Abstract Background The aim of this study was to compare body composition results from bioelectrical spectroscopy BIS with results from dual energy X-ray absorptiometry DXA in a population of male elite athletes. Body composition was assessed using DXA Lunar Prodigy GE Lunar Corp. Madison USA and BIS Hydra 4200 Xitron Technologies Inc San Diego California USA at the same occasion. Agreement between methods was assessed using paired t-tests and agreementplots. Results Thirty-three male elite athletes soccer and ice hockey were included in the study. The results showed that BIS underestimates the proportion of fat mass by points in the ice hockey players. In soccer players the BIS resulted in a lower mean fat mass by .
