These are muscles that can be enlarged and developed with exercises. Unlike the value of TMT, which includes everything that is not a fatty tissue, you can consider an increase in MSM as the actual muscle gain.

Fat body body

This value indicating the amount of adipose tissue from your client, which combines and surface and inner fatty tissue.

Analysis of muscle and adipose tissue will also tell you whether your client has a healthy Balance of MSM and body fat relative to its / her weight.

prompt

The graph of the analysis of muscle and adipose tissue allows us to generally understand the total composition of your client's body, quickly looking at the meanings. Looking at the length of each of the rows and on how they relate to each other, you can better understand how to help the client in achieving his goals.

Basic Types of Body: C-Form

The three meanings presented in the muscle and adipose analysis sheet are organized in such a way that it can be easily and quickly familiarized with the composition of your client's body.

This is done by drawing one of the three "forms" when you connect the end points of the values \u200b\u200bin weight lines, MSM and HMD.


A person in which the C-form is obtained has a shorter MSM graph compared to weight graphs and HMT. Although this feature people with excess weight Or fat people, you can also see this form in people with normal weight or with weight lack.

prompt

You want to advise the client with a graph of the analysis of muscle and fat mass, which looks above, to reduce body weight (which will also reduce from weight), improving the mass of skeletal muscles. The goal is to help the client improve the indicators to the i-form and, ultimately, to the D-form.

Basic Types of Body: I-Form

Persons in which the i-form is obtained have a balanced composition of the body, which means that the values \u200b\u200bof the Graph "weight", "mass of skeletal muscles" and the "fat weight of the body" form a rough line.

Although faces with such a composition of the body often have a healthy weight and percentage of adequate tissue, they still have risk of health problems if they have too much adhesive tissue.


prompt

If you work with a client, the obtained values \u200b\u200bof which form the I-shape of the body composition, then you need to learn about the wishes of such a customer regarding his health before you begin to make recommendations.

Usually people with i-form do not have such a body composition that puts them in the health risk area, and thus they are in good shape to focus on building muscle mass for the development of force and increase its size or to reduce adipose tissue for the purpose of Improving the general indicators of supplement.

Main Body Types: D-form

Persons in which the D-form is obtained have a longer Count MSM, compared with weight graphs and body fat. This speaks about athletic physique and is considered perfect form Body composition.


If you work with a client who has a similar type of physique, then it is necessary to take into account that such persons usually have certain fitness goals, and your work is to help them achieve such goals.

prompt

Perhaps your client will wish to increase the strength and size of muscle mass. In this case, you need to monitor the graphs of MSM and HCH to make sure that the MSM value increases without a significant increase in the value of the HHMT.

Other customers may wish to work on a mouthpiece and lose some fat mass. For clients with such purposes, it is necessary to monitor the Count HMT, at the same time caring for mitigating the change in the value of MSM. If the loss of the MSM value becomes too sharp, then the adjustment measures must be taken.

Analysis of obesity

In this section you will learn:

. How to estimate the percentage of adipose tissue in your client's body
. Whether weight and BMI values \u200b\u200b(body mass index) of your client about risk for his health due to excess adipose tissue


Analysis of the degree of obesity includes a signature metric of any analysis of body composition: a percentage of bodily fat (PTZ).

This is a deceptive simple metric - the result of dividing body fat for the total weight - but this is the best indicator of the risk of obesity than the BMI, which is one of the main reasons for the inclusion of the NMT value in the analysis - it is fashionable to see its disadvantages, comparing it with PTZ.

What is the difference between BMI and PTZ?


InBody Analyzer Results List You will see the range of values \u200b\u200bfor BMI and PTZ. According to the World Health Organization, the value from 18.5 to 24.99 kg / m2 is a normal range. This normal range is represented on the results sheet, although the Inbody device can be programmed to use another range.

As for PTZ, this range varies for men and women, since women have a tendency to prevent greater fatty mass than in men, due to their reproductive system and genetics. The above example is a graph representing the values \u200b\u200bof the female face, and the normal range for women is installed in the range of 18-28% with an average value of 23%.

prompt

You can show your customer the value of the percentage of bodily fat to help him better find out the state of his health and the form in which it is located. Note to use should not be used. According to WHO, the NMT value is a level meter in a population, as well as a rough meaning for individuals.

