Bioelectrical Impedance Vector Analysis (BIVA) and Somatotype in Female Rugby Players
Body composition (BC) determines strength, power, and agility in sports such as rugby. Not only is the study of morphology and BC essential to establish player positions, but it also allows the optimisation of competitive performance.

Bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA) in university athletes [PDF]
Background Bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA) is able to identify differences in hydration status and body composition components, such as body cell mass (BCM) by means of plotting individuals in ellipses, when comparing groups with different

Bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA) for measuring the hydration status in young elite synchronized swimmers. [PDF]
The assessment of body hydration is a complex process, and no measurement is valid for all situations. Bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA) has emerged as a relatively novel technique for assessing hydration status in sports. We applied BIVA a)

Relevance of standardized phase angle and bioelectrical impedance vectors in hospitalized older patients: A cohort study. [PDF]
Abstract Background The prognostic significance of standardized phase angle (StPhA) and bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA) remains unclear among hospitalized older individuals. Our study aimed to investigate the prognostic significance of StPhA and BIVA patterns concerning overall survival in hospitalized older patients.
