Anthropometric and Kinanthropometric Distinctive Profile of a Sedentary Population Compared with an Amateur Athlete Population

Anthropometry and kinanthropometry are sciences that measure variations in the physical dimensions composition of human body. There studies analyze these parameters individually, but we believe it is much better to them globally. We realized a multivariate analysis, determine which variables could explain profiles subjects depending on sex, lifestyle, type sports modality. analyzed 25 population 574 people aged between 18 42 years. A statistical analysis was performed using exploratory factor then obtained five differentiating variables: fat mass, muscle bone skinfolds, robustness. classified into sedentary amateur athletes with predominance upper lower train, mainly an attempt existence significance them. Amateur train have higher Body Mass Index Relative Lower Limbs, addition greater mass robustness than those train. The control group presented values terms skinfolds mass. This work help choose best sport according their morphotype, also be used plan training potentiate different body regions, injury recovery, selection talented athletes, etc.
