A comparison of methods for the estimation of body composition in highly trained wheelchair games players

The purpose of this study was to assess the agreement in body composition measurements of wheelchair athletes using skinfolds, bioimpedance analysis (BIA) and air displacement plethysmography (ADP) with the criterion method of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). A secondary objective was to deve...
