Summary

Understanding Functional Body Composition (FBC) is essential so that professionals working with the body and movement can understand the changes that occur in the body. From a historical point of view, the body composition analysis (BC) was organized into two compartments, being fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM). The FBC associates BC components to metabolic, physiological and biochemical verifying the movement influence and allowing the professional to have a basic understanding of the BC through the different compartmental levels models and methods, seeking a more effective understanding. Studies have shown a relationship between a desirable BC and health of individuals. Therefore, the objective was to carry out a brief review of the literature on FBC and to understand its influence on the organism, whether or not it is linked to the practice of physical activity (PA). The present study was based on a narrative review on the FBC theme. As conclusion, the BC is able to influence the functioning of the human body and can now be analyzed in five levels. The more sophisticated its quantification, the better its understanding of its relation to the variation of the organism's health condition (nutritional state, metabolism and pathologies). Exercise can benefit the BC by maintaining and increasing the components that positively influence health.
