Skulpt Aim Measures Body Fat Percentage and Muscle Quality
Skulpt Aim measures the fat percentage of individual body areas, as well as the muscle quality (MQ) - a metric of the muscle's strength and definition. Using proven technology and proprietary sensors, aim collects thousands of data points per second to accurately evaluate and quantify the quality of separate muscle groups. Metrics are displayed instantly on the screen, and synced via Bluetooth to a personal online dashboard or mobile app. Users can track their progress over time, see the body's changes, and optimize their workouts accordingly.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Which mobile devices are compatible for syncing?
Aim syncs to select iOS and Android devices that support Bluetooth 4.1 technology. This includes iPhone 5 or newer models, as well as leading Android devices. Specifically, Android devices with the Jellybean 4.3 or later versions of operating system.
Which muscle groups does it measure?
Aim measures 12 muscles on both the left and right sides of your body (24 total). The muscles are: abs, biceps, calves, chest, forearms, glutes, hamstrings, lower back, quads, shoulders, triceps, and upper back.
How to measure total body?
To get a total body fat percentage or a total body MQ score, you’ll need to measure four areas: biceps, triceps, abs, and quads.
How does it compare to BIA technology (“smart scalesâ€)?
Bioelectrical impedance scales measure body composition by sending a single current starting at your feet (and sometimes your hands). Most of this current will flow through your “lean mass†as this is the most conductive, so none of the current will actually flow through your fat content. Your percentage of fat is then estimated, and highly dependent on variables such as level of hydration, bone density, etc.
In comparison, Aim uses EIM technology. This is a technique in which a current is applied directly to each muscle using optimized electrode configurations and frequencies. As a result, the current flows past the subcutaneous fat and through the muscle in a much more controlled fashion, for greater accuracy.
Additionally, Aim also measures individual muscle groups, as well as your muscle quality (MQ). Something that bioelectrical impedance scales, or any other device on the market, cannot give you.
