The study analyzes benefits of the bioimpedance body composition tests for the 13-14 year-old golfers` of both sexes under the physical education curricula. Body composition was tested by Tanita BC-418 MA Body Composition Analyzer designed based on the innovative technology of measurement of impedance (electrical resistance) of the body. Physical development of the sample was estimated by the body/ limb fat mass indices and total water level, with the study data processed by a standard statistical toolkit. The study data and analyses showed a significant gender-unspecific inverse correlation between the fat mass and muscular mass over the annual training cycle - that may be interpreted as indicative of the golf trainings being beneficial for the body composition. The study data demonstrate benefits of the bioimpedance body composition tests in golfers` annual training cycle as they make it possible to estimate the athletes` health condition and physical fitness which is very helpful for the training process design and management purposes.