Healthy range

For men, a healthy range is 10-20%.


For women, a healthy range is 18-28%.


History of body composition

In this section you will learn:

. How to recognize tendencies in changing body composition
. How to determine favorable or unfavorable changes in body composition relative to weight


At the bottom of the sheet of results there is a history of changes in the body composition, which automatically tracks some of the most important metrics of the body composition. This significantly facilitates the definition of trends.

For example, we take the above results. These results suggest that the person who has passed testing has an athletic physique, and values \u200b\u200bhave a D-form; The purpose of such a person is to gain muscle mass and lose a certain amount of adipose tissue.

Tracking favorable changes


As you can see, a program that adheres to this person was clearly successful. In just two months, his weight increased only by 1.7 kg, while muscle mass increased by 2.3 kg, and the percentage of bodily fat decreased by 2.2%. For any dimensions, this speaks of great success!

prompt

If the results of your client look like the results in the example above, then the current exercises and / or diet mode, which the client adheres to are effective. Probably, it will be necessary to make small changes in the diet or the exercise complex, but you should carefully follow the trends.

Tracking adverse changes

The history of the change in the body composition also allows you to easily notice the emergence of adverse changes in the body composition, especially when they are disguised, seemingly "favorable" change in the decline in body weight.


If the count of your client looks like that, that tested the composition of the body of the client and looking at the general trend, you can see that most of the weight loss is due to the slow loss of muscle mass, which leads to a higher percentage of bodily fat.

prompt

A graph similar to this may become a real revelation for the client, because it displays adverse changes in the composition of the body, when its weight does not change or even decreases by incorrect reason.

Such a person needs consultation on the decision-making, which will help preserve muscle mass with a certain combination of nutrition and power training.

Chapter Three: Segmental Analysis of Thorning Body Mass: Your Magnifying Glass

Segmental analysis of the body weight

In this section you will learn:

. How to detect problem areas in the development of your client
. How to compare customer indicators with other persons
. How to determine whether the body of your client has been developed enough in all zones
. How to find out that the client is not balanced by the ratio of muscle mass


The result sheet has a lot of valuable output. However, segmental analysis of the skinny body weight, with its proper use, is perhaps the most significant partition of the sheet of results.

Skinny body weight against muscle mass

In order to fully understand this section, you must fully realize its purpose. The information presented in the segmental analysis of the skinny body weight shows how much muscle body weight is contained in each segment, and not how much "muscles" in each segment.

This is an important difference in which you can learn more in our blog "skinny body weight against a mass of skeletal muscles: what's the difference?".

Although the increase in skeletal muscles in the body segment will indeed be reflected as an increase in the segmental analysis of the current mass of the body in the diagram, yet not every increase in the value in the skin weight can be explained by the change in muscle mass. This is because when calculating the skinny body weight also takes into account the liquid contained in the body. This makes the diagram useful not only to track muscle mass, but also to control injuries and painful states.

Top and lower graphs

The Inbody device shares the body on 5 segments: two hands, two legs and a torso, which can be considered as a region between the neck and legs. Information for each body segment is given in the form of two graph.

Top graph


In the upper graph, it is shown how much skinny body mass, expressed in kilograms, is available in this segment. Similarly, as with a graph of muscle and fat mass, the upper graph of segmental analysis of the bulk mass allows you to compare the number of kilograms of the skinny body weight with an average expected value of the skin weight for the face of such growth.

Your customers should always take care that the value is 100% or higher.

Lower graph

The lower graph is different. The number indicated on the lower column is a percentage expression and contributes to a rapid understanding of how close (or far) to 100% each graph extends.


What does this graph show? It compares the value of the skin of your client's body with its measured weight. It is indicated herein, a sufficient amount of skinny body mass has your client to maintain its own body weight, where 100% is a sufficient value.

prompt

In the above example, 3 segment of the upper body of the body are higher than 100%, but the segments of the bottom of the body are not.

If you work with a similar client, then he can benefit the exercises aimed at the development of muscle mass. This will help achieve a more balanced body composition and get other favorable results, including such as a decrease in fat mass.

What clients get into the risk zone of insufficient development?

