Body composition of Piracicaba cane cutters football players
Abstract
American football is the fastest growing sport in Brazil, teams are divided between attack and defense, with its positions and functions, and the interest in studying the body composition of Football players dated 46 years ago. The present study aimed to evaluate the body composition of Piracicaba Cane Cutters Football players. The study included 56 male football players from 18 to 15 years of age. Body measurements such as weight, height and skinfolds (Pectoral, Abdominal, Triceps, Thigh and Calf) were performed in order to calculate BMI, percentage of fat, muscle mass and fat free mass. According to the position of the player, it has been noticed that Offensive Line has greater weight and BMI in relation to Tight End, Defensive Line, Linebacker, Running Back, Defensive Back, Quarterback and Wide Receiver that were classified in this order, in addition to presenting a greater %fat, evidencing pre-sarcopenic obesity. Wide Receiver presented greater % of MLG followed by Defensive Back, Linebacker, Running Back, Tight End, Defensive Line, Quarterback, Offensive Line; but the Linebacker position showed greater % of MM followed by Wide Receiver, Running Back, Defensive Back, Quarterback, Defensive Line, Tight End, Offensive Line; since the Wide Receiver and Quarterback IMM show sarcopenia in both. There was a differentiation of body composition by position, explained by unique characteristics of each position, physical effort and a body composition adequate to fulfill its purpose and to succeed in its function.
