A lower value is often found in athletes. Depending on the type of sports, training intensity and physical

constitution, values may result which are below the recommended values stated. It should, however, be

noted that there could be a danger to health in the case of extremely low values.

Body water percentage

The body water percentage is normally within the following ranges:

Man Woman

Age poor good very good Age poor good very good

10 –100 <50 % 50 – 65 % >65 % 10 –100 <45 % 45 – 60 % >60 %

Body fat contains relatively little water. Therefore persons with a high body fat percentage have body

water percentages below the recommended values. With endurance athletes, however, the recommended

values could be exceeded due to low fat percentages and high muscle percentage.

This scale is unsuitable for measuring body water in order to draw medical conclusions concerning age-

related water retention, for example. If necessary ask your physician. Basically, a high body water percent-

age should be the aim.

Muscle percentage

The muscle percentage is normally within the following ranges:

Man Woman

Age low normal high Age low normal high

10 –14 <44 % 44 – 57 % >57 % 10 –14 <36 % 36 – 43 % >43 %

15 –19 <43 % 43 – 56 % >56 % 15 –19 <35 % 35 – 41 % >41 %
