The HBF-306C has two modes - athlete and normal - for accurate results. The device is a breeze to use, and it returns the results of measurements in seven seconds for the two Bi method (Bioelectrical impedance Method) and BMI (Body Mass Index). The unit displays the measured value of your percentage of body fat by using the IMC, and indicates the body mass in the range of low, normal, high and very high according to the IMC.
What is the Bioelectrical impedance method?
The muscles, blood vessels and bone tissues of the body with a high water content that conduct electricity easily. The body fat is tissue that has little electrical conductivity. The analyzer body fat sends a very low electrical current of 50 kHz and 500 μ A in your body to determine the amount of fatty tissue. This weak electric current is not felt for the use of body fat analyzer. The method combines security Bioelectrical impedance electrical resistance with the distance of electricity carried out. Posture correct and consistent measuring conditions must be maintained for best results.
Operating the Analyzer
To use the HBF-306C you must first set your personal datYou must first select between the Normal and Athlete modes. To determine if you should select Normal or Athlete, you must calculate your FIT index by using the following formula:
* FIT Index = Frequency x Intensity x Time
Frequency is a single digit number from one to five that represents your frequency of exercise. If you exercise daily or almost daily, then use the number five; three to four times per week use four; one to two times per week use three; a few times per month use two; and for less than once a month use one. If you workout vigorously, then you use the number five to represent your intensity level; if you workout with moderate or light effort, use the number four.
Meanwhile, time is a single digit number from four to one that represents the duration of your workout. If you exercise for 45 minutes or more, then use the number four; 30-44 minutes use three; 15-29 minutes use two; and for less than 15 minutes use one. For example, if you run five times a week for 30 minutes, your FIT index would be 75 (5 x 5 x 3 = 75) and you would select the Athlete setting. If your FIT index is greater than 60, you should select the Athlete setting. Any number below would demand a normal setting.
After determining your FIT index and selecting between the Athlete and Normal setting, the remaining personal data is very straightforward. Simply enter your height, weight, age and gender. When all the data is fixed and stored, the analyzer screen will display "Ready," and you'll be ready to take your first body fat measurements.
Note: For the following cases, the body fat percentage measured by this unit may significantly differ from the actual body fat percentage.
* Children in a growth stage
* Elderly people and post-menopausal women
* People with a fever
* People who have swelling
* Patients with osteoporosis who have very low bone density
* Bodybuilders or professional athletes
* Patients undergoing dialysis
