THE RELATIONSHIP OF BODY COMPONENTS WITH BASAL METABOLISM BY QUALIFIED BIATHLONISTS

Monitoring the body composition of athletes allows assessing the health and level of functional and physical training of athletes, which is informative for the management of the training process. An important step in this direction is the development of new methods for the diagnosis of body composition, which have become more accurate and reliable today. Currently, there are a number of methods to evaluate the component composition of the athlete’s body. However, with all the variety of existing methods of body composition research, each of them has several advantages and disadvantages for use in sports practice.

The conducted researches have allowed establishing the features of the component composition of body weight and basal metabolism of qualified biathletes by the method of bioimpedance analysis. The results of the correlation and regression analysis of the experimental studies revealed a close relationship between the indicators, the nature and direction of the level of basal metabolism from the absolute and relative body components of qualified biathletes.

Article’s purpose. To determine the relationship between the components of the body composition and basal metabolism in qualified biathletes.

Methodology. The research methodology is aimed at substantiating the results of empirical study of body components, basal metabolism and their interrelation as a basic prerequisite for functional preparedness, individualization of the training process of qualified biathletes.

Scientific novelty. The scientific novelty is to determine the absolute and relative components of the body of qualified biathletes, the nature and close relationship of these with basal metabolism.

Conclusion. The balance of tissue components of the body of athletes is directly related to the manifestations of various physical qualities and the development of functional systems of the body, which directly affects the performance of athletes, biathletes.
