INFORMATION ON BODY COMPOSITION SKELETAL MUSCLE Skeletal muscle is the type of muscle that we can see and feel. When you work out to increase muscle mass, skeletal muscle is being exercised. Skeletal muscles attach to the skeleton and come in pairs -- one muscle to move the bone in one direction and another to move it back the other way. Increasing skeletal muscle will increase your body's energy requirements. The more muscle you have, the more calories your body will burn. Building skeletal muscle can help prevent "rebound" weight gain. The maintenance and increase of skeletal muscle is closely linked to resting metabolism rate.

INFORMATION ON BODY COMPOSITION
SKELETAL MUSCLE
Skeletal muscle is the type of muscle that we can see and feel. When you work out to increase muscle
mass, skeletal muscle is being exercised. Skeletal muscles attach to the skeleton and come in pairs -- one
muscle to move the bone in one direction and another to move it back the other way. Increasing skeletal
muscle will increase your body’s energy requirements. The more muscle you have, the more calories
your body will burn. Building skeletal muscle can help prevent “rebound” weight gain. The maintenance
and increase of skeletal muscle is closely linked to resting metabolism rate.

BODY AGE
Body age is based on your resting metabolism. Body age is calculated by using your weight, body fat
percentage and skeletal muscle percentage to produce a guide to whether your body age is above or
below the average for your actual age.
