Abstract
Objective. To assess the characteristics of body composition and the parameters of anaerobic and aerobic work capacity in athletes having marked reduction in body fat mass.
Materials and methods. 40 male athletes were examined, their mean age was 19±1.12, their sports specialization was cyclic sports (kayaking, canoeing, running), qualification – candidates for master of sports, masters of sports. The body composition was studied by the method of bioimpedance analysis using an ABC-01 Medass bioimpedance analyzer. The determination of aerobic and anaerobic (creatine phosphate and glycolytic) work capacity was carried out using the D-test training process monitoring system.
Results. The anaerobic creatine phosphate wok capacity index in athletes with reduced body fat was significantly lower (p=0.026), and the muscle mass percentage and specific metabolism level were significantly higher (p=0.002 and p=0.015, respectively), in comparison with the group of athletes with normal body fat according to fitness standards.
Conclusion. Marked reduced body fat mass in male athletes doing cyclic sports is associated with decreased capacity of the anaerobic creatine phosphate energy system of muscles but does not cause a decrease in body`s skeletal muscle mass.
