“…Body composition refers to a group of indicators pertaining to a range of health parameters, obesity, and the percentage of body fat, water and muscle in body composition, namely those features which, mostly in the form of health parameters, characterize an athlete (Bjоrntorp, 1990;Karaba-Jakovljević, 2016).…”

Goalball is one of the most popular ball sports for people with visual disability. Like other sports, goalball offers the benefit of developing one's physical abilities as well as affecting overall development; however, due to its specific characteristics, it can also have undesirable side effects. In view of this fact, the objective of this study was to determine the relationship between the parameters of body composition and postural status in goalball players. The study participants included 38 male goalball players with the mean age of 27.89 ± 8.4 competing at the international and national levels of goalball representation Group C. The measuring tool TANITA TBW 300 was used to assess body composition parameters, whereas the Spinal Mouse instrument was used for the assessment of postural status parameters among the goalball players. In order to assess the correlation between the two sets of variables (body composition and postural status), correlational analysis between two sets of variables was used. The obtained results reveal a correlation at the level of significance p=0.05 between the angle of the scoliotic curvature in the thoracic area of the spinal column on the one hand, and body mass index on the other, whereas the correlation of body fat percentage and the mass was at the level of p=0.01. No statistically significant correlation was found between the remaining variables. The results obtained indicate increased incidence of deformity both in the sagittal and in the frontal planes of the spinal column; furthermore, the testing of body composition parameters pertaining to fat returned very high results in this group of goalball players.

The goal of this study was to define the population parameters of the body fat percentage of residents of the Republic of Serbia. The sample was a total of 8145 respondents, of which 3051 (37.5%) were women with an average age of 32.0 ± 9.8 years, and the rest of 5094 (62.5%) were men with an average age of 32.9 ± 11.3 years. The average value of PBF for the women subsample was 28.46 ± 9.19% and 18.00 ± 7.98% for the men subsample. The results of factorial variance analysis have shown that there is a statistically significant difference (p<0.001) of PBF values regarding sex (F=1243.719) and respondent's age (F=508.469) as well as the interaction of factors "age" and "sex" (F=22.593). The regression analysis has shown that age explains 82.09% of variance regarding the age function for women and 85.08% of variance regarding the age function for men, taking into consideration that the function that best describes the variance PBF for women is linear and polynomial for men. Both sex and age are determined as factors that influence over-increasing the values of PBF, while the most critical groups where PBF crosses critical values are the groups of women over 50 years of age (the average prevalence of overweight and obese is 37.81% and 23.89% respectively) and men over 60 years of age (the average prevalence of overweight and obese is 25.48% and 38.36% respectively).
