What Is the Measurement Principle?

The Diagnostic Scale works on the principle of bioelectrical impedance analysis. A harmless current measures your electrical resistance against individual values such as your age and gender. The higher your electrical resistance the higher proportion of fat cells to muscle tissue in your body. 

What Is the Difference Between Basic and Active Metabolic Rate?

The basal metabolic rate is the base level of metabolism; the amount of calories burnt by the body to maintain normal body functions, even if you are asleep. Your active metabolic rate factors in the calories burnt by exercise over your day, and is therefore essential if you want to change your weight.
