Electronic scales can be conventional or diagnostic - with the function of measuring body composition. About such models - a little lower, but now let's focus on the usual ones.

Scales

What to look for when buying?

Maximum allowable weight

This characteristic is important for safe (for scales) use of the instrument. As a rule, the allowable weight is 160 kilograms. But now there are a lot of models that allow people weighing up to 160, 180 and even 200 kg to be weighed.

Control features in expensive models

An external control unit is found in some expensive models (more often in professional models, for example, SECA, Tanita brands), but it is also found in household ones, for example, the Breurer BF 100. The cost of household electronic scales with an external control unit starts from 6000-8000 rubles. The owner of a scale with a remote unit does not have to bend over to view the results or enter their data (if it is a diagnostic scale). The unit is attached to a stand, which is installed in front of the scale and connected to the scale with a cord or wirelessly. Some models have a remote control, which is also convenient.

Scales with remote control

Manage scales from your phone or tablet, link with fitness bracelets and smart watch, the ability to connect to a computer via a USB port - all this is also there and is actively developing. First of all, these technologies are promoted by brands specializing in beauty and health equipment: for example, Breurer, Medisana.

Smart scales transmit a signal to a smartphone or PC

Auto power on and auto power off

Almost all household scales turn on automatically when you stand on the platform, but some inexpensive models have "glitches": you need to kick them and shake them up - then they turn on. If you don’t want this, try how the scales work in the store.

Auto power off is available in the vast majority of models, but it is important that it is not too fast - when the screen goes blank after 2 seconds, you have not yet had time to recover from the numbers you see (relevant for diagnostic scales), or too long - if the display turns off after seconds 20, then all this time the battery charge is simply wasted.

Batteries

As a rule, scales are powered by AA (“finger”) or AAA (“little finger”) batteries, and scales with a compartment for a CR2032 lithium “tablet” are also quite common. See for yourself what is more convenient for you: the duration of work depends on the quality of the selected batteries. But you should pay attention to the compartment for them: in some models it opens in such a way that it is difficult not to break your nails.

Battery indicator

It is convenient if the scales have a battery level indicator. It is important to understand that the battery is working normally, because the accuracy of the measurement directly depends on this.

Measurement accuracy

The advertisements of many electronic (both simple and diagnostic) scales say that they measure “to the nearest gram” - this does not make sense already because the price of division on the scale or the least significant digit on the scale screen is usually 100 g. the measurement error for you will be 50 g - this is a "very accurate measurement." In principle, this is quite enough to control weight. Three things are important:

1. working battery charge
2. correct installation of the scales (on a flat floor)
3. weighing on the same balance, standing in the same place, at about the same time (for example, in the morning) and in the same physiological state (for example, before breakfast).

Diagnostic scales with the ability to control via smartphone

Design

Weighing platforms are made from the most different materials- here to choose the buyer. The most common are plastic, metal, tempered glass, wood. Glass platforms are the most diverse in terms of design: sea pebbles and shells are placed under the glass, paintings are made on it, there are platforms “under the skin”, and the glass itself - even just black - looks stylish. But it must be looked after - like any glass or mirror. A tree (for example, bamboo) looks extraordinarily beautiful, and it is pleasant to stand on such a platform with bare feet. Recently, the "children's" design has been popular, when cartoon characters are depicted on the platform.

Tempered glass platform

The weighing results can be displayed on the dial with an arrow or on the display - the main thing here is that you can clearly see everything from the height of your height.

You can find round, square, rectangular scales - the shape does not matter for measurement.

wall mount

There are models that are called "watch-scales". They can be hung on the wall - this is how the storage issue is solved, and at the same time they show the time. But in general, it is recommended to weigh yourself on scales standing in the same place - both constant movements in themselves and small differences in floor unevenness can adversely affect the measurement accuracy.

Watch scales

Diagnostic scales: find out the truth about yourself

Diagnostic (or analytical) scales not only measure body weight, but also analyze its composition. Most models can determine the percentage (less often measured in kg) in the human body of water, fat, bone and muscle mass, some automatically calculate and display the body mass index (BMI or BMI) and the recommended daily calorie intake to maintain optimal weight.

