identifying athlete body fluid changes during a competitive season with Bioelectrical Impedance vector analysis
International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance, 2020Co-Authors: Francesco Campa, Steven B. Heymsfield, Elisabetta Marini, Catarina N Matias, Stefania Toselli, Luis B Sardinha, Analiza M SilvaAbstract:PURPOSE: To analyze the association between body fluid changes evaluated by Bioelectrical Impedance vector analysis and dilution techniques over a competitive season in athletes. METHODS: A total of 58 athletes of both sexes (men: age 18.7 [4.0] y and women: age 19.2 [6.0] y) engaging in different sports were evaluated at the beginning (pre) and 6 months after (post) the competitive season. Deuterium dilution and bromide dilution were used as the criterion methods to assess total body water (TBW) and extracellular water (ECW), respectively; intracellular water (ICW) was calculated as TBW-ECW. Bioelectrical resistance and reactance were obtained with a phase-sensitive 50-kHz Bioelectrical Impedance analysis device; Bioelectrical Impedance vector analysis was applied. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was used to assess fat mass and fat-free mass. The athletes were empirically classified considering TBW change (pre-post, increase or decrease) according to sex. RESULTS: Significant mean vector displacements in the postgroups were observed in both sexes. Specifically, reductions in vector length (Z/H) were associated with increases in TBW and ICW (r = -.718, P < .01; r = -.630, P < .01, respectively) and decreases in ECW:ICW ratio (r = .344, P < .05), even after adjusting for age, height, and sex. Phase-angle variations were positively associated with TBW and ICW (r = .458, P < .01; r = .564, P < .01, respectively) and negatively associated with ECW:ICW (r = -.436, P < .01). Phase angle significantly increased in all the postgroups except in women in whom TBW decreased. CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that Bioelectrical Impedance vector analysis is a suitable method to obtain a qualitative indication of body fluid changes during a competitive season in athletes.

phase angle and Bioelectrical Impedance vector analysis in the evaluation of body composition in athletes
Clinical Nutrition, 2020Co-Authors: Elisabetta Marini, Roberto Buffa, Francesco Campa, Catarina N Matias, Stefania Toselli, Luis B Sardinha, Silvia Stagi, Analiza M SilvaAbstract:Summary Aims To analyze the association of classic and specific Bioelectrical Impedance vector analysis (BIVA) and phase angle with reference techniques for the assessment of body composition in athletes. Methods 202 athletes of both sexes (men: 21.5 ± 5.0; women: 20.7 ± 5.1) engaged in different sports were evaluated during the in-season period. Bioelectrical resistance (R, ohm) and reactance (Xc, ohm) were obtained with a phase-sensitive 50 kHz Bioelectrical Impedance analysis device. The classic and specific BIVA procedures, which respectively correct Bioelectrical values for body height (R/H and Xc/H, ohm/m) and body geometry (Rsp and Xcsp, ohm cm), were applied. Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry was used as the reference method to assess fat-mass (FM), fat-free mass (FFM) and %FM. Deuterium dilution and bromide dilution where used as the criterion method for total body water (TBW) and extracellular water (ECW), respectively. Intracellular water (ICW) was calculated as TBW minus ECW. Results Specific Bioelectrical values (Rsp, Xcsp, Zsp) were positively correlated with FM and %FM (%FM; Zsp men: r = 0.569, p Conclusions Specific BIVA turns out to be more accurate for the analysis of %FM in athletes, while it does not correctly evaluate TBW, for which classic BIVA appears to be a suitable approach. Phase angles, and hence both BIVA approaches, can detect ECW/ICW changes.

Bioelectrical Impedance vector analysis biva for the assessment of two compartment body composition
European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2014Co-Authors: Roberto Buffa, Elena Mereu, Ornella Comandini, Me Ibanez, Elisabetta MariniAbstract:This review is directed to define the efficacy of Bioelectrical Impedance vector analysis (BIVA) for assessing two-compartment body composition. A systematic literature review using MEDLINE database up to 12 February 2014 was performed. The list of papers citing the first description of BIVA, obtained from SCOPUS, and the reference lists of included studies were also searched. Selection criteria included studies comparing the results of BIVA with those of other techniques, and studies analyzing Bioelectrical vectors of obese, athletic, cachectic and lean individuals. Thirty articles met the inclusion criteria. The ability of classic BIVA for assessing two-compartment body composition has been mainly evaluated by means of indirect techniques, such as anthropometry and Bioelectrical Impedance analysis (BIA). Classic BIVA showed a high agreement with body mass index, that can be interpreted in relation to the greater body mass of obese and athletic individuals, whereas the comparison with BIA showed less consistent results, especially in diseased individuals. When a reference method was used, classic BIVA failed to accurately recognize FM% variations, whereas specific BIVA furnished good results. Specific BIVA is a promising alternative to classic BIVA for assessing two-compartment body composition, with potential application in nutritional, sport and geriatric medicine.

