Relationship of body composition and image perception in musculation practicing women/RELACAO DA COMPOSICAO CORPORAL E A PERCEPCAO DA IMAGEM EM MULHERES PRATICANTES DE MUSCULACAO

Objective: To describe Body Image Perception (PIC) of women practicing bodybuilding and its correlation with body composition. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study was performed with 99 women aged 18-59 years. The Stunkard silhouettes scale was used for the evaluation of ICP. The anthropometric measures were used to evaluate the body composition. Data analysis was performed using the Pearson Correlation, Multiple Linear Regression and Poisson Regression tests. Results: The silhouettes 4 and 6 (24.2%) and the silhouette 4 (42.4%) are the most cited as real and ideal, respectively. Most women (84.8%) were dissatisfied with their actual PIC because of overweight (95.7%), fat percentage (% G) (92.1%) and waist circumference (WC) (86.4%). The regression models with greater power of prediction of the real silhouette took into consideration CC (57% of explanation) and CC, subscapular skin fold (DCSE) and supra-iliac (DCSI) (60% of explanation). The Prevalence Ratio (PR) with dissatisfaction with ICP was 1,650, 1,298 and 1,094 times higher in women classified as risk of general excess fat. Conclusion: The highest and most cited ideal silhouette was the 4, the highest correlations with the actual silhouette were IMC, DCSE, DCSI and CC, in the multiple linear regression the CC explained in 57% and DC, DCSE and DCSI 60%. The general prevalence occurred with dissatisfaction with high ICP, associated with BMI,% G and CC. Key words: Women. Body image. Resistance training. Objetivo: Descrever a Percepcao da Imagem Corporal (PIC) de mulheres praticantes de musculacao e a sua relacao com a composicao corporal. Materiais e Metodos: Estudo transversal realizado com 99 mulheres de 18 a 59 anos de idade. Utilizou-se a escala de silhuetas de Stunkard para a avaliacao da PIC. Para a avaliacao da composicao corporal utilizou-se as medidas antropometricas. Para a analise dos dados empregou-se os testes de Correlacao de Pearson, Regressao Linear Multipla e Regressao de Poisson. Resultados: As silhuetas 4 e 6 (24,2%) e a silhueta 4 (42,4%) sao as mais citadas como reais e ideal, respectivamente. A maior parte das mulheres (84,8%) estava insatisfeita com sua PIC real em funcao do excesso de peso (95,7%), percentual de gordura (%G) (92,1%) e circunferencia da cintura (CC) (86,4%). Os modelos de regressao com maior poder de predicao da silhueta real levaram em consideracao a CC (57% de explicacao) e CC, dobra cutanea subescapular (DCSE) e suprailiaca (DCSI) (60% de explicacao
