Body fat contains relatively little water. Therefore persons with a high body fat percentage have body water percentages below
the recommended values. With endurance athletes, however, the recommended values could be exceeded due to low fat per-
centages and high muscle percentage.
This scale is unsuitable for measuring body water in order to draw medical conclusions concerning age-related water retention,
for example. If necessary ask your physician. Basically, a high body water percentage should be the aim.
Muscle percentage
The muscle percentage % is normally within the following ranges:
Man
Woman
