Comparison of Different Measurement Equations for Body Composition Estimation in Male Athletes
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this study was to compare the validity between three established prediction equations and our prediction equation referenced by DEXA (Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) on fat free mass (FFM) in Taiwan male soccer players. Methods: Twenty seven elite Taiwan soccer players were estimated by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and DEXA. The R2 value of FFM estimated by our prediction equation and DEXA was 0.918. The R2 values of FFM estimated by three different stablished prediction equations and DEXA were 0.725, 0.794 and 0.868, respectively. In summary, our specialized prediction equation shown the highest correlation among equations suggestion evaluating athletic body composition should use appropriate prediction equation rather than that of for general people.
