Assessment of the Results

There are heavy persons with a well-balanced percentage 

between fat and muscle mass, and there are seemingly slim 

persons with significantly high body fat values. Fat is a factor 

that puts serious strain on the body, in particular the cardio-

vascular system. Therefore, controlling both values (fat and 

weight) is a prerequisite for health and fitness.

Body Fat
Body fat is an important component of the body. From 

protecting the joints as a vitamin repository to regulating the 

body temperature, fat plays a vital role in the body. Thus the 

goal is not to radically reduce the proportion of body fat, but 

rather to achieve and maintain a healthy balance between 

muscle and fat.

The Importance of Water for our Health
Approximately fifty-five to sixty percent of the human body 

consist of water, depending on age and gender in varying 

amounts.
Water has to fulfill several tasks within the body:
•  It is the building block of our cells. That means that all the 

cells in our body, whether skin cells, gland cells, muscle 

cells, brain cells or others, are functional only if they 

contain enough water.

•  It is a solvent for important substances in our body.

•  It is a means of conveyance for nutrients, the body’s own 

substances and metabolic products.

Reference values for your fitness profile can be seen in the 

benchmark table. It shows the dependency of body fat data 

on age and gender. Always pay attention to your body’s water 

balance, which, as well as the fat level, undergoes strong 

fluctuations throughout the day. Therefore, to obtain consist-

ent data, always measure at the same time of day.
The calculated results of the body fat and water level should 

only be considered as reference values. They are not rec-

ommended to be used for medical purposes. Please always 

consult a doctor if you have questions about a medical treat-

ment or a diet in order to achieve a normal body weight.

BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate / Energy Expenditure)
The Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) characterizes the energy 

expenditure. The energy expenditure is used to describe the 

amount of energy in KCAL that the body requires per day dur-

ing complete rest, at an indifference temperature (28 - 30 °C) 

and on an empty stomach for the maintenance of its function 

(e.g. while sleeping).
