The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of hydration status on the prediction of body composition using BIA, NIR, and DEXA. Twenty healthy males and females ages 18 to 28 were recruited for this study. The subjects were dehydrated in the climate control chamber and engaged in physical exercise, until they lost approximately 1%, 2%, and 3% of their pre-exercise body weight. Percent body fat (%BF), body weight, and urinalysis measures were taken initially on day 1, on day 4 at euhydration, following 1%, 2%, and 3% dehydration, and upon rehydration during day 5. The results indicated that there were significant decreases for %BFBIA and %BFNIR between euhydration and 1%, 2%, and 3% dehydration. %BFDExA did not significantly change.There were also significant differences in the response to dehydration between each technique. Proper hydration should be ensured before %BF is estimated with BIA and NIR. / School of Physical Education
