Bioelectrical Impedance Analyzer estimates body composition by measuring the body's resistance to current flow. A body with more muscle will also have more total body water. A body with more fat will have less total body water and greater resistance to current flow.

Test Validity & Reliability
The test varies depending on how much a person is hydrated before taking it. The more the student is hydrated the better and more accurate the score of the BIA OMRON device will be. The device may not be reliable depending on the person because the body fat percentage and BMI will vary person to person. Therefore students should not compare their scores to other classmates. The student also should not take this test after they have done any type of strenuous workout. It is very valid to monitor change because the main focus of our classroom is for everyones personal improvement in our fitness program.
