In this work, estimates of changes in anthropometric parameters and body composition of candidates for the Russian national team in water polo during 3-week training in the midlands are obtained, the model characteristics of pre-competitive readiness of athletes are reported, and comparison with the general population reference data is given. Those players selected on the basis of a training camp according to the performance level had statistically significantly higher amount of muscle mass and somewhat larger anthropometric dimensions. Significant differences in body composition estimates using various predictive formulas based on anthropometry and bioimpedance were observed. However, these formulas showed consistent changes in body composition during training, thus indicating their suitability for monitoring of body composition and state of trainingin water polo players.
