Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis
The seca TRU products measure body composition using bioimpedance analysis. In this procedure, a barely perceptible alternating current is passed through the body, and the electrical resistance (impedance) is measured. Muscles conduct the current better, while fat conducts it less well. This allows the type of tissue present in the body to be determined based on the measured resistance values.
To ensure that precise values are calculated from body resistance measurements, we have compared our seca TRU to sophisticated methods in clinical studies. For muscle mass, for example, the results were compared with whole-body MRI scans. The results showed that the measurements matched 97% of the time. For you, this means, on the one hand, that you can easily determine the muscle mass of those you’re training with the same accuracy as a whole-body MRI, and on the other hand, that they always receive precise, reliable, and medically valid measurement results.
Measuring Success, Boosting Motivation
The demand for precise and modern methods of training analysis is growing steadily. More and more fitness centers are turning to bioimpedance analysis (BIA) to provide their members with detailed insights into their body composition. The seca TRU is revolutionizing this process with scientifically validated measurements and a user-friendly interface.
Thanks to its seamless integration with leading studio management systems such as EGYM, Technogym, and Milon, the seca TRU can be optimally incorporated into existing workflows. The intelligent seca analytics 125 software enables automatic data analysis and progress tracking, allowing members to monitor their progress at any time—for greater motivation and effective training.
