ASSESSMENT USING BIOIMPEDANCE ANALYSIS OF THE COMPONENT COMPOSITION OF THE BODY OF FEMALE STUDENTS 18–20 YEARS OLD INVOLVED IN TRX FITNESS

Currently, there is an insufficient number of studies on the assessment of morphofunctional state of girls in TRX-training. In this regard, the aim of the study was to investigate the body composition using anthropometric and bioimpedance analyses of female students 18–20 years old engaged in TRX-fitness. In this study, 40 female students 18–20 years old of the South Ural State University in Chelyabinsk participated. A Tanita analyser was used to measure body composition. Body length was measured using an electronic stadiometer RAP (RS-232). Based on the obtained data, the Verveck Index and Waist/Hip Index were calculated. As a result of the conducted researches the reduced parameters of body weight, weight and percentage of fat tissue in the body, body mass index in female students of the experimental group at the end of the study were revealed, which indicated the optimal motor activity of girls and the positive influence of TRX-fitness classes. The parameters of the total body water in the body were within the reference range, the values of the basal metabolic rate of female students 18–20 years old, engaged in the proposed program of functional training, tended to decrease, indicating an optimal electrolyte balance. According to the results of Verveck Index, the girls had a tendency to brachymorphic type of body build. The Waist/Hip Index revealed a gynoid type of body build in the girls, which indicated a normal distribution of body fat mass.
