What is Athlete mode?
Smart Scales have become popular tools in today's modern world for individuals looking to monitor their weight and body composition, especially for those on a weight loss journey. At the same time, we realize that a growing segment of the population takes fitness and body management extremely seriously and engages in regular, intense physical activities. Recognizing the unique needs of this group, we have refined the algorithms used in eufy Smart Scales to include a more suitable and accurate calculation known as the Athlete mode to provide precise data.
eufy Smart Scale's Athlete mode is a specialized setting designed to account for the physical differences often found in athletes and fitness enthusiasts. This mode accounts for active individuals' tendency to have a higher muscle mass and lower body fat percentage than an average person. Since muscle tissue is denser and conducts electricity faster than fat tissue, traditional body fat measurement methods can be inaccurate for athletes. Therefore, eufy Smart Scale's Athlete mode provides a more accurate assessment by accounting for an individual's increased muscle mass and metabolic rate.
However, it is important to note that even with Athlete mode, there can be a few variabilities in the accuracy of body fat measurements due to an individual's hydration levels, meal timing, and other factors. Therefore, using the body fat scale consistently under similar conditions is highly recommended to obtain the most reliable trend of body composition over time.
In conclusion, eufy Smart Scale's Athlete mode is essential for individuals with higher muscle mass and lower fat percentage due to regular, intense physical activities. By adjusting the algorithm to adapt to the unique body composition of athletes, eufy Smart Scale can provide a more accurate reflection of an individual's fitness and health status.
