Body composition is acknowledged as a determinant of athletic health and performance. Its
assessment is crucial in evaluating the efficiency of a diet or aspects related to the nutritional …

The body composition phenotype of an athlete displays the complex interaction among
genotype, physiological and metabolic demands of a sport, diet, and physical training …

Background Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a rapid and user-friendly technique for
assessing body composition in sports. Currently, no sport-specific predictive equations are …

Purpose: Bioimpedance data through bioimpedance vector analysis (BIVA) is used to
evaluate cellular function and body fluid content. This study aimed to (i) identify whether …

Low energy availability (LEA) causes impaired physiological functioning. Cross-country
running is a weight-sensitive sport, making athletes more prone to LEA. We aimed to …

Bodybuilders are athletes characterized by high muscle mass. During competitions, the
evaluation is performed based on aesthetic parameters. The study aims to provide …

Background: Electrical impedance myography (EIM) is a non-invasive method that provides
information about muscle health and changes that occur within it. EIM is based on the …

The purpose of this study was to assess the correlation between the body composition,
multiple repeated sprint ability (MRSAB) test, and vertical jump performance. Fifteen …

More than half a century of skeletal muscle research is continuing at Padua University (Italy)
under the auspices of the Interdepartmental Research Centre of Myology (CIR-Myo), the …

This study aimed to verify the relationship between changes in thigh muscle‐localized
