Most of us know that excess Body Fat can be detrimental to health and sports performance, and that weight alone cannot distinguish between that fat mass and lean muscle mass change.

That’s why Tanita World leading manufacture and academics in Body Composition monitoring have designed the Tanita BC-601 Monitor. The Tanita BC-601 includes Free Software and SD-card giving users the ability to store, monitor and keep a track of those all-important measurements via a Personal computer or hand held device.

The Innerscan range of body composition monitors is the next generation in home healthcare exclusive concept developed by Tanita. They offer an in depth insight into the inner health of the user, clearly displaying changes on overall health and fitness levels. Using Advanced Dual Frequency Technology, in depth information can be provided about muscle mass, central fat level, metabolic rate and physique rating.

The user stands on four footplates on the platform of the scale and gently pulls the hand electrodes that are conveniently housed in the base using retractable connecting cables. The monitor will then send a safe low signal from the 8 hand-and-footplate electrodes through the body. The resistance to the measurement (known as Bio-electrical Impedance Analysis or BIA) is then fed into researched equations to provide accurate and personalized body composition readings.

Designed for the dedicated sports and fitness person to assess the impact of any training routine on their total and segmental body composition, this totally unique product gives individual body composition readings for each of 5 body segments - each arm, each leg and the trunk area. The retractable handgrips allow full body composition to be taken quickly and with increased accuracy.