Diagnostic scales

Why these anatomical details?

First of all, to evaluate the effectiveness (or futility) of the diet or nutrition system that you follow, and also to understand whether you need to increase physical activity. For example, you are on a diet, kilograms go away, but are these kilograms? Are you losing predominantly muscle mass? Or, conversely, you need to gain weight. It's wrong if you just "put on fat" and the muscles don't grow. It is especially important to monitor the "muscle-fat-water" ratio for athletes, for them the norms are somewhat different from the norms for ordinary people, and in some models of weights there are special modes for athletes.

Secondly, in some diseases and conditions, it is important to control the amount of fluid in the body in order to prevent or recognize the appearance of edema in time. Diagnostic scales will show that there is too much (or little) water in the tissues.

bamboo platform

It is believed that for older people it is important to monitor the content of bone mass - with age, calcium leaves the bone tissue, the skeleton becomes lighter. It is arguable that watching this process will add vigor, but still, if the doctor tells you to monitor the condition of the skeleton, you can follow it.

In most models, the measurement goes like this: first you just weigh yourself, then get off the platform and enter personal data on the control panel: gender, age, height, plus, if provided, an athlete or non-athlete. The scales give you an “account”: they assign a number - and in some models you can enter a username, and display the results of the analysis - how much you have, and recommendations (calorie intake, if there is such a function) taking into account gender, age, height and activity level.

What to look for when buying diagnostic scales?

Has all the features you need

There are models in which "as if something is missing." For example, everything is measured, but muscle mass is not (like some Vitek models). Well, how do we determine the effectiveness of the diet? Or they don’t bring out the norm of calories, but you need it (there are plenty of them). Or almost nothing is shown as a percentage, but only with the help of an indicator they make it clear whether there is more or less fat (some Tefal Bodysignal models). What about talking? How much more? Light bulbs and lights are cute and easy to use, but sometimes you need numbers.

Ergonomics of control

This is perhaps the most important thing, because if the scales are inconvenient to use, then you simply stop doing it. So the important thing is:

1. So that the display and control panel (for all analytical balances it is electronic) are either Russified or duplicate English abbreviations with intuitive icons: water, bones, etc.
2. So that you can clearly see what is displayed on the display from your height. From this point of view, good large displays with backlight.
3. So that all information - weight, bones, fat, water, muscles, BMI, calories - is displayed on the screen sequentially and delayed for at least a few seconds, otherwise it is inconvenient to perceive and remember. The option when everything is displayed on the display at once and after two seconds it goes out is bad.
4. To have several memory cells for all family members. Usually there are 10 "slots", but some scales are limited to 4 slots (eg Tefal Bodysignal series).

Floor scales are a necessary item household appliances, because daily control of body weight makes it possible to adjust your weight for an impeccable appearance, health and longevity. Diagnostic models of scales combine high-precision weighing and determining the quantitative ratios of various tissues in the body.

Scales with memory: functionality and convenience

How to remember weighing results? How to track the dynamics of the results? Scales with memory is an achievement of science and technology that will help you create the perfect body and keep the result for years to come. Scales with memory small devices, capable of measuring a number of parameters and storing a large amount of information.

What are they - scales with memory?

scales is a measuring device. Depending on the principle of operation, they are divided into two types:

• mechanical

Each of these types has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Mechanical scales do not require the installation of batteries and are ready to perform their immediate function - weighing almost at any moment. They are easy to use and can withstand higher loads. You will see the result of weighing on the scoreboard, where the arrow and the measuring scale are located. In relation to electronic devices, mechanical devices have a low price, but they are inferior to them in many technical parameters.

Electronic balance give the result of weighing on the electronic scoreboard. Depending on the scale model, in addition to body weight, other parameters will be displayed on the screen, for example, indications of the distribution of bone tissue, muscles and fat in your body. These devices will ideally analyze the state of your body and tell you what to pay attention to in the next workout.

Scales with memory - where and who needs them?

The ability to memorize weighing results makes these devices a reliable assistant:

• athletes;
• doctors;
• parents;
• people seeking a healthy lifestyle.

