Purposes:To compare different assessment methods of the body composition in overweight and sedentary obese women submitted to two months of circuit training (CIRC) or Jogging (JOGG) and to associate the physical performance to the muscular index calculated using two methods. Methods: Groups: CIRC, n = 14, body mass index (BDI, kg/m 2 ) = 32 ± 8 (mean ± SD; age = 34 ± 10 years; and JOGG, n = 12, BMI = 30 ± 3; age = 38 ± 11. Training: 60 min. x 3d/week in the first month, and 60 min. x 4d/week in the second month. Assessment of the body composition: anthropometry (1,2) , bio-impedance (3) , and somatotype (4) . It was performed one maximal repetition test (1-MR) to the bench press, leg press and low-seated rowing exercises. Results: The mass, the BMI, the body fat percentage by the anthropometry and bio-impedance, and the endomorphy were significantly reduced in both groups. The mesomorphy had a decrease, and the ectomorphy increased in the JOGG. The bio-impedance slim and muscular mass did not change in both groups. The muscular circumference of the arm (MCA) had a significant increase in the CIRC. The result of the bioimpedance fat percentage and the anthropometry were the same and significantly correlated. The endomorphy was significantly correlated to the anthropometry fat percentage, and to the mesomorphy to the slim mass anthropometry. The ectomorphy was not correlated to the slim mass of the anthropometry. Conclusion: The somatotype had a good result to assess the phenotypical changes in obese women submitted to the training. Nevertheless, the endomorphy presented the best concordance, and the ectomorphy had the worst one compared to other methods. The results of the somatotype suggest that the CIRC attained the best result into this group. The bio-impedance and the anthropometry produced similar results to assess the body composition.

“…The body muscular mass was calculated from anthropometric measurements, according to the following equation modified from Martin et al (17) : 6) MMu = [E x (0,0553 x A 2 + 0,0987 x B 2 + 0,0331 x C 2 ) -2445] x 1000 where: MMu = muscular mass (kg); E = height (cm); A = muscular circumference of the thigh (cm).…”

“…Al estimar el componente muscular fue necesario contar con la medida de la estatura, valores de perímetros musculares y pliegues cutáneos. Aplicamos seis ecuaciones de predicción de la MM existentes en la literatura científi-ca (Poortmans et al;Heymsfield et al, 1982;Drinkwater, 1984;Martin et al, 1990;Kerr, 1988, Doupe et al, 1997, que posteriormente serán combinadas siguiendo la táctica de Matiegka en un modelo fraccional de cuatro componentes, masa residual (MR), masa ósea (MO), masa grasa (MG) y masa muscular (MM).…”

RESUMEN: Actualmente la cuantificación de la masa muscular es un área de estudio que ocupa distintas disciplinas científicas tanto de la salud como de las ciencias del deporte por ser un componente de la masa corporal que está en íntima relación con aspectos de la salud y del rendimiento deportivo. Existe una gran variedad de métodos y ecuaciones para su estimación pero la aplicación de las mismas no siempre resulta la más adecuada. El propósito de nuestro estudio es determinar la masa muscular en 37 jugadores de bádminton españoles, a través de técnicas antropométricas y hallar la fórmula más apropiada para dicha población. Fueron evaluadas 55 variables antropométricas: peso, estatura. perímetros, diámetros, longitudes, alturas y pliegues cutáneos. La composición corporal estimada de los jugadores de bádminton fue de 44% para la masa muscular y de 13% para la masa grasa. Los resultados indican que la táctica de fraccionamiento tetracompartimental que mejor se ajusta y concuerda con el peso real estimado con balanza es la siguiente: Masa Residual (Wurch), Masa Ósea (Rocha), Masa Grasa (Faulkner) y Masa Muscular (Drinkwater o Kerr).PALABRAS CLAVE: Bádminton, antropometría, composición corporal, masa muscular. INTRODUCCIÓNLa cuantificación de la masa muscular (MM) en vivo ha cobrando un interés creciente en varias disciplinas tanto de la salud humana como en las ciencias del deporte. La necesidad de una estimación precisa se pone de manifiesto por su relación con aspectos de la salud tales como: el estado de las reservas proteicas, la capacidad termorreguladora, la inmunocompetencia y la independencia funcional, entre otros. Hoy se reconoce que la pérdida de tejido muscular asociado con el envejecimiento (sarcopenia) o enfermedades catabólicas (cáncer, VIH/SIDA, insuficiencia renal cró-nica, insuficiencia cardiaca congestiva, etc) está relacionada con la disminución de la calidad y la expectativa de vida. Por otro lado, en ciencias deportivas la adecuada cuantificación de la MM nos permitirá interpretar mejor los efectos anabólicos del entrenamiento físico en el ejercicio, su relación con el coste metabólico, la producción de fuerza, la capacidad de trabajo físico y el rendimiento muscular.En las últimas décadas se han desarrollado diversas técnicas que se basan en las propiedades del músculo incluyendo el contenido de creatina (Poortmans et al., 2005), la concentración de potasio (Wang et al., 2007), ultrasonido (Sanada et al., 2006) y la conductividad eléctrica (Tanimoto et al., 2008). No obstante la mayoría de estos métodos se basan en una serie de supuestos que son difíciles de validar en vivo. Una alternativa a estos, como norma de referencia, son las técnicas de imagen como la resonancia magnética (Shen et al., 2004) y la tomografía computarizada (Fernández-Vieitez et al., 2000). Sin embargo son métodos costosos y de acceso limitado.

“…Studies showed that females and males with ratios greater than 1.8 and 1.9 tended to have excessive fat around the waist. These measurements provide information about fat and muscle mass in the lower quadrant (i.e., pelvis and lower extremity) and serve as indicators for inclination to obesity, which are important because of their connection to health conditions such as heart disease and muscle strength [15].…”

Longer life expectancy is resulting in increasing numbers of elderly adults with intellectual disability (ID).There has been the question whether persons with ID demonstrate early signs of aging before the general population. The aim of this study was to determine if persons with ID (with and without Down syndrome) showed premature aging changes compared with a control group.Elderly persons (n = 24, average age of 61) from one residential care center in Israel and younger adults from another center (n = 37, average age of 45) were compared with elderly residents without ID in an independent living facility. The study considered demographic data, medical data, anthropometric measurements, body fat and body mass index, flexibility, and sensorimotor function tests.The results showed that the persons with ID had basically similar body composition to that of persons without ID, however, the functional performance of elderly adults with ID was more impaired.We postulate that the slower functioning responses may be explained by a less physically active lifestyle, that may accelerate the onset of disease and result in symptoms associated with aging that are detrimental to health. It is therefore important that persons with ID participate in physical activity and exercises in order to promote health and prevent disease. KEYWORDS
