The FUTREX - 5500 Takes Body Composition Analysis to the next level:

The FUTREX-5500 is the newest and most advanced generation of the original FUTREX-5000 originally introduced by Futrex. The FUTREX-5500 is available in three separate calibration sets:

The FUTREX-5500/XL
The XL version of the FUTREX-5500 is calibrated for adults age 18 and above.

The FUTREX-5500A/ZL
The A/ZL version of the FUTREX-5500 is calibrated for adults age 18 and above, and includes a separate calibration for children from the ages of 5-17.

The FUTREX-5500A/WL
The A/WL version of the FUTREX-5500 is calibrated for adults age 18 and above, children from 5-17 and also includes a special calibration for athletic males between the ages of 13 and 23.

The FUTREX-5500 calibration has long been a favorite model in the Fitness Industry. The scientifically validated FUTREX-5500 utilizes a unique, patented method of measureing percent body fat the takes into acount not only the individual's gender, height, and weight, but also factors in a 6 month average history of the individual's exercise/activity level.

This accounting of the Frequency, Intensity, and Time (FIT) of activity aids the FUTREX-5500 (and you) to account for the long term positive effects of physical activity on your adult clients. More active adults have higher bone density (and therefor better lean mass) than less active adults. Unlike other technologies which allow your to select either an "athletic" or a "standard (non-athletic)" setting, Futrex's unique FIT Values allow you to make a highly accurate assessement of the your client.

FIT Values Explained:
When entering the FIT values, you should consider what the individual's average Frequency, Intensity and Time have been over the past six months.  

For example, if an individual has not been particularly active for a short period of time (i.e. several weeks), but had been previously training for competitive athletics, you should take that previous training regimen into account for the FIT values.  Conversely, if an individual has been training hard for a short time (i.e. several weeks), but was much less active previously, you should take the previous light activity into account for the FIT values. 

Frequency:     5 - Daily or almost daily (6 or 7 times per week)
                        4 - 3 to 5 times per week
                        3 - 1 or 2 times per week
                        2 - a few times per month
                        1 - no meaningful activity 

Note:  The frequency value should be evaluated independently of the intensity of the activity.  For example, a person who walks in the evening every day will have a frequency rating of 5 even though the intensity of the activity will be low. 

Intensity:         5 - Heavy Activity - Body Building, Running, Distance Cycling
                        4 - Moderately Heavy - Weight Training, Jogging Basketball
                        3 - Moderate - Speed Walking, Light Weight Training
                        2 - Light Moderate - Brisk Walking, Hiking, Golfing
                        1 - Light - Normal Walking, Gardening  

Time:              4 - Over 30 minutes
                        3 - 20 to 30 minutes
                        2 - 10 to 20 minutes
                        1 - Less than 10 minutes
