Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the body composition parameters and their relationship to functional parameters in recreational triathlonists. The group consisted of 16 men ranging in age from 29 – 47 years (mean age - 34,7 ± 5,4 years, height - 181,2 ± 4,7 cm, weight – 79,3 ± 5,6 kg, BMI – 24,4 ± 2,0 kg.m-2, body fat - 15,5 ± 3,6 %, FFM – 67,0 ± 3,9 kg, VO2 max - 57,4 ± 7,1 ml.kg-1.min-1, Vmax - 15,4 ± 1,3 km.h-1, HRmax - 184,1 ± 7,4 min-1). The investigation was focused on the analysis of body body compostion (BIA, In Body 3.0) and aerobic capacity (VO2 max, Vmax, SF max). We found a significant relationship of VO2 max and percent of body fat (r = - 0,78, p < 0,05), Vmax and percent of body fat (r = - 0,534, p < 0,05).
