Fat-free Mass Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis Predictive Equation for Athletes using a 4-Compartment Model

Catarina N. Matias et al.

Summary: A new bioimpedance-based equation was developed for fat-free mass prediction in elite adult athletes, showing high concordance and reliability. The model, based on a four-compartment model, demonstrated an R(2) value of 0.94 with 10% variability and no trend, providing practical means for quantifying fat-free mass in athletes.

Specific Bioelectrical Impedance Vector Analysis Identifies Body Fat Reduction after a Lifestyle Intervention in Former Elite Athletes

Francesco Campa et al.

Summary: Specific bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA) can be used as a practical solution for assessing body composition in overweight/obese athletes, with reductions in bioelectrical vector length associated with reductions in percentage of fat mass.

Segmental body composition estimated by specific BIVA and dual- energy X-ray absorptiometry

Silvia Stagi et al.

Summary: The study aimed to analyze the association between specific bioelectric impedance vector analysis (BIVA) and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) to assess segmental body composition, using DXA as the reference technique. Results showed a good agreement between DXA and BIVA, with specific BIVA demonstrating to balance the effect of body size on bioelectrical measurements in both whole and segmental approaches. Specific BIVA represents a promising technique for monitoring segmental body composition changes in sport science and clinical applications.

Agreement of bioelectrical resistance, reactance, and phase angle values from supine and standing bioimpedance analyzers

Jacob R. Dellinger et al.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the agreement of raw bioelectrical variables obtained from three bioimpedance analyzers. Significant differences were observed between the devices when analyzing the total sample and males, while better agreement was found when analyzing females. Resistance and phase angle were found to be equivalent between the supine devices (BIS, SFBIA), but not with the standing analyzer (MFBIA).

Longitudinal agreement of four bioimpedance analyzers for detecting changes in raw bioimpedance during purposeful weight gain with resistance training

Matthew T. Stratton et al.

Summary: The study suggests that different bioimpedance analyzers have absolute differences in detecting bioelectrical changes, which should not be used interchangeably, especially when reference values are utilized. Despite absolute differences, analyzers with varying characteristics demonstrated similar abilities to detect changes in R, Xc, and phi over time.

Comparative analysis of BIA, IBC and DXA for determining body fat in American Football players

Majid M. Syed-Abdul et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the accuracy of Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) and Integrative Body Composition (IBC) techniques in measuring body fat percentage in collegiate American Football players compared to Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA). The results showed that both BIA and IBC can be used as alternatives to DXA, but they tended to under predict body fat percentage. Therefore, a correction formula may be necessary to improve the accuracy of predictions.

Validity of water compartments estimated using bioimpedance spectroscopy in athletes differing in hydration status

Ruben Francisco et al.

Summary: This study validated the use of bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy (BIS) compared to tracer dilution methods for assessing water compartments in athletes with varying hydration status. Results showed that BIS is useful at a group level but limited at an individual level, especially in dehydrated athletes.

Generalized bioelectric impedance-based equations underestimate body fluids in athletes

Giuseppe Coratella et al.

Summary: The study aimed to validate the predictive equations for total body water and extracellular water in male and female athletes, finding that athlete-specific equations were more accurate than generalized equations. Most of the generalized predictive equations underestimated body fluid volumes, while the athlete-specific equations were more accurate.