All scales are distributed according to the place of their application:

• Diet - use them in the kitchen to prepare healthy meals. With them, you control the calorie content of food, determine the presence and amount of fats, proteins and carbohydrates in it. Up to a thousand different products can be stored in the balance's memory.
• Diagnostic - the user enters his data into the memory of the scales: height and age. After measuring the weight, the device analyzes the received data and calculates the ratio of fat, bone and muscle tissue in the body.
• Baby - will help you control the weight of the child before and after feeding, with them you will easily monitor the development of the child and calculate the difference between weighings.

Electronic diagnostic floor scales are a great helper not only for athletes, but also for an ordinary person who wants to keep his body healthy. Surprisingly, few people can believe that a seemingly ordinary device is capable of determining all important indicators with high accuracy. A simple buyer is distrustful of such scales, since they are not yet popular enough. Basically, they are installed in specialized health care institutions or in sports sections, where there is a need to constantly monitor the changes taking place in the body.

Despite the low demand, floor diagnostic scales deserve attention. Those people who want to lose weight will not be able to do without them. Ordinary devices will only be able to display the weight of a person, and a “smart” device will even calculate how many percent of fat mass has gone during the diet.

So, let's figure out how these scales work, get acquainted with their range, and also study user reviews.

Diagnostic scales - what is it?

Currently, technology manufacturers are constantly improving technology. The segment of weights progress also did not pass by. The introduced innovative developments allowed to improve the device as much as possible. Now, in addition to the usual scales on the shelves of stores, you can also see They are also called diagnostic. What is the difference between them? “Smart” devices during weighing display body weight, separately display information on fat accumulation, biological age and amount of water on the scoreboard. Also, a person can find out how much bone or muscle tissue weighs. It is these indicators together that will keep the body in excellent condition.

This device must be used by dieticians. Definitely, it belongs to the class of medical equipment. The cost for such scales starts at about rubles, and the more functions they have, the higher the price.

In appearance, they practically do not differ from ordinary ones. The same square shape is used, there is a scoreboard.

Principle of operation

Most buyers ask themselves: “How do diagnostic scales work?” Instructions, which can be found in the kit, answer this question in detail. And in the article we will consider only the main points.

Surprisingly, the human body sees through such a small device. It is enough to put your feet in specially designed places. The principle of operation of the scales is quite simple, based on the laws of physics. The front panel displays electrodes that emit electrical impulses. Their strength is weak, therefore, passing through the body, they do not cause pain to a person. Each fabric has a different level of resistance, thanks to which the device receives certain indicators. The developers program the appropriate norms, on the basis of which the final numbers displayed on the scoreboard are calculated.

In order to get the correct results, you must enter the sex, age and height of the person. It is in relation to them that the device will conduct a comparative characteristic.

During testing, the instruments show a high level of accuracy. However, when buying budget models, one must be prepared for the fact that they can slightly reduce the weight of bone tissue and body fat. For example, the Scarlet diagnostic scales belong to the middle segment. Their calculations are not ultra-precise, but users paid attention to the absence of fluctuations with an error of up to 1-2 kg.

Possibilities of diagnostic scales

These devices are programmed to determine 8 body parameters. They are important for those who are trying to build muscle or lose weight. Naturally, one indicator will not be enough to assess the general condition of the body. Often you may encounter the fact that a person's weight remains unchanged, and with a detailed review, electronic diagnostic scales record fluctuations.

Consider what indicators are programmed in these devices:

• body mass;
• muscle tissue weight;
• visceral fat;
• biological age;
• the amount of liquid;
• body fat percentage;
• metabolism;
• bone mass.

Several factors affect these parameters. It is worth noting the gender and age of the person. But these criteria are considered not the most important. Active training and the way you eat have a greater impact.

Weight

Just knowing your weight is not enough. It is important to be able to calculate the body mass index. It is he who points to the optimal numbers. In order to derive the index, it is necessary to calculate the ratio of a person's weight to his height. Those who have not yet purchased a diagnostic scale will have to do it themselves. If the number 30 appeared on the scoreboard, then the person is obese. An index of 25 to 30 indicates overweight. Those who get less than 15 should immediately consult a doctor, as such people have an acute mass deficiency. But an indicator from 15 to 25 is considered within the acceptable range.

