    Question Help me translate this Body Comp ticket numbers

    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 ?

    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.

    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
