Digital Scales
Body fat analysis can be carried out with simple digital scales. We stock a range of accurate scales from Seca.
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysers – Bioelectrical impedance analysers send electrical currents through the body to measure voltage resistance. The higher the resistance, the slower the current passes through the body, which indicates a higher muscle content. Browse our collection of bioelectrical impedance analysers from leading brands such as Bodystat here.
