Body composition and basal metabolism value as reliable adaptation indices of the organism of football players to physical loads

Abstract

and 9.2 ± 1.3 %. The body fat proportion is a reliable (p < 0.05) correlation with the values of the adaptation potential of the circulatory system, the blood pressure, the general hemodynamic parameter, the index of the physical state, the height of the jump. The basal metabolism value in youth athletes is equal to 1804-1892 kcal/day - 1.166-1.185 kcal/kg h, while junior athletes - 2068 ± 60 kcal/day, 1.12 ± 0.01 kcal/kg h. The average basal metabolism value of young athletes is significantly (p < 0.05) correlated with muscle strength hands, the vital lung capacity, the blood pressure, the adaptive capacity of the circulatory system, the general hemodynamic parameter, the body fat proportion. The values of basal metabolism and body fat in athletes during a two-week training camp vary 0.9 and 1.1 %, respectively, which indicates that the average daily food ration is adequate to the physiological requirements of the body, and the physical activity intensity is adequate to the functional state of athletes.
