Thanks all, but none of this answers my question. I still would like to know the difference between how a scale computes BF in normal and Athelete mode. If no one knows how it's computed, then that's ok.
You see, I already HAVE the scale, so telling me they are inaccurate isn't going to do much. Since I've started using it, I've watched my BF% go from about 26% down to roughly 17%. I already know that I can measure myself twice in 30 seconds and get slightly different readings, both in weight by as much as a half pound and BF by as much as 1%. I'm not looking for extreme precision here, I just want some basic information as to how it does it's calculations.
Thanks.
