Bod pod model 2000a

Upon arrival to the laboratory, height and body mass were recorded to the nearest 0.01 cm and 0.02 kg, respectively, using a stadiometer (Detecto, Webb City, MO, USA) and digital scale (BOD POD model 2000A; BOD POD; Cosmed USA, Concord, CA, USA), with each subject barefoot. Body composition variables (i.e., percent body fat, fat-free mass, and fat mass) were assessed using air displacement plethysmography (BOD POD model 2000A; BOD POD; Cosmed USA, Concord, CA, USA) according to standard operating procedures. The thoracic gas volume was estimated.

Body composition variables (i.e., %BF, fat-free mass, fat mass and body density) were assessed using air displacement plethysmography (BOD POD model 2000A; BOD POD; Cosmed USA, Concord, CA) according to standard operating procedures. Athletes were instructed to wear spandex or form-fitting clothing and wore a lycra swim cap. All jewelry was removed prior to testing. Thoracic gas volume was predicted using manufacture settings. Previous test-to-test reliability results for the use of ADP assessment in athletes has yielded high reliability for BM (r = 0.999), body fat percent (r = 0.994), and FFM (r = 0.998) in our laboratory.
