- Sexual dimorphism in body composition indices in martial arts athletes Noor Aiwa Willy Pieter Salud young Malaysian adolescent combative sports AIWA, N. & PIETER, W. Sexual dimorphism in body composition indices inmartial arts athletes. Brazilian Journal of Biomotricity. v. 1, n. 3, p. 56-64, 2007.The purpose of this study was to assess differences in body compositionindices between adolescent male and female martial arts athletes. Subjects (11girls, 18.09±1.69 years, 160.31±5.49 cm, 56.24±5.44 kg and 15 boys,17.40±2.27 years, 168.13±6.96 cm, 58.93±10.23 kg) were recreationally activetaekwondo and karate practitioners recruited from local clubs in NortheastPeninsular Malaysia. Body composition indices included reciprocal ponderalindex (cm.kg-0.333), percent fat, and lean body mass (LBM). A 1-way ANOVAwas used to determine the differences in body composition indices betweenboys and girls. The boys were taller (p=0.004, eta2=0.292) and had more LBM (47.39±6.88 kg vs. 38.67±3.45 kg, p<0.001, eta2=0.420). The girls carried moreweight for height (41.95±1.24 cm.kg-0.333 vs. 43.46±1.86 cm.kg-0.333, p=0.029,eta2=0.184), which was due to having more fat (31.17±2.18% vs. 19.21±2.84%,p<0.001, eta2=0.850). Weight for height is comparable to that of martial artsathletes competing at a similar level in other countries. It is of concern thatactive adolescent girls seem to have more fat than commonly found in martialarts athletes. Dietary advice may be sought in addition to more aerobic work aspart of the athletes conditioning program. 2007 artículo científico 1981-6324 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=93010303 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=930 Brazilian Journal of Biomotricity application/pdf Universidade Iguaçu Brazilian Journal of Biomotricity (Brasil) Num.3 Vol.1
