Following on from our latest fitness and sports gadgets we now present to you the Body Composition Measuring Scale.Featuring bioelectric impedance technology the scales are able to determine body fat percentage by passing a bioelectric current through the entire body of the individual standing on it.

In addition, the Body Composition Measuring Scale is able to diagnose fat levels, skeletal muscle mass, Body Mass Index (BMI), Body Age and Resting Metabolism Rate.

The unit has been tested by the University of Illinois-Chicago and the results of the investigation were that this gadget is more accurate at calculating body fat percentages than competitive products with a 0.11% difference between that and the beam scale weight measurement. One of the reasons for this is that the Body Composition Measuring Scale uses 6 sensors to determine overall body composition. The unit display is easy to use and allows up to four body composition profiles to be measured and stored for 180 days.
