Index Scales - what are good numbers for Bone Mass & skeletal muscle mass?

Former Member over 8 years ago

Hi everyone.

Index scales are happily recording but I cannot find any information about what might be good or bad about the numbers for Bone Mass and Skeletal Muscle mass.

There is a lot of information about bands of BMI and body water % for different sexes and athletic levels but I'm in the dark with bones and muscle masses.

Can anyone lead me to relevant information about what the numbers the scales are telling me?

Bone mass Skeletal muscle mass WTF?

It seems no one knows.

I'm surprised that Garmin wouldn't offer any insight into what the scales display.

Type the same question into Google, and you'll get hundreds of documents speaking about it. Briefly told - it depends on many of conditions, and on your preferences.There will be dramatically different muscle mass percentage goal at marathon runners, than at sprinters, or at body builders. What is more important than the abosulute value, it the evolution of your muscle mass - that can tell you what effect the training has on your musculature.
