Abstract
The research discusses about profile and comparison of body composition of top women’s volleyball (n=12) and softball (n=14) senior category. To determine the parameters of body composition were used whole-body multifrequency bioimpedance analysis (BIA 2000).
Monitored parameters were differed in both absolute and relative values of fat free mass and percentage of fat mass representation. The higher the absolute fat free mass (FFM), respectively its relative value per kg of body weight was more represented in volleyball players.
Lower values of fat mass was found in women's volleyball (p<0.01) Conversely, the ratio of extracellular and intracellular mass (ECM/BCM) was better for softball players (p<0.01). The results of a study on body composition in our complementary health information sportswomen, nutritional status, may help explain changes in individual performance and assist in regultaion of training programs.
