Popis: The resistive component of the bioimpedance was non invasively assessed in both right and left forearms of 11 healthy female and 9 male subjects (28.4 ± 1.4 years; 63.8 ± 11.8 kg; 167.4 ± 7.5 cm) all of which were right-handed. A homemade electrical impedance spectroscopy device which implemented the AD 5933 electronic board from Analog Devices Inc., USA, was utilized, and the bipolar modality of bio-impedance assessment was chosen using two disposable ECG surface electrodes placed in each end of the biceps brachial muscles while subject were comfortably sitting. Forearms resistance was acquired at sweeping frequencies steps of 15, 30, 45, 60 and 75 KHz. Results showed a significantly lower mean value of resistance in right versus left forearms (−27.4 Ω, P
