MW efficacy in DSP

Abstract In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of single bout of volleyball on body composition in elite professional female players. Sixteen elite professional female players that play volleyball in a club in Turkish Premier League were enrolled in the study. Prior to one league match (pre-exercise) bioelectric impedance analyzes were performed using a bioelectric impedance analyzer. After the final period (3 rd set) of match was ended, bioelectric impedance analyzes were repeated (post-exercise). There were no significantly changes in body mass index, body cell mass, body capacitance, lean body mass, and basal metabolic rate at post-exercise time. Body resistance, reactance and fat mass were all significantly lower than pre-exercise time (p<0.01). On the other hand, extracellular mass increased at post-exercise time, and that significances were found to be p<0.05. As an intense aerobic exercise, single bout of volleyball (three sets) decreases body fat mass at post-exercise time. This change is associated with decreases in body resistance and reactance. Excess lost of body fat may be related to frequently using anaerobic process for energy requirement in volleyball players and prolonged exercise for competition
