CONSTITUTION AND BODY COMPOSITION OF 17-18 YEAR OLD GIRLS UNDER ANTHROPOMETRY AND IMPEDANCE-COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY
The paper surveys body composition of 17-18 aged girls with the help of bioelectrical impedance analysis using ABC-01 set produced by Medass, define its main morphometric characteristics, and examine the correlation between the body composition and the physical fitness. The results of bioelectrical impedance analysis enabled to define four groups of girls according to body fat percentage: 1 - fitness-standard, 2 - norm, 3 - overweight, 4 - obesity. The girls of the groups under analysis have hypoid type of constitution. According to their body mass index (BMI) all girls have normal body weight. The girls from the groups 1 and 4 showed the differences in specific metabolism. However, the groups under analysis do not differ in electrophysiological characteristics of cell performance defined by phase angle, ohmic resistance and impedance. No differences in the body composition of the female students of all groups under analysis have been stated, with the only exception of body fat parameter that is much higher for the representatives of group 4. Motive load on general stamina (30-minute and 2000-metre jogging) depending on aerobic energy delivery performance showed a low level of physical fitness by the girls from the group 4 - obesity.
