The aim of this study was to determine the most effective anthropometric equations or BIA devices for quantifying the sensitivity to change in fat free mass (FFM) in elite young soccer players, in comparison with measurement using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), between pre-season and mid-season. A total of 40 elite youth soccer players participated in this study. DXA values provided a criterion measure of FFM. Correlation coefficients, biases, limits of agreement, and differences were used as measures of sensitivity to change. All …
