CHANGES OF BODY COMPOSITION PARAMETERS AFTER MAXIMUM AEROBIC LOAD USING BIA METHOD
Journal Title: Medicina Sportiva - Year 2011, Vol 15, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction: In the course of a spiroergometric test external physiological symptoms and internal response of the organism to the load can be followed. It is clear that gradual load increase up to “vita maxima“ must at the same time lead to changes in body hydration. The question is whether the change is big enough to be manifested in the results of measurements of body composition by the bioimpedance method. Objective: The purpose of the present study therefore is to find out the scope of change of body hydration post maximum aerobic load by means of bioimpedance device TANITA 418 MA using the Treadmill Test and to assess potential effects of this change on the resulting values of the body composition parameters. Methods: The research population included 78 males with regular physical activity. Their body composition was measured by the tetrapolar bioimpedance scales TANITA 418 MA, and the maximum aerobic performance (¦O2max) was measured by means of a test with gradual load increase (GXT) on the treadmill. The length of the aerobic load was up to 12 minutes. Results: The found differences in total body water and body fat values after the spiroergometric measurement ranged within the error level of the device used. Conclusion: The load length (up to 12 min.) is sufficient for manifestation of both the external and the internal physiological symptoms as the response of the organism to aerobic load, but does not suffice for finding out changes in the body composition parameters.