Theoretically, any person may have the underdevelopment of muscle mass in any segment of the body, which may be difficult to establish without the use of segmental analysis of the skinny body weight. However, several groups of customers may be in the greater risk area than others. The following are three categories of such people.

1. Adults leading sedentary lifestyle

Sitting adults who do not perform any exercises, usually have less than 100% segmental skinny body weight, especially in the legs, primarily due to work that requires a seating for most of the day.

2. "skinny thick" people (sarkopenic obesity)

People with the profiles of "skinny fat" have more adipose tissue than it is necessary for healthy organism, in combination with a small amount of skin skin. They are relatively excessively developed fat fabric Or not enough developed muscle mass contributes to a body weight set and can lead to values \u200b\u200bbelow 100% in one or more body segments.

3. Older people

Older people are in the zone of special risk as sufficiently developed skinny body mass due to their tendency to lose muscle mass as a result of increasing inactivity. It affects their ability to take care of themselves, as they are aging, and put them in the high risk zone of falling and bone fractures.

Imbalance muscles of the upper and lower body

The imbalance of the muscles of the upper and lower body is quite frequent in our time due to a sedentary lifestyle; And you will probably face occasions when top part The bodies are developed, and the bottom - no, as in the example below.

Toolkit - Calculator CMT, metabolism and perfect weight

How to calculate calories

This page contains calculators that will help you identify a number of key parameters, very important to combat overweight and subsequent maintenance of normal weight.

Here you can calculate: the level of metabolism, body mass index, the daily need for calories, the type of physique, etc.

Attention! All parameters are calculated based on your individual anthropometric data, so specify the input values \u200b\u200bas accurate as possible, if possible with tenth and hundredths of numbers.

To calculate the parameters with other source data, it is not necessary to update the page, it is enough to edit the source values \u200b\u200band press the calculation button.

The question mark means that this item has additional information. To read it, hover the mouse over the sign.

Basic parameters

Enter your basic anthropological parameters that will be the basis for all subsequent calculations. For some calculations, you will need to fill the additional fields that are given in each calculator separately.

Results:

The level of the main metabolism: -

Daily calorie need: -

Sumy based on muscle body body. Fat percentage in the body

The lack of both the above formulas is that they do not take into account the percentage of muscles in the body, although, as is well known, the muscle mass directly affects the level of metabolism.

Therefore, these formulas are well suited for middle-sized people. However, in some cases, it is better to use the formula Ketch Makardlawhich is based solely on the "dry" body mass.

To calculate the "dry" body weight, you must first determine the percentage of fat in the body. To do this, you need to specify additional source data.

Parameter Value
Neck circle (cm):

The neck circumference is measured by overlapping the ribbon around the neck horizontally.

Measurements should be made so that the tape is tense, but did not compress the skin.

Body mass index

Body mass index (BMI) - The value that allows us to estimate the degree of compliance of the mass of man and its growth and thereby indirectly evaluate whether the mass is insufficient, normal or excessive.

To calculate your BAC, press the calculation button. In addition, you will be displayed in the interpretation of your BMI in accordance with the development of WHO (World Health Organization).

Perfect weight

One of the most accurate methods for calculating the ideal weight is the formula Brock. It takes into account weight ratio, growth, type of physique and human age. It has been proven that with age and women, and men gradually increase - this is a normal physiological process. And kilograms that some consider "superfluous", in fact, may not be.

To use Brock Formula, you will need to first determine your type of physique. To do this, you must specify another additional parameter - the value of the wrist circumference (it is also called "Solovyov" index).

Calculate fat body weight with a special online calculator. They calculate the body mass index (BMI), the percentage of fat, poor body weight and the number of calorie and protein the organism.

To get an indicator of body fat, it is necessary to carry out measurements (in cm):

  • growth (measured without shoes);
  • waist (men are measured in the field of navel, women - in the most narrow part of the abdominal cavity);
  • neck (measured the circle under Kadyk);
  • hips (measure the widest part of the hips);
  • weight in kg (weighed in the morning on an empty stomach, after visiting the toilet).

It is also necessary to take into account the gender and age of a person.

