Abstract

This special report aims to highlight the role and practice of Body
Composition Analysis in sports rehabilitation to enhance athletic performance by studying its various aspects such as fat mass, lean mass, and water content in the body.

This report identified Inbody 770 as the ideal gadget for Body Composition Analysis. Fat mass analysis revealed that Body Mass Index is not an appropriate tool to determine the levels of obesity as it does not differentiate between fat mass and muscle mass, rather categorises a healthy muscular individual as obese. Furthermore, Body Composition Analysis enables to investigate the proportions of muscle mass and fat mass in a specific region as well as perform comparison analysis to identify the region of weakness and potential risk of injury. Water analysis helps to identify the cause of edema and proportions of intracellular and extracellular fluids
