Elite field hockey players (n = 14) were examined four times in an outdoor training cycle. Each time measurements of body height and body mass were done. Besides, their level of body composition was monitored with the use of Body Impedance Analyser.Main findings. The study showed that the heighest body mass level was characteristic for the fourth stage of the examinations – transitional period, i.e. time for rest, where as during the first three stages it was very similar. The fat mass also changed in the observed training cycle. The highest level was indicated for the first and the last stage of research. The analysis of individuals shows further changes within the body composition level. The body mass changes were not large, however the level of the fat mass was different in particular individuals.
