Abstract

In order to explore the difference of body composition characteristics and physical health between ordinary college students and professional canoeists in Jiangxi Province, this paper makes a comparative study of body composition of ordinary college students in Jiangxi Normal University, canoeists of Jiangxi Team and canoeists of national team, basing on literature, experiment and mathematical statistics. The research result shows that long-term canoeing can lead to significant decrease of  BMI, fat percentage, soft weight without fat and skeletal muscle, visceral fat, fat in upper and lower limbs. And it can produce soft weight without fat and increase in nutritional elements such as protein, minerals and inorganic salts.
