Bioimpedance: Practical Cases and Best Practices (French)
Menopause and body composition: contributions of bioimpedance
The physiological transition of menopause Menopause is a period in women’s lives characterized by a significant number of physiological changes, the main cause of which is the progressive decrease in hormone secretion by the ovaries, particularly estrogens¹. It generally lasts 4 to 5 years at a median age of 51 years²,³ and is characterized mainly […]

Phase Angle: A Marker to Monitor Athletes’ Fitness Status
Training Load and Physical Fitness The benefits of physical activity and chronic physical exercise on health are well known, with numerous musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, metabolic, and cerebral adaptations. Paradoxically, acute exercise induces significant physiological stress: increased acidity or mechanical constraints on the muscular and skeletal systems that are objectively detrimental to the body. However, it is […]
The Phase Angle: What Is It and Why Is It Becoming Necessary?
Definition of Phase Angle In bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), the phase angle is a raw bioelectrical parameter obtained in two ways: The calculation of this parameter suggests that the phase angle would not be associated with biological functions or structures; however, the interest in it in the scientific literature and its clinical use has strongly […]
