Body Composition and Physical Health in Sports Practice: An Editorial

The objective of the present study is to determine the reliability of the measurements in the parameters of body composition of the Smart Performance measurement device and to compare the results with those produced by the InBody 270 device. Ten professional-level male athletes (mean weight = 58.4 kg ; height = 165.4 cm; BMI = 26.9 kg/m2) were analysed. An experimental design of a single cohort was carried out. Participants were tested on two 5-point bioimpedance devices: In-Body 270 (Biospace, Seoul, Korea) and Smart Performance. Measurements were made in the after-noon (6:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.). The variables used were weight (kg), fat mass (kg), muscle mass (kg), body water (L), BMI (kg/m2), protein and minerals. the Smart Performance Composition device presents a high degree of reliability for the analysis of body composition and its use at a recreation-al, sports and scientific level.

“…Seorang atlet terutama yang berada pada masa persiapan untuk mengikuti perlombaan harus memperhatikan tingkat asupan makananya, dimana hal tersebut akan mempengaruhi keadaan komposisi tubuhnya. Penilaian status kesehatan atlet terutama analisis komposisi tubuh telah menjadi bagin mendasar dan essensial dalam optimalisasi performa olahraga (Toselli, 2021).…”

Atlet adalah pengolahraga yang mengikuti pelatihan secara teratur dan kejuaraan dengan penuh dedikasi untuk mencapai prestasi, yang harus memperhatikan komposisi tubuh dan asupan makanan, terutama sarapan pagi yang dibutuhkan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan energi saat latihan di pagi hari. Sehingga dapat memiliki kebugaran fisik yang baik pada saat latihan. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui hubungan komposisi tubuh dan asupan energi sarapan dengan kebugaran fisik atlet cabor atleltik Pelatda PON Sumatera Utara. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan desain cross-sectional, sampel diambil dengan teknik purposive sampling yaitu sebanyak 34 orang. Teknik penumpulan data dilakukan dengan wawancara (food recall) selama 3 hari, pengukuran komposisi tubuh dengan Bioeletrical Impedence Analysis (BIA), dan tes kebugaran fisik (bleep test). Analisis bivariate dilakukan pada hasil penelitian dengan menggunakan uji Pearson Product Moment dan Spearman-rank. Hasil penelitian menunjukan terdapat hubungan antaralemak visceral (r=-0,573 & p=0,000) dan rasio otot kerangka (r=0,513 & p=0,002) dengan kebugaran fisik. Sedangkan untuk hubungan asupan energi sarapan dengan kebugaran fisik tidak terdapat hubungan yang signifikan dengan r=0,051 & p=0,774.

“…Prior studies found significant differences between men and women in motivation and exercise participation [25][26][27], as men and women have different physiological body compositions [28], possibly related to the close relationship between body composition and exercise performance [29]. In addition, there is a considerable difference between men and women in terms of muscle and fat composition [30].…”

As the number of people infected with COVID-19 in Korea is increasing, several measures have been implemented to gradually restrict outdoor activities and indoor gatherings while promoting a non-face-to-face social culture. In this study, we performed a gender-based multi-group analysis using a technology acceptance model (TAM) as an external variable for COVID-19 risk perception to verify the model’s predictive ability to increase participation behavior toward digital fitness services. We analyzed the data of 433 Koreans using an online survey consisting of 23 items. A structural equation model was used to verify the perceived ease of use (PEOU), perceived usefulness (PU), intention to use and exercise participation behavior of the TAM with COVID-19 risk perception as an external variable. First, our results showed that COVID-19 risk perception had a statistically higher significant and positive effect on PEOU (β = 0.170, t = 3.296, p < 0.001) than on PU (β = 0.130, t = 2.848, p = 0.004) of digital fitness services. Second, the PEOU of the digital fitness service was found to have a statistically higher significant positive effect on PU (β = 0.512, t = 9.728, p < 0.001) than on intention to use (β = 0.130, t = −2.774, p = 0.006). Third, the PU of digital fitness services was found to have a statistically significant positive effect on the intention to use (β = 0.684, t = 12.909, p < 0.001). Fourth, the intention to use the digital fitness service was found to have a statistically significant positive effect on exercise participation behavior (β = 0.796, t = 16.248, p < 0.001). Lastly, we observed a significant difference between men and women in COVID-19 risk perception and PEOU among the six paths established. Digital environments that encourage participation in exercises could promote health during a pandemic. This study highlighted the need to consider digital environments that encourage exercise participation in creating physical exercise contents as there was no significant difference in the intention to use digital fitness services between men and women.
