Tanita Ironman™ Body Composition Monitor

Tanita and Ironman have joined forces to provide a new level of detail to high-performance fitness monitoring. The new Ironman BC-548 body composition monitors are designed for top-notch athletes taking their fitness to the next level. The Ironman name represents dedication to peak performance and athletic accomplishment. The new co-branded line of monitors uses the most advanced technology available to examine total body composition - Weight, Body Fat %, Body Water %, Muscle Mass, Bone Mass, Basal Metabolic Rate, Metabolic Age, Visceral Fat and Physique Rating (See the specifications for this particular model). For top tier athletes or those striving to take their performance to the next level, they offer the best in innovation.

Tanita Ironman BC548 Body Composition Monitor uses Bioelectric Impedance Analysis (BIA), the same accurate technology used for monitoring body fat. BIA sends a safe, low-level electrical signal through the body. The signal passes freely through the fluids contained in muscle tissue and blood, but it encounters difficulty when passing through fat tissue, which contains little water. By using the impedance reading, gender, height and weight, the scale can quickly and reliably calculate body fat and total body water percentages.
