Prediction of Skeletal Muscle Mass using Anthropometric Measurements in Athletes

Introduction: The primary aim of the study was to estimate the skeletal muscle mass in athletes through the utilization of anthropometric measurements. Methods: The study was conducted on 100 male athletes. Bioelectrical Impedance Analyser was used to measure Height, Weight, Fat%, Fat-Free mass (FFM), and Skeletal muscle mass. Result: Statistical analysis revealed a significant correlation (p ≤ 0.05) between Muscle mass, height, weight, Fat% and Fat-Free Mass (FFM). Conclusion: The study revealed the importance of anthropometric measurements and skeletal muscle mass among athletes for better performance.
