- Aim measures up to 24 different muscle groups, so you can see your strongest areas and the ones you need to improve
- By measuring four muscles (biceps, triceps, abs, and quads), you get a total body fat % and MQ score
- Each measurement takes less than a second and results are immediately displayed
- Aim sends your results to your IOS/Android Bluetooth Smart to track progress, and exercise smarter
MQ, or Muscle Quality, is calculated by analyzing how current flows through muscle tissue using multi-frequency signals applied with four different sensor configurations.
Since current flows differently in muscles based on their composition and muscle fiber size, Aim is able to evaluate the quality of your muscles.
Skulpt has spent the last four years optimizing the placement of the 12 sensors it uses, the frequencies of the signals it applies, and the algorithms it uses to calculate MQ.
Just like your IQ, the average person has an MQ of 100 for each muscle. The higher the MQ, the stronger, more defined, and more fit the muscle will be.
Aim is useful for anybody interested in maintaining and improving their fitness, regardless whether you’re an enthusiast or a beginner. If you’re a pro, Aim lets you target specific muscle groups tracking your strongest areas and the ones that need improvement so you can optimize your training and know exactly how it’s affecting your body.
Beginner? Aim helps you track how your body is changing, so you don’t need to track the activity that gets you there. Measuring your fat percentage and MQ, you’re able to see when you’re losing fat and gaining muscle - the result of your efforts.
Aim is the world’s first device to measure your results by muscle. Strengthen the muscles you want to improve most, and understand how your fat is spread throughout the body. See your progress sooner with real-time results, and stay motivated as you become a better U!
Understanding your body is key. Aim’s mobile app syncs with Aim to track your progress over time, show you how your body is changing, enabling you to set goals and optimize your training.
There are a number of ways to measure body composition (total body fat).
- Unlike bio-impedance scales, Aim is not affected by your hydration or bone density
- Aim compares closely to the gold standard hydrostatic (underwater) weighing, in accuracy, and its also a lot more convenient and far less expensive
- A lot more convenient, and far less expensive than Hydrostatic Weighing or Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DEXA)
- On average Aim is 3 times more accurate than skinfold calipers as it minimizes the chance of human error. Aim is also less painful, and doesn’t require another person to pinch your fat
More importantly, Aim is the only device to measure muscle quality (MQ)! The "M" in EIM is for "myography" which literally means "the description of muscles".
- Aim uses a technique called Electrical Impedance Myography (EIM), that was developed by our co-founder Seward Rutkove, MD, Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School.
- EIM was developed at Harvard, MIT and other top universities and has been studied for more than a decade at dozens of hospitals on thousands of people around the US.
- In EIM, various sensors are used to apply very small amounts of current directly to your muscles. Current flows differently in fat than in muscle, and it flows differently based on how fit a muscle is.
- Aim measures thousands of data points for each muscle and uses algorithms that we have refined over the last five years to calculate the fat percentage and MQ.
