How Does the Acv8rlives Body Analyser
Bluetooth 4.0 Work?
The Acv8rlives Body Analyser Bluetooth 4.0 uses a measurement principle known as
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA). A very small current is sent through your
body, through your feet and legs. The current ows with lile electrical resistance
through lean muscular ssue, which is full of uid. By contrast, body fat has a high
electrical resistance—it acts as an electrical insulator. By measuring your body’s
resistance to the current (its impendence), the proporon of muscle can be
calculated. From this, the quanty of fat and water can then be esmated.
The size of the current used is only about 1 mA—this is a minuscule current and you
will not feel it. However, the Acv8rlives Body Analyser Bluetooth 4.0 should NOT be
used by those ed with a pace maker or if you have any other electrically-operated
medical device ed.
The Best Time to Measure Your Body
Composion
Our water content can vary at dierent mes during the day and since body fat
percentage is calculated by measuring the water content, our body fat reading can
also vary throughout the day. There is no right or wrong me of the day to take a
reading, but we nd it most consistent to measure our body weight and water
content rst thing in the morning before eang or drinking and aer using the toilet.
It is about making the measurement consistent.
Taking measurement aer having a bath or sauna, or following intensive exercise, or
within 1-2 hours of drinking in quanty or eang a meal is going to distort the values
generated.
Never aempt to take readings when you are wet, aer a shower or vigorous
exercise.
Make sure that your Acv8rlives Body Analyser Bluetooth 4.0 is placed on a level,
hard surface.
DO NOT aempt to use the Acv8rlives Body Analyser Bluetooth 4.0 on a carpeted
surface—erroneous values will be generated.
