Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA)

Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) is a method used to estimate body composition by measuring the resistance of body tissues to a small electrical current. When the current is passed through the body, it travels easily through water-rich tissues, like muscles, while encountering more resistance in fat tissues. By analyzing this resistance, BIA can provide information about body fat percentage, muscle mass, and overall hydration levels. It’s commonly used in fitness and health assessments due to its quick, non-invasive nature, making it a popular choice in clinical and personal settings to monitor health and fitness progress.
