BIOIMPEDANCE ANALYSIS FOR ASSESSING BODY COMPOSITION IN ADOLESCENT GIRLS AND WOMEN

Abstract

Aim. To conduct a comprehensive analysis of body composition among girls and women. Materials and methods. The study combines a comprehensive review of scientific literature and a questionnaire survey of female participants. The primary material under examination is body composition measurements analyzed through the application of the abc01-0362 program for bioimpedance analysis. This methodology, facilitated by the ABC-01 MEDASS (STC “MEDASS”, Russia) device, enables the measurement of the body's electrical potential, offering insights into the fat-to-muscle ratio. Results. The results obtained from this study highlight the dynamic nature of the fat-to-muscle ratio across different age groups, serving as a pivotal indicator for obesity management and overall health assessment in women. Additionally, the study explores the indirect implications of body mass composition components on motor activity levels. Further, it establishes correlations between the fat-to-muscle ratio and strategies employed in training effect planning, alongside the distribution of training intensities. By considering the functional state of the female body in the context of body composition, the study contributes to the development of systems aimed at optimizing muscular function and overall physical conditioning. Conclusion. Conclusively, the analysis of body composition emerges as a crucial tool for women to not only evaluate their physical characteristics but also to engage in proactive measures towards improvement and disease prevention. The findings of this study have been instrumental in the formulation of customized physical correction programs, applicable to both athletes and those not involved in sports. These programs are designed to address and modify the phy­sical attributes of girls and women, fostering a healthier and more active lifestyle.
