Body fat measuring instrument in gym usually adopts bioelectrical impedance method. The principle is that body fat is almost non-conductive, while body components such as muscle and water are easily conductive. Therefore, the body fat detector can calculate the proportion of body fat, water and other tissue components by measuring the bioelectrical impedance of human body.

This measurement method is established in theory, but there are too many uncontrollable factors, from the design, installation, position and state of the machine to the time when people measure, the moisture contained in the body, the state of the body, and even the connection between people and the machine, the connection parts, the connection differences and so on. , which may have an impact on the measurement results.
