TERRAILLON BODY FAT SCALE – INSTRUCTION MANUAL
5. When should I use the scale's body fat and total body water functions?
For maximum accuracy and repeatability, it is recommended that the scale's body fat and total body water
functions be used at approximately the same time of the day, e.g. before breakfast in the morning. It is also a
good practice to avoid swings in hydration level of the body prior to the measurement. Establishing your own
baseline value of %BF and %TBW and track their changes is better than merely comparing your %BF and %TBW
value to the population's normal value.
6. Why is the Athlete Mode necessary in a Body Fat Analyzer?
It has been found that body fat estimation using BIA could overestimate the percentage body fat of adult elite
athletes. The physiological variation of athletes in bone density and level of hydration are two of the reasons said
to account for the difference. The Athlete mode is selectable only for adults of 18 years of age or older.
7. Definition of an Athlete
The general consensus among researchers is that a quantitative dimension could be used in defining an athlete.
For example, an athlete could be defined as a person who consistently trains a minimum of three times per
week for two hours each time, in order to improve specific skills required in the performance of their specific
sport and/or activity.
