Living things need water in their cells. Water is the universal solvent - most of the chemicals a cell needs is dissolved and transported in water. Water is an environment where chemical reactions can occur and water is needed in many of those reactions - like the hydrolysis reaction (needed in the break down of food molecules). If a cell becomes dehydrated chemical reactions slow down. Chemical balance of the cell is changed as waste materials are not removed fast enough, food is not broken down, etc. Water also helps regulate the heat that can build up in a cell during chemical reactions. A dehydrated cell = increase in cell temp. Water content of a cell also affects the pH of a cell environment. Certain reactions occur better at certain pH. Homeostasis is maintaining a balance with the the environment. Without water the balance is upset.
It strengthens your bones to be able to handle large amounts of pressure and weight on your body. I know this isn't related, but when a person breaks their ankle or something else they tend to heal quicker because they're athletes. So one way or another, increasing strength, helps to increase your capacity for exercising.
Plethysmography is the body composition method which uses air displacement to determine the body volume and used to determine body fat mass and volume.
<h3>What is Plethysmography?</h3>
Air displacement plethysmography (ADP) is a two-component model which assesses mass and volume of a body and therefore an estimation of body density. Body density can be derived from mass divided by the volume of body which can provide the estimation of fat and fat-free mass (FFM).
Plethysmography uses air displacement for the determination of body mass. Plethysmography is commonly conducted using a machine known as the BOD POD that uses the whole body air plethysmography to measure body composition.
