Abstract

Objective: to study the parameters of body composition in young athletes engaged in cyclic sports. Material and methods. The differentiated parameters of body composition in young athletes have been revealed on the basis of the examination data of 60 cyclic athletes at the age of 13-15. The bioimpedance analyzer Medass AVS-01 was used for determination of the body composition parameters. Results. The performed bioimpedance analysis confirms specificity of the component body structure of young athletes engaged in cyclic sports. Conclusion. Thus the component body structure of the young athletes has been obtained by the results of the bioimpedance analysis. The majority of the body composition parameters of the examined athletes did not exceed the bounds of the normalized values. Statistically significant gender differences of the body composition features of young athletes doing cyclic sports have been found.
