Correlation between body composition data obtained by DXA and skinfold predictive protocols in sprinters

Abstract The aim of this study was to describe the correlation between body composition data obtained through DXA and through skinfolds strategy, with some of their respective formulas, in sprinters. The sample consisted of 15 male sprinters (23.81 years ± 3.11; 70.06 Kg ± 4.38; and 179.13 CM ± 5.16...

Zusammenfassung:Abstract The aim of this study was to describe the correlation between body composition data obtained through DXA and through skinfolds strategy, with some of their respective formulas, in sprinters. The sample consisted of 15 male sprinters (23.81 years ± 3.11; 70.06 Kg ± 4.38; and 179.13 CM ± 5.16) all high performance runners of speed and barriers events (100m, 200m, 400m, 110m with barriers and 400m with barriers). The athletes were submitted to DXA evaluation procedure and to skinfolds collection (triceps, biceps, subscapular, supra iliac, abdominal, medial thigh and calf) and the results were calculated through four distinct equations: Slaughter, Faulkner, Lázari and Boileau. The respective DXA correlations (0.60; 0.81; 0.23 and 0.48) and the equations predicted by skinfold strategy were calculated using Pearson correlation. Among the equations used, Faulkner's was the one presenting highest correlation value when compared to DXA protocol, although all of them aimed to estimate values for BF%. Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever a correlação entre dados de composição corporal obtidos através de DEXA, e pela estratégia de dobras cutâneas, com algumas de suas respectivas fórmulas, em velocistas. A amostra foi composta por 15 velocistas do sexo masculino (23,81 anos ± 3,11; 70,06 Kg ± 4,38; e 179,13 cm ± 5,16) todos corredores de alto desempenho das provas de velocidade e barreiras (100m, 200m, 400m, 110m com barreiras e 400m com barreiras). Os atletas foram submetidos ao procedimento de avaliação do DEXA e a coleta de dobras cutâneas (tricipital, bicipital, subescapular, supra ilíaca, abdominal, coxa medial e panturrilha) e os resultados calculados através de quatros distintas equações Slaughter, Faulkner, Lázari e Boileau. As respectivas correlações (0,60; 0,81; 0,23 e 0,48) de DEXA e as equações previstas pela estratégia de dobras cutâneas foram calculadas através da correlação de Pearson. Dentre as equações utilizadas, a de Faulkner foi a que apresentou maior valor de correlação quando comparada ao protocolo do DEXA, apesar de todas terem por objetivo estimar valores para o %G.
