Proportion of muscle
Whilst the proportion of
muscle in % is shown in the display, one of
the 9 segments appears in the bar below it.
The muscle mass is the engine of our bodies.
Most of our energy conversion takes place in
our muscles. The muscles take care of the
maintenance of body temperature and they are
the basis of our bodily performance.
An exercised, muscular body is seen as aes-

Example:
Actual proportion of muscle calculated
= 30.4 % of total body weight.
This value is about 6 % below the calculated
individual standard value.
Energy consumption
While energy consumption is shown in the
display in kcal, one of the 9 segments appears
in the graphics panel below.
Energy consumption is calculated from the
personal data – corrected by a factor for the
relevant activity type - and the distribution of
body mass measured.
Basic rate
+ performance rate
= energy consumption.
If you take in fewer kilocalories than your
individual energy consumption, then your body
will react by losing weight. Your weight will
increase if you take in more calories.
