Help me translate this Body Comp ticket numbers

**jeepers** · 09-09-2008, 03:46 PM

I had this done TODAY at about 11am pre workout what does all this mean??

BODY TYPE = ATHLETIC
GENDER = MALE
AGE = 38
Height = 6 FOOT
WEIGHT = 191.2 LBS
BMI = 27.5
BMR = 7925 kj / 1894 cal
IMPEDANCE = 425
FAT % = 13.1%
FAT MASS = 25.01 LBS
FFM = 166.21LBS
TBW = 121.61 LBS

Is it BAD ?

Bump... no one want to help translate to common english

What do you wanna know?

Youre an healthy 38 year old male...

13%BF isnt bad for a 38yr old...

I wonder what the impedance means? I know what it means in electronics, but im lost on that.

Impedance
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

Impedance may refer to:

* the ratio of the voltage phasor to the electric current phasor, as in
o Electrical impedance, a measure of opposition to time-varying electric current in an electric circuit.
o Characteristic impedance, a measure of opposition to electric current propagation in a transmission line.
* Impedance matching and Impedance mismatch.
* Vacuum impedance, a universal constant.
* Electromagnetic impedance, a constant related to electromagnetic wave propagation in a medium.
* Mechanical impedance, a measure of opposition to motion of a structure subjected to a force.
* Acoustic impedance, a constant related to the propagation of sound waves in an acoustic medium.
* Linear response function, a general way to represent the input-output characteristics of a system.
* Object-relational impedance mismatch, difficulties encountered when a relational database management system is in an object-oriented programming language.

Still no idea how it's relevant.

Bio-electrical impedance analysis. electrical impulses travel at a different rate through fat and lean tissue. Its a method of estimating body fat.

Could i perform this test with a toaster ?

only if your standing or sitting in a pool of water DSM.

How do i obtain the results ? on the next serving of toast ?

Taken on 9/9/2008

AGE = 38
Height = 6 FOOT
WEIGHT = 191.2 LBS
BMI = 27.5
BMR = 7925 kj / 1894 cal
IMPEDANCE = 425
FAT % = 13.1%
FAT MASS = 25.01 LBS
FFM = 166.21LBS
TBW = 121.61 LBS

Taken on 9/17/2008

AGE = 38
Height = 6 FOOT
WEIGHT = 185.0 LBS
BMI = 26.2
BMR = 7794 kj / 1863 cal
IMPEDANCE = 448
FAT % = 12.5
FAT MASS = 23.21 LBS
FFM = 161.81LBS
TBW = 118.41 LBS

Can someone please help me understand what happened. Looks like I lost about some fat weight .. buthte total of that doesn't reconcile to the total weight loss. WHAT did I loos with the fat ?

Impedance probably has to do with determining his bf percentage.

You know those bf testers where you hold the metal grips. I would imagine those are testing the impedance (which is the reciprocal of the conductivity) through you body.

Obviously fat and lean mass have different conductivity
