ANÁLISIS CINEANTROPOMÉTRICO DE LA VOLUMETRÍA MUSCULAR DE ATLETAS DE ALTO RENDIMIENTO DE DEPORTES OLÍMPICOS DE COMBATE

Kinanthropometry of muscular volumes of elite sportsmen from olympic fighting sports Abstract: The fighting sportsmen from boxing (box), judo (jud), freestyle wrestling (frew), Graeco-Roman wrestling (grow) and taekwondo (twd) show specific biomechanical models of body which favor the success in the combat and determine the total amounts and spatial distribution of body masses of each weight category. The objective of this paper is to analyze the values and distributions of muscular mass's volumetric indexes of elite athletes from fighting sports. The calculation of bc indexes was done using the geometrical model of total and muscle areas (tma) of the segments of extremities and the corrected muscular circumference of thorax equation proposed by Ross and Kerr (1991).
