Structural indicators of fat mass components in academy of Criminalistic and Police Studies female students

The increase in body mass at the expense of fat mass can lead to impaired health, professional-working and morphological status. The aim of this study was to define the descriptive indicators in measured morphological components and the establishment of standards for the initial values of their assessment. The sample of examinees included 144 female students of the Academy of Criminalistic and Police Studies (ACPS): Age - 19.7 ± 1.1 years; BH - 169.3 ± 5.3 cm, BM - 61.3 ± -6.9 kg, BMI - 21.2 ± 2 kg/m2. The measurements were performed at the Faculty of Sport and Physical Education, University of Belgrade, by standardized procedures with multichannel bioelectrical body composition analyzer 'InBody 720'. Variables for classification were: Body Weight (BW, kg), Body Height (TV, cm), Body Mass Index (BMI, kg/m2), Body Fat Mass (BFM, kg), Percent of Body Fat (PBF, %), Visceral Fat Area (VFA, cm2), Fat Control (FC, kg), Trunk Fat (TF, kg) and Trunk Fat Index (TF_BFM, %). Classes are defined by the characteristic seven subclasses: very poor, insufficient, below average, average, over, overly and unacceptable, in accordance with the sport metrology procedures. The results were statistically analyzed using descriptive statistics. Based on the obtained results, the examinees were distributed in the respective clusters. It was found that ACPS students have a distribution of results indicator of body fat shifted toward lower values , but it can be concluded that in general level the examinees belong to a population with normal values in relation to the criteria of the World Health Organization.
