| dc.description.abstract | Body composition has been reported to be correlated to anaerobic power. In assessing body composition, body fat percentage is the most common value measured, however phase angle, a marker of cellular health using bioelectrical impedance (BIA), has shown promise as a method of determining anaerobic power for comparison. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relation between phase angle measurements and an individual's ability to produce upper and lower extremity power, used as a measure of performance. The preliminary data required 9 volunteer participants to follow pretest guidelines and attend 3 sessions including informed consent, BIA, and body composition analysis (visit 1). The purpose of this visit was to collect phase angle (PhA), and body composition data. A randomized upper and lower body 30 second Wingate test was then completed (visit 2-3). Upper and lower body peak power (PP) and fatigue index (FI%) were collected. Descriptive statistics included mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum were performed for all outcome measurements. Pearson’s correlation was conducted to determine strength of correlation between variables. PhA shows a stronger correlation to upper body PP than body fat percentage, r (7)=0.56; r(7)=0.27. PhA shows a weaker correlation to lower body PP than body fat percentage, r (7)=0.32; r(7)=0.66. For upper body FI%, a stronger negative correlation exists with PhA compared to body fat percentages r(7)=-0.54; r(7)=0.00. In lower body FI%, a stronger negative correlation exits with PhA compared to body fat percentages r(7)=-0.44; r(7)= -0.12. Current collected evidence suggests PhA as a valuable marker of predicting PP in upper body and overall FI% of recreational active females. However, body fat percentages was better correlated to lower body PP. | |