In addition, it is necessary to determine the level of activity:

  • active (a person regularly engages in sports, is engaged in severe physical labor);
  • moderate (a person is actively resting, often in motion, makes daily hiking, his work is associated with the movement);
  • minimal ( low-moving image Life, work at the table, computer, rare loads).

Entering the above data, the calculator can calculate the percentage of fat in the body. For women and men, the norms of the indicator will be different.

Body mass index is the ratio of mass and human growth. It is determined by the formula: BMI \u003d weight in kg / growth in square. m. This calculation can be determined how your mass matches the norm. The results may not be completely accurate, since the formula does not take into account the nature of the physique. The results are interpreted in the following way:

  • BMI<18,5 - недостаток массы;
  • BMI 18,5-24.9 - normal weight;
  • BMI 25-29.9 - overweight;
  • BMI 30 and more - obesity.

Body weightless weight is your weight without fat deposits. It is also called the scant body of the body. It is possible to calculate the inflexible body weight by the formula: weight * (100-% fat).

Other ways to calculate the amount of fat


Fat in the body can be calculated on the thickness of fat folds. To do this, use a special device - Caliper. But instead you can use a caliper or a regular ruler. With the help of the device, you need to take fat folds in four places on the body and measure their thickness.

To calculate, you must perform the following actions:

  • take a fat fold on the triceps between the elbow and the shoulder joints, measure the thickness;
  • similarly, measure the fat fold on the biceps;
  • take the skin under the blade at an angle of 45 degrees to the vertical (the fold should be located along the line connecting the sides and the cervical spine);
  • measure fat fold in the navel area (choose a place with the highest amount of fat).

The measurement results are summarized and the percentage of fat is measured using special tables.

To determine the degree of obesity, also use weighing in water. The method gives very accurate results, but is the most time consuming. It is used in specialized clinics. The person is weighed in water and air, after which they calculate the difference between indicators with the help of special formulas and determine the percentage of fat. A person is planted into a special chair, which is connected to the scales. When the studied makes a deep breath, the chair is immersed in water for 10 seconds. The procedure is repeated three times to obtain the most accurate results.

Pretty precisely calculates the amount of fat bioimmedans. This is a special device that passes through the body of a small current and at the speed of passing the signal determines the amount of fat in the body. The more fat deposits, the weaker the signal will pass. The error of calculating this device is 1.5-2%.

Based on the data of bioimpeant, the following indicators can be approximately assessed:

  • body mass index;
  • the individual value of the perfect body weight;
  • the amount of fat in kilograms and percentage;
  • the amount of extracellular fluid (blood, lymph);
  • the amount of intracellular fluid;
  • the amount of fluid in the body in the associated state (swelling);
  • number in kilograms and percentage of active cell mass (muscle, organs, brain and nerve cells);
  • the main metabolism (kcal) is the exchange of substances in 24 hours at rest;
  • state Na / k;
  • deviation of measured values \u200b\u200bfrom the norm;
  • trace the dynamics of change.

The advice of the nutritionist. The biimemissometry method significantly helps to avoid deficiencies inherent in traditional methods of assessing body composition:

  • subjective estimate;
  • error in calculations;
  • lack of accounting of individual constitutional features.

What percentage of fat will admit


Insufficient amount of adipose tissue and low body weight index violates metabolic processes in the body. The reproductive function suffers, the production of genital hormones is disturbed, the condition of the skin and hair is worse.

In obesity, the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases increases. Under the severity of excess weight, the spine is twisted, the joints are crumbling. In addition, the appearance of man suffers, because of what the self-esteem is reduced, depressed, irritability arise.

Patterns of fat

The percentage of fat in the body will help the most accurately determine how your weight matches the norm. An excessive amount of fat, as well as its drawback, can cause serious violations in the body, so it is important to monitor your weight. There are different ways to determine the amount of fat in the body. You can use special measuring instruments or online calculator. The video below will tell more detail how to calculate the amount of fat in the body.

The problem of the analysis of muscle mass is that on the one hand, muscle mass is like a constant value, and healthy people approximately fit into one corridor of values.

On the other hand, muscle mass, an increase in it is an increase in and body weight. Accordingly, you need to be sure that the man "gets fat" due to muscles, and not because of fat. And finally, the problem with the calculation as such: all the rebuke methods are sufficiently approximate.

Let's talk about it.

