Comparative analysis of changes in the body composition of female students under the influence of the various kinds of fitness training load

Abstract

This article covers the comprehensive research of body composition of female students in higher education institutes, in various kinds of fitness training. The hardware-software complex “Diamond AIST-IRGT” was used in the research work to show the model properties of the changes in bioelectrical impedance of student’s body composition after a year training in various kinds of fitness training, compared with students who attend mainly compulsory classes of physical training according to their academic curriculum. The research’s main aims were: to record the percentage of fat component and active cell mass in the body of students, the calculation of the mass index and the hydration level of their body, the phase angle, the characteristics of the basal metabolism and the specific basal metabolism. Contemporary research shows that the process of body metabolism is significantly influenced by weight-lifting fitness than that by aerobic fitness or yoga. It is found out, that the use of fitness technologies during training is more efficient, as compared with traditional training according to the basic academic curriculum. The results of the research showed that the dynamics of the component comp
