Abstract
Body composition, i.e. relative and absolute amount of body fat and fat free mass (FFM) is a significant physical sign, which is developed in consequence with age, physical maturation level and gender. The aim of this study was to assess physical profile in young cross-country skiers with the emphasis on assessment of basic anthropometric parameters, i.e. body weight, height, BMI and somatotype. The partial objective was to compare skinfold thickness (SKF) measurement and bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA) as methods for body composition determination, especially to compare predictive equations used to find the relative amount of body fat calculation. Altogether subjects were tested n = 34 aged 10 to 16 years, 21 of whom were boys and 13 of whom were girls. Comparison of selected predictive equations point to the significant differences between various methods. Verf.-Ref.