Also, "smart" scales can calculate the optimal body weight. For those who want to lose weight given function just needed. Most people starve themselves in order to achieve generally accepted standards, completely ignoring individual differences.

muscles

A person can move thanks to the muscles. The more active it is, the more energy the body needs. Nutritionists strongly advise against losing weight without exercise. It is during classes that weight loss occurs, due to the burning of fat. You can do any kind of sport, it all depends on the preferences of the person. Fitness is perfect, during training all muscle groups are involved. It is important to pay attention to what causes weight loss. For example, for control, you can use the diagnostic BF100, which is not only equipped with a wide range of functions, but also connected to a PC for ease of use. If the indicator of muscle mass began to decrease, then this will lead to serious consequences. During training, it is imperative to monitor nutrition. The diet should include protein in in large numbers, since it is he who is the "building material". With its shortage, internal reserves are replenished from muscle tissue, and this can lead to its complete drying out.

Let's talk about fat

According to most overweight people, the biggest enemy is fat. However, few people know that its presence in the body is mandatory. In the absence of a fatty layer, malfunctions in the body may occur. It is impossible to determine which of them is redundant without special measurements. All the more serious mistake is the opinion that in this matter one can be guided by the body index or the presence of folds on the stomach and other places.

It is important to understand that both deficiency and excess can cause irreparable harm. In the second case, people with increased fat mass often suffer from cardiovascular diseases, diseases of the liver and kidneys. Sometimes even diabetes can develop. A smart scale will help you determine your fat mass. For people who are losing weight, it is important to note that with weight loss, the indicator of muscle tissue should increase. But fat deposits, on the contrary, decrease. These processes must occur simultaneously.

Water

One of the important components of the body is water. Many mistakenly believe that a person contains at least 80% of it. Diagnostic scales will help dispel this myth. Depending on the gender, the water index will not exceed 60%.

In hot weather, people sweat profusely, which can lead to dehydration. Doctors recommend drinking at least 1.5-2 liters of water per day. Thanks to this, well-being immediately improves, mood rises, weakness disappears. It is not advisable to replace water with drinks, such as tea or coffee, since when they are taken, only about 10% of the liquid is absorbed in the body. If the weight exceeds 80 kg, then the daily rate can be slightly increased.

Metabolism

In the process of losing weight, it is important to know how fast the body's metabolism occurs. In simple words this means: how many calories are burned without physical activity in a certain period of time. When choosing a diet, this parameter must be taken into account. If there is no desire to go to the doctor, then you can use diagnostic scales. Some models, for example, Scarlett SC-BS33ED79 VitaSpa are able to independently calculate the daily amount of calories.

The metabolism of overweight people is different high speed. At the beginning of losing weight, weight is shed rather quickly, but over time it slows down and already on the scales, instead of the cherished 5 kg, only 1-2 kg is displayed. Unfortunately, it is impossible to change this fact, since this is a feature of the body.

Bone

For people who are losing weight, the bone mass indicator is not very interesting. Indeed, human bones do not decrease in size. However, for athletes, it is one of the main ones. With a decrease in the level of calcium in the body, changes occur. They are displayed on the strength of the tissue, making the bones brittle. With increased physical exertion, this can lead to serious injury. In order to be able to calculate bone mass, you can purchase Vitek VT1967-W, Medisana ISA and others.

Diagnostic scales: owner reviews

According to most buyers, these scales allow you to save a significant amount on the services of a trainer and a dietitian. There is now a lot of information about proper nutrition, and it will also not be difficult to independently choose the optimal set of exercises. But body composition analyzers will help monitor weight loss and changes in body parameters. A detailed review of them clearly highlighted a certain list of advantages. These include measurement accuracy, beautiful design, compact size, simple operation, high level of reliability. Also worth noting is additional functions, for example, storing up to 10 users in memory. This option is provided in models of brands Scarlett, Medisana, Vitek, Beurer and others.

But even here it was not without drawbacks. The most important include restrictions on the use of scales by people with a pacemaker and pregnant women. It is also worth noting that cheap options often distort the data.
