Applicability of a segmental bioelectrical impedance analysis for predicting the whole body skeletal muscle volume
NI Tanaka, M Miyatani, Y Masuo… - Journal of Applied …, 2007 - physiology.org
This study aimed to test the hypothesis that a segmental bioelectrical impedance (BI)
analysis can predict whole body skeletal muscle (SM) volume more accurately than a whole
body BI analysis. Thirty males (19–34 yr) participated in this study. They were divided into
validation (n= 20) and cross-validation groups (n= 10). The BI values were obtained using
two methods: whole body BI analysis, which determines impedance between the wrist and
ankle; and segmental BI analysis, which determines the impedance of every body segment …
