the intensity of the workout, and the body structure, lower values than the
indicated values can be achieved.
However, be aware that at extremely low levels your health may be at risk.
The proportion of water in the body
The proportion of water in the body in % is normally within the following range:
Male

Female

10 - 100 <45 45 - 60 % >60
Body fat contains relatively little water. Therefore, in people with a high body
fat content, the proportion of water can be below the standard of value. On the

water in the body should be sought.
The proportion of muscle mass
The proportion of muscle mass in % is normally within the following range:
