Pronunciation

When to use it

Cultural Note

Many Italian gyms have professional bioimpedance scales ('bilance impedenziometriche') that measure body fat, muscle mass, and hydration. Regular 'rilevamenti corporei' (body measurements) every 4–8 weeks are standard practice as part of a trainer-led programme.
