Q

What is Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis?

A

The principle of this technique is that an electrical current is passed through the body, and resistance to that current is measured.

The greater the percent body fat, the higher the resistance to the electrical current. Fat resists electricity, as it is an insulator, while LBM conducts electricity because it contains water and electrolytes.
