Assessment of Body Composition in Athletes: A Narrative Review of Available Methods with Special Reference to Quantitative and Qualitative Bioimpedance Analysis
Date:
Authors:
Campa F., Toselli S., Mazzilli M., Gobbo L.A. and Coratella G.
Journal:
Nutrients
Topic:
Athletes’ health and performance are known to be strictly related to their body composition. Very recently, specific equations and references have been made available for this sport-specific population.
The narrative review summarizes current literature with a special focus on BIA and BIVA technologies in athletes, therefore providing recommendations for the assessment of body composition in these subjects and highlighting new perspectives in monitoring the nutritional status and seasonal changes in athletes.

Maturity related differences in body composition assessed by classic and specific bioimpedance vector analysis among male elite youth soccer players.

Journal:
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health
Topic:
The study gives new references for BIVA analysis on football elite players from men’s youth sector. Classic BIVA analysis highlights an increase in TBW with the progressive somatic development, whilst FM% remains at similar levels. Athletes with early physical development are characterized by shorter vectors and a higher phase angle in respect of peers that develop later.

Castizo-Olier J., Carrasco-Marginet M., Roy A., Chaverri D., Iglesias X., Pérez-Chirinos C., Irurtia A.
Journal:
Journal of Sports Science & Medicine
Topic:
Triathletes show specific bioimpedance patterns. BIVA analysis enables tracking of fluid loss and muscle fatigue induced by the competitive event and shows a correlation with several performance parameters.

Journal:
Clinical Nutrition
Topic:
In athletic population, specific BIVA approach seems to be more accurate to evaluate variations in FM%, whilst classic BIVA enables to evaluate TBW with more precision. Both approaches enable to evaluate changes in ECW/ICW through phase angle.
