“…This is because the body is primarily composed of third class levers, therefore, the longer the bony segments, the greater the work and torque the lifter requires to lift the barbell [ 34 , 35 ]. Moreover, weightlifters can be expected to be heavier than age-matched individuals in the general population [ 32 , 36 ]. Compared to jumping or throwing disciplines, the body mass is relevant for explosive strength.…”

Weightlifting is a discipline where technique and anthropometric characteristics are essential to achieve the best results in competitions. This study aims to analyse the relationships between body composition, limb length and barbell kinematics in the performance of weightlifters. It consists of an observational and descriptive study of 19 athletes (12 men [28.50 ± 6.37 years old; 84.58 ± 14.11 kg; 176.18 ± 6.85 cm] and 7 women [27.71 ± 6.34 years old; 64.41 ± 7.63 kg; 166.94 ± 4.11 cm]) who met the inclusion criteria. A level I anthropometrist took anthropometric measures according to the methodology of the International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry (ISAK), and the measurement of the barbell velocity was made with the software Kinovea. In terms of body composition, both genders are within the percentage range of fat mass recommended for this sport. In female weightlifters, there is a positive correlation between foot length, maximal velocity in the Snatch (ρ = 0.775, p = 0.041), and performance indicator in the Snatch and the Clean & Jerk (ρ = 0.964, p < 0.001; ρ = 0.883, p = 0.008, respectively). In male weightlifters, a positive correlation between tibial length and average velocity of the barbell in the Snatch is observed (ρ = 0.848, p < 0.001). Muscle mass percentage correlates positively with performance indicator in both techniques (ρ = 0.634, p = 0.027; ρ = 0.720, p = 0.008). Also, the relative length of the upper limb is negatively correlated with the performance indicator (ρ = −0.602, p = 0.038). Anthropometry and body composition may facilitate skill acquisition among this sport population, contributing to increase the limited body of scientific knowledge related to weightlifting.

“…Comparing these indices, it was found that 9 of the 19 men in the sample had a BMI that indicated overweightness or obesity, as compared to the percentage of fat in which the entire sample demonstrated healthy values. In other studies, in which BMI was compared with the percentage of fat, even greater differences were found, finding results of 97.7% overweight or obese according to the BMI, as compared to 8.9% according to the percentage of fat [ 31 ]; or another in which 72% of the athletes would have been misclassified as obese according to the BMI results [ 32 ].…”

CrossFit® is a high-intensity sport that combines weightlifting, gymnastic skills, and cardiovascular exercises. To find the anthropometric references that define the optimal body composition, it is essential to first find an optimal body composition for one’s physical preparation. The objective of this study is to describe the anthropometric characteristics of 27 Spanish CrossFit® athletes, 19 males aged 39 years old (24–44) and 8 females aged 28 years old (23–40), and how these characteristics influenced their performance. The athletes performed the Fran, Cindy, and Kelly workouts, establishing minimum marks, and the CrossFit Total workout to assess maximum strength. Significant differences were not found in time and repetitions between sexes in skill training, although there was a positive correlation r = 0.876 (p < 0.001) between muscle mass and the Total CrossFit result. We can conclude that the CrossFit® athlete has a low amount of fat mass and a small relative size, which is an advantage when training with bodyweight exercises, and a high muscle mass that provide benefits when strength training. In addition, despite executing movements from a multitude of disciplines, the physical demands for lifting heavy loads resulted in the anthropometric values of athletes being more similar to elite weightlifting athletes than in other sports.

“…Estas discrepancias entre indicadores se justifican desde las transformaciones antropométricas experimentadas en la pubertad, dada la insuficiencia del IMC para medir con precisión el sobrepeso. Por lo que sería relevante considerar 23 , no solamente el peso corporal, sino el componente graso y magro del peso. En definitiva, puede haber cambios en la relación peso/estatura que no se traduzcan en cambios proporcionales con la relación perímetro de la cintura/estatura.…”

Análisis comparativo del sobrepeso y obesidad en adolescentes canarios y eslovenos a partir de la medida continua de la edad

Objetivo: comparar los niveles de sobrepeso y obesidad en 8416 adolescentes canarios y eslovenos de 14.60 ± 2.21 años, siendo el 49.96% mujeres. Método: para describir el perfil de sobrepeso y obesidad se estimó, siguiendo las recomendaciones habituales, a través de la medida de la masa, altura y perímetro cintura, utilizando los criterios de la Fundación Orbegozo (2011), y calculando su media, desviación estándar, coeficiente de correlación por rangos, comparación de medias (U de Mann-Whitney) y de igualdad de proporciones (rho de Spearman). Hallando según el Índice de Masa Corporal, normopeso (79.83%), sobrepeso (10.89%) y obesidad (9.28%) estratificando la muestra por género y segmento de edad; y a partir de estas medidas, los valores límite Índice Cintura-Altura. Resultados: no existen diferencias en cuanto a masa corporal entre canarios y eslovenos (p = 0.453), pero sí que se aprecian diferencias en altura (p = 0.012), cintura (p < 0.001), Índice de Masa Corporal (p = 0.002) e Índice Cintura-Altura (p < 0.001). Conclusiones: existen diferencias en la estructura corporal entre ambas poblaciones. Por lo que parece evidente la necesidad de emplear ambas medidas para obtener un diagnóstico completo de la obesidad en la adolescencia.
