The article deals with importance and adaptation options of body composition and physical fitness. Measurement methodology of body composition and physical fitness was done. Skinfold caliper and bioelectrical impedance analysis techniques was used to obtain body composition parameters. Physical fitness was measured using veloergometry, sit-ups, sit-and-reach, flamingo balance, plate tapping and back muscle dynamometer tests. After research relationship was established between: muscle mass and maximum oxygen uptake (for female, r = −0,635, p < 0,05), muscle mass and sit-ups results (for female, r = 0,514, p > 0,05), bone mass and maximum oxygen uptake (for female, r = −0,636, p < 0,05), body fat mass and maximum oxygen uptake (for male, 0,580 r = − , 0,05 p < ), body fat mass and sit-and-reach results (for male, r = − 0,601, p < 0,05), total body water and maximum oxygen uptake (for male, r = 0,537 , p < 0,05 ), total body water and sit-and-reach results (for male, r = 0,559 , p < 0,05).
