Tracking changes in body composition: comparison of methods and influence of pre-assessment standardisation

Grant M. Tinsley et al.

Summary: In this study, various assessment methods for tracking changes in body composition were evaluated, revealing potential errors when assessments were not standardized. The findings suggest that DXA and select digital anthropometry techniques are more reliable in standardized conditions, but there are still differences in the ability of common methods to accurately track longitudinal body composition changes.

Acute feeding has minimal effect on the validity of body composition and metabolic measures: dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and a multi-compartment model

Abbie E. Smith-Ryan et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of acute feeding on body composition and metabolic measures. The results showed that acute feeding led to an increase in body fat percentage, while fat mass and lean mass remained relatively stable, impacting metabolic outcomes.

New Frontiers of Body Composition in Sport

Henry Lukaski et al.

Summary: Studying the body composition of athletes is crucial for improving their health and performance. Research focuses on the relationships between body composition measurements, muscle function, risk identification, injury recovery, and the need to minimize measurement errors and standardize protocols.

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.
