Body Adiposity Models in Sexual Dimorphism Assessment on the Example of Athletes Training Field Hockey
Journal Title: Antropomotoryka. Journal of Kinesiology and Exercise Sciences - Year 2007, Vol 17, Issue 39
Abstract
The aim of the work. The aim of this study was to evaluate sex differences in body fat distribution among field hockey players. It is known that athletes have less fat and more muscle mass than the rest of the population in the same age and sex. Women have more fatty tissue than men who practise the same discipline.Material and method. Sixty-two field hockey players (37 women and 25 men) were measured. Following anthropometric features were taken: body height, body mass and skinfolds (shoulder blade, chest, biceps, triceps, abdomen, hip, thigh, calf). Two models were used to body fat distribution estimation. The first model included body fat at extremities and at trunk. The second one divided adiposity on gynoid type (sum of skinfolds on abdomen and thigh) and android type (sum of skinfolds on chest and shoulder blade).Results. As we know from our research, field hockey players of both sexes differ significantly at adiposity level. They have more fat tissue on extremities but more significant differences were noticed between girls than boys. Besides gynoid or female fat pattern with relatively greater fat in the hip and thigh areas appears and dominates in both sexes.