When we once again started testing MGB scales, first of all, as you remember, we again turned to the problem of calculating fat mass calculation in the body. This parameter is really important for all categories of people, while muscle mass seems to be interested in "clicks" or at least the regulars of sports halls.

And that's right: the muscles are power, stamina, the ability to lift heavy things and aesthetic component, or appearance. Not everyone follows this and not everyone needs it. However, for example, for those who seek to lose weight, it is still necessary for the muscular mass! For example, if it is tightly sitting on low-calorie food, small-faced food, then the likelihood is that a person will lose weight due to muscle loss, and not fat.

What is the trick?

Speaking simply: Changes in the muscle mass you can, in fact, evaluate only to the eye. Really! In other words, we again return to the problem of burning fat, and not a set of muscle mass as such.

If you strive to give the body relief, then you first pick up some weight, eat it, and then goes the "drying" process, and thus it turns out that you do not gain muscle mass, and you will drive excess fat, so the analyzers scales first Propented for us to help control this parameter with sufficient accuracy.

The second cunning is that muscle mass is some permanent value, the range of whose values \u200b\u200bfor a healthy person is about the same:

For men: the normal importance of muscle mass - about 45% of the whole body weight
For women: the normal importance of muscle mass - about 35% of the whole body weight

For those who are engaged in the gym system, the indicator may increase to 50-55%, and the "permanent" bodybuilders and up to 70%, but there are tablets, injections and big money. This is not our method!

On smart scales, this can be expressed in this way:

On the left dimension of a person who systematically visits the gym, right - a regular office worker.

Is there a system in these dimensions? Yes there is. For example, comparing the indicator of a person who is simply systematically engaged in the gym, pursuing his own interests, with the coach data on Eastern martial arts, the picture will be different:

How exactly is it?

And here just the second trick. Match nothing with what! More precisely, not even so. The thing is that in most sources from the phrase "Muscular Mass", one word is removed in which the secret is. Muscle masses as if two: LEAN BODY MASS. and Skeletal Muscle Mass..

It is impossible to compare them, and modern diagnostics, primarily bioimpened analysis and DEXA analysis calculate various Value! Dexa shows "Lean", and the Bioimpened "Skeletal", from here and the difference:

Three Values: Biompead in Clinic, MGB Smart Scales, Dexa

In other words, on X-ray you see a complex digit on the maintenance of muscles, water in muscles and cells, which can be a significant share, and it also does not characterize the relief of the body!

If you specify the goal, then it is possible to adjust the values, of course, since the bioimpened analysis shows the extracellular fluid, and the common one that can be divided into muscles, but this is already a story.

In other words, according to this parameter: the skeletal-muscular weight of the bioimmedance can be compared only with the bioimpeant, and calculate the "Lean Body Mass" at home it is impossible at allDespite the formulas for the calculation of muscle mass, which in the network is sufficient.

Bioimpened analysis in the clinic and smart scales MGB

The skeletal and muscular mass with which we are doing is some conditional indicator of the health of the body, endurance and physical development. Lean Mass is largely "recruited" due to fluid and connective tissues, which percentage of the musculoskeletal mass in this indicator is difficult to say. As a result, it must be said that no indicator of two characterizes the relief of the body! Although, judging by the data to the "dry muscular mass", the rate of weights than X-ray is closer.

And what does the Internet say?

The potential of a normal person without drugs and doctors, as noted, is up to 12 kg of muscles per year with uniform sports loads with a decrease in year to year to 6 and 3 kg, respectively. Instant set is practically impossible without additional stimulation, but the effect of this is fast and not always useful.

A good example of a quick effect is the actors who can afford to quickly gain weight and muscle mass and quickly get rid of it, and then recruit again.

It is expensive and harmful to health, but Hollywood stars have money, and they can simply afford it. Most of the ordinary people seek to adjust the figure much more scenario, and the system gives the result, and in our system it is enough to adhere to the values \u200b\u200bclose to the normal range, and this can be observed in trends using smart scales.

It is also not necessary to forget that Miostatin is responsible for the growth of muscles, and some people have genetically limited to the ability to endlessly grow muscles.

Somehow? Yes! Let's try with Caliper

When we just started talking about the scales as a way of analyzing the body, experts immediately appeared, which (partly and fairly) questioned the biimepence method in principle.

