Impacts Of Menstrual Cycle Phase On Measures Of Body Composition, Kristina M. Woodford, Abigail R. Champion, Lauren E. Coleman, Heather Webb
International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings
Fluctuations in body weight and water retention are common complaints made by many women as a result of hormonal changes that accompany menstrual cycle (MC). Specific research regarding how the different phases of the menstrual cycle may impact body composition measures have been limited, and typically are examined as a subset of other variables. As lean body tissue is approximately 73% water, fluctuations in body water due to changes in a women’s MC may influence measurements of body composition. PURPOSE: To investigate whether phases of the MC have an impact on common measures of body composition. METHODS: A total of …

Body composition is an integral component of physiology and pathology, as well as an indication of how the musculoskeletal system changes over time in response to training and/or nutritional modifications. Two common methods of estimating body composition include bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). There is a debate regarding the agreement between these two methods, and it is thought that the population being tested may influence the similarity of estimates obtained by these technologies. Limited data comparing these two methodologies in athletic populations are available. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to take examine the agreement …

Body composition assessment devices are commonly employed to track changes associated with exercise or nutritional interventions. However, many individuals undergo body composition assessments with little to no pre-testing standardization of dietary intake or physical activity, potentially introducing error into their results. PURPOSE: To examine the validity of unstandardized body composition assessments relative to standardized assessments using three common body composition assessment devices. METHODS: Twenty-three resistance-trained males (Mean ± SD; 21.6 ± 2.6 years; 71.3 ± 6.8 kg; 177.4 ± 5.9 cm; 17.4 ± 4.1% DXA-derived percent body fat [%BF]) underwent paired body composition assessments via dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry …
