Person Scales |
||||
Person scales are commodities which are useful for the designation of a person’s weight. The scale can be analog or digital. Usual person scales have a measuring rate from 0 pounds to 300 pounds, but scales for obesities have measurements up to 600 pounds. Person scales should be in every home, because it’s important to control your weight- underweight and overweight can be dangerous. In the past there were spring scales at home which were very inaccurate. The weight of these person scales were determined and shown with a spring mechanism. Today the most person scales are digital. The weight is determined electric and is shown digital. Usually they are exacter and easier to read off as the older spring scales. Now the most of the digital person scales don’t confine themselves on measuring the weight of a person. They provide a lot of additional functions.

The most usual additional function of person scale is the designation of the body fat. In this measurement the body fat is measured by a person scale, named body-fat scale. A weak alternating current (AC) is induced threw the body. Then the resistor of the body is measured, but the results are inaccurate. Lots of factors must consider. A full urinary bladder or dehydration after sport chances the results of the measurement. You just can have fairly results if you weigh yourself every day at the same time and under the same terms. So if you want to weigh your body fat exactly you have to weigh yourself after toilet in the morning or after shower, because of the dry skin. The same holds true for person scales which measure the amount of muscles and water with the electric resistor of the body. They are also inaccurate. Then there are person scales they work together with the BMI (body mass index). The scale has to know the weight and the height of the person. The BMI is an indicator to see if the person has a normal, an over or an underweight. Soon you can find a video to our person scales. |