A really deep detailed analysis of the body composition is possible only with the help of X-ray - Dexa. However, mathematics are suitable for tracking trends: and somewhere the usual calculator.

Want to compare a study for 10,000 rubles on average with centimeter indicators for 10 rubles on average?

For such calculations, it is enough to use. Of course, there is a difference, but not such a catastrophic, it is clear that a man is thin, all within the normal range.

To calculate the musculoskeletal mass, it is also possible to use, however, a little more "demanding".

Something like this…

Difficulties of translation?

The first thing that occurs in the head: Lean Body Mass can be translated differently: and as a "muscle mass", and as a "lean" or "dry" body weight, or - bad. And it would be very logical. Indeally, everything that is not fat - it should be muscles.

In favor of this version, everything, except for one tiny inconsistency, is: in the DEXA study there are two columns: a life-free body and the LEAN Body Mass, and there is a little bit, but different numbers: it means not the same thing.

In general, this indicator - the bezhnaya body of the body - Dexa is already comparable to the biimepel dimension.

As a result, it is necessary to recognize that for the designation of "muscular mass", different studies and tests imply different data. Secondly, it should be noted that the muscles, muscle mass - not equal to the relief, and under this term it is necessary to rather understand a certain indicator of the body of the body, endurance and physical form: close to athletic or, on the contrary, to obesity. And then everything is not unrealized from the mass of fat: it is how much? The weight is also gained at the expense of fat, and at the expense of muscles, and with a weight of 100+ kg, muscle mass can pay proportionally, but with a round belly instead of the press - you, unfortunately, is not an athlete.

We also note that scales analyzers, as the basis of their biimpeantry technology, measure the musculoskeletal mass, which has a certain range of norms, where it is not so difficult to get a healthy person.

And, perhaps, today, this indicator is no other way except for any hands and caliper approximately not to calculate. However, in order to calculate these data with a caliper and a centimeter, you still need to know your own weight, and then the circle closed - it's time to buy scales.

We offer to use: light, compact and convenient, which have passed a number of tests and comparisons on different people, including in comparison with classical clinical studies using a bioimpeantometer and on the Dexa apparatus.

First of all, the scales were tested to the ability to calculate the fat mass, and in this respect they were very convincing.

And the second dimension with another participant:

In other words, it seems to us, the scales are capable of a fairly reliably to process a number of data related to body weight and lay it on fat / non-residential / bone musculoskeletal mass. First of all, it will help better follow weight and over the dynamics of changes with some detail.

With their decent and convenient characteristics, there are weights inexpensively :. If you wish, you can buy them with payment immediately on the site for another 500 rubles cheaper, applying a special coupon: Mgbbfs.!


Details

  • The weight. The device measures the weight of the user, and also issues the range of desired weight for this user in accordance with its growth, floor and age.
  • Fat, weight of fat. The device calculates the fat content in percentage and in kilograms, and also gives the range of the desired fat content in accordance with its growth, floor and age.

    (FFM) impressive mass. The device issues the amount of lifeless mass in kg. This includes the mineral mass of bones and muscle mass.

    Muscle mass. Muscular mass includes skeletal muscles, heart muscle and smooth muscle tissue. For muscle mass there is no recommended range than muscles more, the better.

    (BMI) body mass index. This coefficient shows the use of the user's weight to its growth, and also gives the desired range.

    Metabolic age. Metabolic age shows what age is the health of the user.





BMR VFR TBW.

  • BXon the printout of measurement results is presented in kilocalories, as well as for convenience, in kilodzhoules. These cyocalorias are spent in order to ensure the full functioning of the body at rest (i.e. sleep), for example, to maintain body temperature, to work internal organs: heart, lungs, etc. The main exchange indicator is divided into three parts. In the blue zone there is a low level of main exchange, in the green zones - the norm, in the red zone - above the norm. The more muscles, the higher the main exchange. Therefore, the main exchange in the zone above the norm is welcomed.
  • Evaluation of visceral fat. This indicator shows the level of visceral fat, which accumulates around the internal organs. The indicator is divided into three parts: green is marked with a middle level, yellow is indicated by a high level, red - very high. Visceral fat is not measured in kilograms, not in percent, but in conventional units from 1 to 59. On the printout of measurement results, a digital value is indicated. Each unit corresponds to 10 square meters. See Fat on the surface of the internal organs.

