“…In the current study, WBB athletes showed a decrease in FFM following the in-season period, while no changes were observed in BF%, FM, or BM. These results are in contrast with previously reported findings, where WBB athletes ( n = 38) displayed decreases in BF% from the pre- to post-season, ranging from −0.8% to −1.4% [ 1 , 9 , 10 ], and increases in FFM and BM in elite junior WBB players ( n = 9) [ 15 ]. The reduction in FFM observed in the current study is of concern, as previous literature has shown a correlation between FFM and bone mineral density [ 17 ], strength [ 18 , 19 ], speed [ 20 ], and power [ 18 , 21 ].…”

“…Both studies had limited sample sizes and used skinfolds to predict BF% [ 7 , 8 ]. While also limited, seasonal BC reports in WBB have shown a reduction in BF% from pre- to post-season [ 1 , 9 , 10 ]. These limited results warrant the need for further research relative to basketball athletes regarding seasonal BC change.…”

“…Various results have been reported in the literature in regards to the effects of physical training on body composition. A number of researchers have not reported significant changes in body composition (3,18,19), whereas several others have demonstrated a decrease in body fat and an increase in LBM in female swimmers with training (4,22,23,34,39). Parizkova (28) reported that regular training generally results in a decrease in body fat and an increase in LBM, quite often without a change in total body mass.…”

“…Overall, athletes signifi cantly decreased adiposity, maintained ICW and increased LST, TBW, ECW, maximal leg strength and jumping height. Studies using hydrostatic weighing have shown that basketball players lost FM and gained signifi cant amounts of FFM [ 19 ] while others observed no changes [ 9 ] or even a signifi cant FFM reduction in volleyball players [ 9 ] . Using anthropometric indicators (skinfolds), FM decreased and FFM increased over the season in basketball players [ 12 ] and male handball players [ 3 ] .…”
