Tanita RD 953 Black

Muscle Mass Measurements 

The Tanita RD 953 is so intelligent that it can provide you with the weight of both striated and smooth muscles, including their water content. 

Bone Mass Measurements 

Studies have proven that with long-term exercise, you can develop bone tissue to create stronger and healthier bones. It is therefore important to develop and maintain healthy bones by eating a healthy diet and completing an adequate amount of physical exercise. The Tanita RD 953 is able to measure the amount of calcium and other minerals in your body, producing an accurate analysis of the weight of your bones. By utilising this feature, you can determine how much progress you need to make. 

Visceral Fat Measurements

Visceral fat is stored in the abdominal cavity and surrounds your internal organs. Studies show that although your weight and percentage of body fat generally remain the same, fat stores vary as you progress with age. Fats are increasingly stored in the abdomen, especially in menopausal women. By accurately measuring visceral fat, you can help to reduce the risk of heart disease and high blood pressure. 

Basal Metabolic Consumption

Basal Metabolic Consumption (BMR) determines the amount of calories that are required to replace essential substances in your body. BMR is the minimum energy value needed by your body to support basic functions (e.g. breathing, blood circulation, nervous system etc.). A higher basal metabolic consumption increases the number of calories and helps you to reduce the amount of overall body fat.

Metabolic Age

This function provides you with a metabolic age by comparing your basal metabolism with the mean basal metabolism of the same age group. Measuring metabolic age allows you to keep track of your body and how it feels on the inside! 

A total physical fitness measurement can be obtained by comparing the total body fat with the total muscle mass. Increased physical activity will reduce the amount of body fat, consequently changing your physical condition. If your weight remains the same, muscle mass and body fat can be measured to determine the overall improvement of your health.
