Bioimpedance data monitoring in physical preparation: A real interest for performance of elite skiers for Winter Olympic Games 2010

The aim of this study is to investigate whether multi-frequency bioimpedance analysis, which is non-invasive, quick and mobile, may be able to optimize training, nutrition and hydration for 9 elite skiers in view to Winter Olympic Games 2010. The principal results of this study is that BIA method may be used in sportive routine on elite skiers in order to estimate Fat Mass, Muscle Mass, Hydration state, Fatigue state and their variations. BIA showed a real interest, for technical and medical staff, because it permitted to optimize and orientate physical training, nutrition and hydration.
