2. Bioelectrical impedance analysis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioelectrical_impedance...

   Bioelectrical impedance analysis ( BIA) is a method for estimating body composition, in particular body fat and muscle mass, where a weak electric current flows through the body, and the voltage is measured in order to calculate impedance ( resistance and reactance) of the body. Most body water is stored in muscle.

   method for estimating body composition, yet issues concerning its validity persist in the literature. The purpose of this study was to validate percentage of body fat (BF) values estimated from BIA and skinfold (SF) with those obtained from hydrodensitometry (HD). Percent BF values measured via hand-to-hand BIA (BIA-

   The measurement of physical dimensions of the body such as height, weight, skin-fold thickness, and circumferences. Body composition. The partitioning of the body into components such as fat mass, fat-free mass, lean body mass, bone, total body water, minerals, and proteins. Most often expressed as percent body fat.

5. Body composition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_composition

   Body composition. In physical fitness, body composition refers to quantifying the different components (or "compartments") of a human body. [1] The selection of compartments varies by model but may include fat, bone, water, and muscle. [2] Two people of the same gender, height, and body weight may have completely different body types as a ...

6. Body mass index - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Body_mass_index

   t. e. Body mass index ( BMI) is a value derived from the mass ( weight) and height of a person. The BMI is defined as the body mass divided by the square of the body height, and is expressed in units of kg/m 2, resulting from mass in kilograms (kg) and height in metres (m). The BMI may be determined first by measuring its components by means of ...

   There is abundant research available regarding the performance relationship of body composition, including football and many other branches (Mangine, Noyes, Mullen, & Barber-Westin, 1990; Ostojic, 2002). This study aims to examine the body composition of male football players who perform regular football training with Bioelectrical Impedance
