weigh-ins

Weigh-ins are a standard procedure used to measure a person's body weight, often before sports competitions, medical assessments, or weight management programs. They are usually conducted using a calibrated scale to ensure accuracy. The primary purpose is to verify if someone meets a specific weight requirement or to track weight changes over time. In sports like boxing or wrestling, weigh-ins determine eligibility for a particular weight class, ensuring fair competition. Weigh-ins are typically performed in a controlled, private setting and conducted just before a contest or assessment to provide current, reliable weight data.
