Special calibration for very fit adults.
Tanita's "athlete" is someone who gets about 10 hours
a week of intense physical activity (this can be exercise, work or
leisure related). "Athletes" also have a resting heart
rate of about 60 beats per minute or less.
The mode includes people who have been very fit for years, but currently
exercise less than 10 hours per week.
It does not include "enthusiastic beginners" who recently
started making a real commitment to exercising 10 hours per week,
but whose bodies have not yet changed enough to qualify for the Athlete
mode.
