Comparative study on the importance of physical activity on body composition in adults

Abstract

Abstract: Introduction. In the last decade, we are witnessing a transformation in the dynamics of the development of human morpho-functional structures, influenced by the socio-economic system. Among the harmful factors of contemporary civilization we list the lack of physical exercise as well as the inadequate diet. We start from the premise that by practicing constant physical activities we can demonstrate the influence of the morphological status of the adults under study. The aim of this work is to analyse some body composition parameters of adults who are moderately physically active. Results. The objectives of the study are: to identify how subjects practice physical activity, to raise awareness of the importance of the effects of physical exercise on health, to analyse and interpret the data recorded on body composition parameters using the Tanita apparatus. Conclusions: The practice of constant activities on adults leads to beneficial morpho-functional changes in the body, giving it a capacity to adapt to effort and increased resistance to pathogenic factors. Keywords: adult, physical activities, morphological status, body composition structure, health.
