Authors present a high proportion of fat free mass and a low proportion of fat mass examined by hydrodensitometry in elite judo athletes. The difference in both indicators of body composition between both examined groups was significant (p{0.05); however, we may see a better predisposition to sport performance in seniors when compared to juniors.
The examination of body composition is important in terms of a sport performance predictor, as well as for monitoring changes while weight reduction. The form of reduction and individual limits of body weight remain the matter of further research.
The used method, hydrodensitometry, appears as a very exact method when disturbing factors /participants' learning phase, expiration, scales oscillation/ are eliminated. The measured low proportion of fat mass indicate a discussion about equations for calculation of total fat mass in the body and their modification and assessment of particular parameters/ indicators.
