Tanita’s BC-545N body composition monitor
Tanita has created the BC-545N segmental body composition monitor to provide information for shaping diet and fitness programmes. The BC-545N uses bio-electrical impedance analysis (BIA) to study body composition, calculating body fat, muscle mass, hydration level, metabolic rate, visceral fat and bone mass. Each body segment – arms, legs and abdominal area – is analysed, allowing users to track changes to body fat and muscle mass in targeted areas as training progresses. It’s also aimed at helping with injury rehabilitation.
