Body composition analysis

General preparation:

• The measurement is taken with bare feet, do not apply cream to them that day.
• During the examination, you should place your mobile phone or other electronic devices, such as a watch, and metal objects, such as keys, away from your body.
• The test can be performed at any time of day and requires no special preparation. However, it's best to perform a follow-up measurement under similar conditions – the same device, same time of day.
• On the day of the test, it's best to avoid coffee, strong tea, energy drinks, and alcohol. Immediately before the test (up to 2 hours), avoid eating or drinking, and avoid any intense physical activity.
• Contraindications to the examination include metal implants in the body, stents, epilepsy, and pregnancy.

For people who require very high measurement precision, e.g. those practicing sports:

• The measurement should be taken after a night's rest in the morning – on an empty stomach or at least 3 hours after the last meal.
• Do not drink for at least 2 hours before measurement.
• During the 24 hours preceding the examination, you should not drink fluids containing caffeine – coffee, strong tea, energy drinks or alcohol.
• It is not recommended to perform the test immediately after intense physical exercise, immediately after bathing, swimming, or visiting a sauna – the test can be performed approximately 1 hour after exercise.

Body composition analysis includes measurement of body weight, body fat percentage (kg, %), lean body mass, soft tissue mass, bone mass, total body water, basal metabolic rate, and estimation of body mass index (BMI), visceral fat, and metabolic age.
The analysis is performed to assess weight loss progress, adapt to sports training, and assess body condition and health, including an assessment of metabolic age.
Duration: approximately 5 minutes.

Do not measure:

• in pregnant women;
• in people with epilepsy;
• in people with metal implants, e.g. pacemakers, stents, metal stitches in the heart, other large implants, endoprostheses;
• in people with implanted devices that transmit an electrical signal, e.g. an artificial heart, heart-lung machine;
• in people using various types of electronic stimulators.
