Status anthropometric parameters and body composition of students of the Military Department at UK FTVS in Prague
Abstract
The aim of our study was the measurement of selected anthropometric variables, respectively determining somatotype, body composition analysis of students Military Department (MD) at UK FTVS in Prague and compared to similar studies. The group consisted of 22 probands, men ranging in age from 19 - 27 years.
We are measured the antropomethric parameters for somatotype (Heath and carter, 1967), we used BIA - Tanita MC 980 (whole body and segmental analysis) for the body composition analysis. In terms of measured average somatotype (1,7 - 7,3 - 2,5), the students MD have very good preconditions for general physical fitness.
The students MD showed a high proportion of lean body mass (70,5 +- 6,1 kg) and low proportion of fat mass (8,3 +- 3,0 %).Long-term and regular monitoring of changes in body composition, the monitoring of relationship between parameters of body composition and the results in various parameters of the stress test provides important information about the positive and negative impact of lifestyle on the body of the individual.
