The quality of your muscle tissue matters!

The quality of your muscle tissue matters!

Muscle mass is only part of the story. This co-authored study of 2,177 individuals demonstrates that tissue functional quality plays a distinct, independent role in overall physical performance.

Key Takeaways:

  • The Phase Angle Metric: Evaluates cell membrane integrity and fluid balance using rapid bioimpedance screening.

  • Independent Factor: Higher tissue quality scores link to better functional fitness, regardless of total muscle mass.

  • Adjunct Tracking: Offers a scalable, field-ready tool to complement standard body composition testing.