measurement of lean body mass using Bioelectrical Impedance analysis a consideration of the pros and cons
Aging Clinical and Experimental Research, 2017Co-Authors: Giuseppe Sergi, Brendon Stubbs, Nicola Veronese, Enzo ManzatoAbstract:The assessment of body composition has important applications in the evaluation of nutritional status and estimating potential health risks. Bioelectrical Impedance analysis (BIA) is a valid method for the assessment of body composition. BIA is an alternative to more invasive and expensive methods like dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, computerized tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. Bioelectrical Impedance analysis is an easy-to-use and low-cost method for the estimation of fat-free mass (FFM) in physiological and pathological conditions. The reliability of BIA measurements is influenced by various factors related to the instrument itself, including electrodes, operator, subject, and environment. BIA assumptions beyond its use for body composition are the human body is empirically composed of cylinders, FFM contains virtually all the water and conducting electrolytes in the body, and its hydration is constant. FFM can be predicted by BIA through equations developed using reference methods. Several BIA prediction equations exist for the estimation of FFM, skeletal muscle mass (SMM), or appendicular SMM. The BIA prediction models differ according to the characteristics of the sample in which they have been derived and validated in addition to the parameters included in the multiple regression analysis. In choosing BIA equations, it is important to consider the characteristics of the sample in which it has been developed and validated, since, for example, age- and ethnicity-related differences could sensitively affect BIA estimates.

assessing appendicular skeletal muscle mass with Bioelectrical Impedance analysis in free living caucasian older adults
Clinical Nutrition, 2015Co-Authors: Giuseppe Sergi, Nicola Veronese, Enzo Manzato, Alessandra Coin, Linda Berton, Marina De Rui, Francesco Bolzetta, S Carraro, Giulia BanoAbstract:Background & aims Aging is characterized by a loss of appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASMM) leading to physical disability and death. Bioelectrical Impedance analysis (BIA) is reliable in estimating ASMM but no prediction equations are available for elderly Caucasian subjects. The aim of the study was to develop and validate an equation derived from Bioelectrical Impedance analysis (BIA) to predict appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASMM) in healthy Caucasian elderly subjects, taking dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) as the reference method, and comparing the reliability of the new equation with another BIA-based model developed by Kyle et al. (Kyle UG, Genton L, Hans D, Pichard C, 2003). Methods With a cross-sectional design, 296 free-living, healthy Caucasian subjects (117 men, 179 women) over 60 years of age were enrolled. Lean mass of limbs was measured with DXA to ascertain ASMM (ASMMDxA). Whole-body tetrapolar BIA was performed to measure resistance (Rz), resistance normalized for stature (RI), and reactance (Xc). The BIA multiple regression equation for predicting ASMM was developed using a double cross-validation technique. The predicted ASMM values were compared with ASMMKyle, i.e. ASMM estimates derived from the model developed by Kyle et al. (Kyle et al., 2003). Results Cross-validation resulted in a unique equation using the whole sample: ASMM (kg) = −3.964 + (0.227*RI) + (0.095*weight) + (1.384*sex) + (0.064*Xc) [R2 = 0.92 and SEE = 1.14 kg]. In our sample, ASMMKyle differed significantly from the ASMMDxA (p < 0.0001), with a mean error of −0.97 ± 1.34 kg (5.1 ± 6.9%). Unlike the present BIA prediction equation, the Kyle et al. model showed a correlation between the bias and the mean of ASMMDxA and ASMMKyle (r = −0.406, p < 0.001). Conclusion The new BIA equation provides a valid estimate of ASMM in older Caucasian adults.

International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance, 2020Co-Authors: Francesco Campa, Steven B. Heymsfield, Elisabetta Marini, Catarina N Matias, Stefania Toselli, Luis B Sardinha, Analiza M SilvaAbstract:PURPOSE: To analyze the association between body fluid changes evaluated by Bioelectrical Impedance vector analysis and dilution techniques over a competitive season in athletes. METHODS: A total of 58 athletes of both sexes (men: age 18.7 [4.0] y and women: age 19.2 [6.0] y) engaging in different sports were evaluated at the beginning (pre) and 6 months after (post) the competitive season. Deuterium dilution and bromide dilution were used as the criterion methods to assess total body water (TBW) and extracellular water (ECW), respectively; intracellular water (ICW) was calculated as TBW-ECW.

Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was used to assess fat mass and fat-free mass. The athletes were empirically classified considering TBW change (pre-post, increase or decrease) according to sex. RESULTS: Significant mean vector displacements in the postgroups were observed in both sexes. Specifically, reductions in vector length (Z/H) were associated with increases in TBW and ICW (r = -.718, P < .01; r = -.630, P < .01, respectively) and decreases in ECW:ICW ratio (r = .344, P < .05), even after adjusting for age, height, and sex. Phase-angle variations were positively associated with TBW and ICW (r = .458, P < .01; r = .564, P < .01, respectively) and negatively associated with ECW:ICW (r = -.436, P < .01). Phase angle significantly increased in all the postgroups except in women in whom TBW decreased. CONCLUSIONS: The results suggest that Bioelectrical Impedance vector analysis is a suitable method to obtain a qualitative indication of body fluid changes during a competitive season in athletes.
