Been working out the last few months making sure I'm in tip toe condition for our Soccer league..Don't want to disappoint my teammates..
What do you think is the perfect bodyfat % of an athlete? or acceptable?
Edit: Mods please move to club.
98.99%
been going pretty hard at crossfit lately
mine is somewhere around 12% I played division 1 sports in college and it was around 9% then.
For a pro athlete im not sure. Parkers is near 30% and he's got a $45 million contract so maybe the higher the better.
maybe the secret is matching your body fat with your contract
7%
2% for athletes
4
22%
Being in tip toe condition is important, especially for hunters who have to sneak upon their prey.
Pro athletes have all different types of BF%'s. You have to narrow it down.
Soccer players generally have the lowest because of the amount of running they do, while not needing much muscle to compete at a high level. There are lots of football players with BF%'s over 25%. If you're talking NBA specifically, it's likely between 4-12%, with a few players (like old Shaq, Z-Bo, Boogie, Marc Gasol, Big Baby, etc.) who are obviously much higher, likely in the high teens to over 20%.
Does not make a bit of difference.
If you can do 2 miles in a row in 12 minutes you should be in rec. shape. You should get in better shape during the season.
Forget the body fat, it's about performance. BTW if you can accomplish this starting off, you won't have a high % body fat.
As far as your touch on the ball, that's up to you. That's much more difficult than being in proper shape, as skill is involved.
Just a bony or athletic? Serious question.
Enrique is happy at 50%
you mean me? i don't know what my fat % is, i answered as to what the ideal is for a soccer player. as for me, i've always been a small athletic freak, for a white guy, but i've lost weight like two years ago because i wanted to see if my body could have a true six pack. at one point i had 59kg*178cm but i was ripped as , it was at a point where i really had 0 fat, i've heard the normal for a human without using PED is around 6%, i wouldn't be surprised if i was that. Last year i had a bad knee for a year and couldn't workout so i lost pretty much all my muscular tone, and it's though to get it back now, since i use up way more energy than i am able to eat. Don't know, i've always had a very strong metabolism. In short, right now i'm like 65kg and eating like crazy. If i get to 70kg and keep the six pack, i'll be very happy.
If you really had 0% body fat, you would be deed.
And I don't think your deed.
Jesus - you would die.
It would determine the sport.
So it was a tough read.
And the Nazi's would be unable to make soap out of you.
So there's that...
interesting replies. Thanks...
I am working hard with my cardio this year.
Hppefully we dominate in this years tournament.
Just get around 10-12%, OP..
Anything less than that requires too much dedication for something you aren't getting paid to do, tbh
As long as you aren't above 15%, FYI..
Ideal for athlete is roughly 5-10%. I'm probably sitting at 14% right now (6'1" 168 lbs), currently cutting.
