Energy balance
Multifrequency bioelectrical impedance analysis (MF-BIA) is an acceptable alternative for tracking changes in fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM) during a combined diet and exercise program in young, athletic men.
Practitioners can use MF-BIA for monitoring body composition changes in similar populations.

More from this paper
- Mean changes in percent body fat ([INCREMENT]%BF), fat mass ([INCREMENT]FM), and fat-free mass ([INCREMENT]FFM) were not significantly different when comparing MF-BIA with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA).Strong
- The two methods (MF-BIA and DXA) were poor predictors of each other in regards to changes in segmental measurements.Strong
