ResumoObjetivo: Investigar a composição corporal (CC) e o salto vertical bem como as possíveis correlações entre os parâmetros de CC e o desempenho de jogadores brasileiros de basquetebol. Métodos: Dez jogadores profissionais de basquetebol (idade 23,3 ± 3,7 anos, massa corporal 88,9 ± 15,3 kg e estatura 193 ± 8,3 cm) foram submetidos à análise da composição corporal (DXA) em que foram separados os segmentos corporais do tronco, pernas e total, e desempenho de salto vertical, mensurado pelo Squat Jump (SJ) e Countermovement Jump (CMJ). Resultados: Foram encontrados valores de percentual de gordura total (%GTOTAL) de 16,4 ± 8,1% e massa gorda total (MGTOTAL) de 14,7 ± 9,3 kg. Além disso, o percentual de gordura do tronco (%GT) foi de 17,3 ± 8,6% e massa gorda do tronco (MGT) foi de 7,4 ± 4,9 kg. O SJ (37,7 ± 5,7 cm) foi significativamente menor que o CMJ (40,8 ± 6,0 cm; +7,6 ± 6,0%; p<0,05), que correspondeu a uma diferença absoluta (CMJ-SJ) de 3,1 ± 2,7 cm. Adicionalmente, foram encontradas correlações negativas entre o desempenho no CMJ e os parâmetros de %GTOTAL e MGTOTAL, MGT e %GT (r = -0,69; r = -0,66; r = -0,71; r = -0,72; p<0,05). Conclusões: Jogadores de basquete brasileiros, a distribuição das massas (i.e., massa magra, massa gorda), principalmente a massa gorda total e a do tronco influencia diretamente no desempenho do salto.Palavras-Chave: antropometria, DEXA, desempenho, basquetebol. AbstractObjective: Was to investigate the influence of body composition (BC) and vertical jump performance and possible correlations between BC parameters and performance of Brazilian professional basketball players. Methods: Ten professional basketball players (23.3 ± 3.7 years, 88.9 ± 15.3 kg and 193 ± 8.3 cm) were submitted to body composition analysis (DXA) on the trunk, leg and total body segments, and vertical jump performance measured by Squat Jump (SJ) and Countermovement Jump (CMJ). Results: Total fat percentage (% FTOTAL) and total fat mass (FMTOTAL) were 16.4 ± 8.1% and 14.7 ±9.3 kg, respectively. In addition, trunk fat percentage (% TF) was 17.3 ± 8.6% and trunk fat mass (TFM) was 7.4 ± 4.9 kg. SJ (37.7 ± 5.7 cm) was significantly lower than CMJ (40.8 ± 6.0 cm, +7.6 ± 6.0%, p<0.05), which corresponded to an absolute difference (CMJ-SJ) of 3.1 ± 2.7 cm. In addition, negative correlations were found between CMJ performance and % FTOTAL and FMTOTAL, TFM and % TF parameters (r = -0.69, r = -0.66, r = -0.71, r = -0.72, p <0.05). Conclusion: Based on these results, it can be concluded that Brazilian professional basketball players, the mass distribution (i.e., lean mass, fat mass), especially total and torso fat mass have direct influences on jumping performance.
