It is assumed that the value (for example, trunk / whole body) of the body fat percentage of the user (measurer) exceeds the average of the 30s (less than the average of the 40s). In that case, the evaluation processing unit 123 determines that the body fat percentage of the user's trunk is equivalent to the 30s and determines the balance age of the body fat percentage of the trunk as the 30s. In addition, it is not limited to such a method, for example, when the ratio of the body fat percentage of the user (measurer) is closer to the average of the 30s than the average of the 20s, the balance age is 30s You may judge.
  • the ratio of the body fat percentage of the user (measurer) is closer to the average of the 30s than the average of the 20s, the balance age is 30s You may judge.

That is, in the part evaluation table 1402, for example, an average value of the ratios by part where the level of the item 64 is “standard” can be set as the average value of each age. In this case, the distribution table 1403 may not be stored in the memory 14.

It is possible to recognize whether the ratio is higher or lower than the others of the physical attributes of the user. As a result, the user can specifically grasp which part should make an effort to reduce the body fat percentage.

Therefore, even if the body fat percentage of the user's whole body is an average value in the user's physical attributes, it is possible to know the bias of how to apply fat for each part, so that targeted exercise can be performed. . Also, even if the body fat percentage of the user's whole body is higher than the standard value of the user's physical attributes, if there is no bias in how to apply fat for each part (if the balance is good), then the whole body exercise must be done I understand that it doesn't become.
