Abstract

This study measured body composition and muscular strength, to examine their relationship, using the Bioelectrical Impedance (IB) method and biodex system3, respectively, in 44 healthy male(20) and female(24) university students. 1. Muscular strength of the upper extremities correlated significantly with fat-free mass(FFM) with and intracellular fluid(ICF) with in males and FFM with , ICF with and extracellular fluid(ECF) with in females. 2. Muscular strength of the lower extremities correlated significantly with FFM with , ICF with and ECF with in males and FFM with , ICF with and ECF with in females. 3. Muscular strength of the trunk correlated with FFM with , ICF with , ECF with in males, but did not correlate significantly with body composition in females. These results suggest that total body water(TBW) and ICF may be factors directly associated with muscular strength as well as physical fitness.
