How does the SECA Body Composition Analysis Work?
How does the SECA Body Composition Analysis Work?
The SECA scales uses bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to measure body composition. It sends a low, safe electrical signal through the body, which moves at different speeds through muscle, fat, and water. Since these tissues conduct electricity differently, the scale can calculate key health metrics such as body fat percentage, muscle mass, and water ratio. This method is quick, non-invasive, and highly accurate.
Due to the nature of the scanner, those that are pregnant, have prosthetics, pacemakers, or electrical implants may NOT use the SECA Body Composition Analyzer.
What does the SECA Scale Measure?
What does the SECA Scale Measure?
- Weight- Total body weight in pounds or kilograms
- Body Fat Percentage – The proportion of fat to total body weight
- Skeletal Muscle Mass – The amount of muscle attached to bones, essential for movement and strength
- Water Ratio – The amount of water in the body, crucial for hydration and overall health
- Visceral Fat – Fat stored around internal organs, which impacts metabolic health
- Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) – The number of calories your body burns at rest.
What do I need to know before I do my initial scan?
What do I need to know before I do my initial scan?
• If possible, measure yourself at the same time of day.
• The measurement should be done before exercising in a rested state, not afterward.
• If an especially intense training session took place the day before, it could influence the measurement. In this case, it‘s better to wait another day or two.
• Do not drink large amounts before the measurement.
• Go to the toilet before the measurement.
• Ensure similar clothing; if you wear heavier clothing at the follow-up measurement, it will be interpreted as additional weight.
• Illnesses and medications can also affect the measurement.
• The menstrual cycle should be considered when choosing the time for the measurement. During or shortly before menstruation, water retention can occur, affecting the measurement results.
