Resumo
Futsal is a FIFA's official indoor game which is, essentially, a five-a[1]side version of football (soccer). When aiming to assess body composition in the field, bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is considered a valid alternative, to more expensive research methods like Dual X-Ray Absorptiometry (DXA). In sports, fat free mass (FFM) is one of the most important parameters, since it is related with both injury prevention and performance (mass/power ratio).
