Body composition of elite youth pentathletes and its gender differences

Original language description

Analysis of body composition is currently an essential method for detection of indicators determining sporting performance. Especially in the modern pentathlon as it consists of disciplines with different types of physical load. The aim of the study wasto describe the current profile of elite youth modern pentathletes' body composition and its gender differences. The research group consisted of modern pentathletes (n = 12, male: n = 7, age 19.6 +- 1.05 years, female: n = 5, age 17.4 +- 0.85 years), members of the Czech national team. Body composition parameters were recorded using bioimpedance method, namely BIA 2000M device, and segmental distribution of muscle mass was detected using Tanita MC-980MA device. Statistically significant gender differences and significant effect size were found in total body water (p = 0.004; d = 0.99), percentage proportion of fat mass (p = 0.001; d = 1.02) and in the value of basal metabolism (p = 0.004; d = 1.08). However, in some parameters, we found
