Tanita BC-545N Segmental Body Composition Monitor

Following a dedicated training programme has many positive effects on the body and mind, but have you ever wondered why the scales often stay the same, or why you can’t reach a higher level of performance, despite the effort?

Thanks to the technical team at Tanita you can now get a real insight into how your body responds to diet and exercise, with the introduction of the Tanita BC-545N segmental body composition monitor.

The BC-545N uses advanced Bio-electrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) to analyse body composition, calculating your body fat, muscle mass, hydration level, metabolic rate, visceral fat and bone mass. With this information easily at hand, you can fine-tune your diet and fitness programme to ensure optimum results and help prevent injury.
This ingenious device is so technically advanced; it uses segmental BIA analysis to provide an in-depth breakdown of each body segment - namely your arms, legs and abdominal area - allowing you to specifically track changes to your body fat and muscle mass in targeted areas as your training programme progresses.

Segmental readings are also particularly important when recovering from injury. By tracking muscle build and balance you have access to vital information that can help you to monitor your progress during the rehabilitation process and speed up your return to peak fitness.
The BC-545N will also help you to monitor your body composition and maintain your fat and muscle percentages at a level that ensures optimum performance. Giving you a baseline to work from, you can regularly assess the effects of your training regime. Whilst your overall weight may not alter, you may start to see changes to your muscle mass and body fat percentage that will give you the motivation to keep on challenging yourself and upping your game.

Hydration levels can also have a large impact on your training performance, so it’s just as important to monitor fluid levels as it is fat and muscle mass. Our bodies are comprised of 40-70% water, so even a slight shift in fluid can lead to drastic changes in performance. In fact, for every 1% drop in body weight from fluid loss, there is a 2% drop in performance, making the BC-545N an invaluable training tool.
The BC-545N is easy to operate and allows up to five users to monitor their body composition and record information, which is stored in the memory for up to one year. All recorded information is shown on an easy-to-read graphic display on the hand held console. It also features auto-recognition, so that you don’t have to input your details every time you step on, helping to save time so that you can focus on your training regime.
As you continue to adapt your training programme, future readings will highlight changes in your body composition and the effect this is having on your performance, enabling you to change your exercise programme and fine-tune your workout if you are not getting the desired outcomes.

With all this essential information at your fingertips, measuring your performance and progress has never been easier, ensuring that you always stay ahead of the game.
