MEASUREMENT

The body fat monitor is a monitoring device. It should be used

at a fixed point in time and with a fixed period between two

measurements. For instance: once a week on a Sunday

morning. With this in mind, please find in paragraph 2.1 a

table with recommended times for measurement.

There are conditions that are not suitable for taking a body fat

measurement. There are also some exceptions that are

excluded for taking a body fat measurement. This is explained

in paragraph 2.2 and 2.3. This chapter will end with some

recom mendation (paragraph 2.4) before taking a measurement.