Middle level - From 1 to 12 - the non-hazardous level of visceral fat.

High level - From 13 to 17 - a dangerous level of visceral fat, which can be made to the level of medium with the help of proper nutrition, systematic physical exertion, without the help of doctors or sports instructors.

Very tall - From 18 to 59 - a dangerous level of fat content, in which the intervention of a nutrient doctor is already required, an endocrinologist, and possibly a bariatric surgeon. Physical exertion under the guidance of the sports instructor are required, since diet and proper nutrition can only stop the increase in the number of visceral fat, but it can be removed only through systematic physical exertion.

  • Water content in body

TBW - Total Body Water - the total water content. Information on the presence of water in kilograms and as a percentage of the total body weight is given.

ECW - Extra-Cellular-Water - extracellular water, kg

ICW - Intra-Cellular-Water - intracellular water, kg

Healthy water content range:

In men - 50-65%

Women - 45-60%

  • ECW / TBW. - The ratio of extracellular water to the total mass of water is an indicator that describes the body's predisposition to swelling.

If the ratio is within up to 41% - the body functions normally, the exchange processes occur normally, excessive water is successfully excreted from the body.

If this ratio is within more than 41% - there is a reason in the body, according to which excessive water is not excreted from the body. The body is inclined to swelling, even if there are no obvious signs of edema. It is necessary to consult a doctor.


Evaluation of the physical condition / physical rating

The overall assessment of the user's physique is given, taking into account the ratio of fat and muscular body weight.

An asterisk - intersection of indicators along the X and Y axis, is an assessment of the physical state of the user.


Segmental analysis of fat mass


In order to easily and quickly get information about the presence of fat and its distribution in the body, in the printout of the measurement results, graphics are given in the form of a pentagon, where the upper angle corresponds to the body, the lower two angle corresponds to the legs, and the left and right - correspond to the left and right hand .

Opposite each corner there is a digital value of the presence of fat in the body segment in kilograms and as a percentage of the segment.

For instant understanding, there is a lot or a little, opposite each corner there are numbers, from -4 to +4. From -2 to -4 - low level of fat content. From -2 to +2 - the average level of fat content. From +2 to +4 - high level of fat content.


Segment analysis muscle mass

In order to easily and quickly obtain information about the presence of muscle mass and its distribution in the body, in the printout of the measurement results, graphics are given in the form of a pentagon, where the upper corner corresponds to the body, the lower two angle corresponds to the legs, and the left and right - correspond to the left and right hand.

Opposite each corner there is a digital value of the presence of muscle mass in the body segment in kilograms.

For instant understanding, there is a lot or a little, opposite each corner there are numbers, from -4 to +4. From -2 to -4 - low level of muscle mass. From -2 to +2 - the average level of muscle mass. From +2 to +4 - high level of muscle mass.

Muscle Balance

A comparison of the muscular mass of the left and right parts of the body is made. You can detect the presence of imbalance in time.


Muscle assessment of legs.

An assessment of the physical state of the user is given in comparison with the average healthy meaning of its sex and age.

The blue graphic line corresponds to the male floor. Yellow graphic line corresponds to the female floor. If the measurement result (black circle) is above the corresponding line, this means that the muscles of the legs are stronger than the average value of the human feet assessment of the same age and gender. If the black circle is below the lines, the legs are weaker.


Fat distribution in body.

The fat distribution in the body is estimated at the ratio of fat at the top of the body (above the belt) to the amount at the bottom of the body (below the belt). Each age corresponds to a certain ratio that is assessed as healthy.

The blue graphic line corresponds to the male floor. In men, fat accumulates mainly in the abdomen, therefore, usually, they have a healthy ratio of about 1.5 and it increases with age. If the measurement result (black circle) is above the blue line, this indicates the presence of excess fat.

Yellow graphic line corresponds to the female floor. The female body has a tendency to accumulate fat in the hips. Therefore, a healthy relation in women begins with 1 and it rises with age. If the measurement result (black circle) is below the yellow line, then this indicates the presence of excess fat.
