Stav antropometrických parametrů a tělesného složení u studentů Vojenského oboru UK FTVS v Praze
Status anthropometric parameters and body composition of students of the Military Department at UK FTVS in Prague

Summary/Abstract: The aim of our study was the measurement of selected anthropometric variables, respectively determining somatotype, body composition analysis of students Military Department (MD) at UK FTVS in Prague and compared to similar studies. The group consisted of 22 probands, men ranging in age from 19–27 years (mean age = 22,9 ± 2,6 years, height = 179,9 ± 6,0 cm, weight = 76,8 ± 7,0 kg, BMI = 23,8 ± 1,5 kg.m–2). In terms of measured average somatotype (1,7 – 7,3 – 2,5), the students MD have very good preconditions for general physical fitness. We used BIA-Tanita MC 980 for the body composition analysis (whole body and segmental analysis). The students MD showed a high proportion of lean body mass (70,5 ± 6,1 kg) and low proportion of fat mass (8,3 ± 3,0 %). The authors emphasize the importance of monitoring and other parameters of body composition, e.g. total body water (TBW), extracellular water (ECW), intracellular water (ICW), segmental analysis of muscle mass and body fat.
