Background: The aim of the present study was to evaluate & compare the body fluid level, total mineral content in trained male and female players of four different sport disciplines Material and methods: 46 archers (M = 18 & F = 28), 57 track & field athletes (M = 26 & F = 31), 81 footballers (M = 24 & F = 57) and 43 gymnasts (M = 21 & F = 22) were evaluated using a multi-frequency bioelectrical impedance analyzer Results: Track & field athletes were found to be bigger in size while gymnasts were smaller. Total body water (%) was found to be higher in all the male players over their female counterparts. Total mineral mass, total body Ca2+ and K+ were also found to differ significantly (p < 0.05 & p < 0.01) between male & female players of different sports disciplines except in gymnastics. However, overall significant difference (p < 0.05 & p < 0.01) was observed between archers and gymnasts, as well as archers and footballers in both male & female players when Scheffe’s Post hoc test was applied. Conclusions: The study revealed the influence of specific training load and gender on total body water and mineral content on athletes playing different sports. These findings could be implemented in sports to formulate the systematic training program and also for future comparison.
