dc.description.abstract | Different rugby positions make different demands on players. It therefore follows that
optimum body composition may vary according to the position played. Using anthropometry and
bioimpedance analysis (BIA) to assess body composition, the present study aimed to compare the
effect of sex and position on body composition variables using anthropometry and BIA methods.
A total of 100 competitive rugby players (35 women and 65 men) competing in the First Spanish
National League were recruited voluntarily and for convenience for this study. In the laboratory,
body composition was assessed by anthropometry, following the recommendations established by
the International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry (ISAK), and by direct segmental
multi-frequency BIA, following the guidelines established by the Spanish Group of Kinanthropome try (GREC) of the Spanish Federation of Sports Medicine (FEMEDE). We found sex-related differences
in height, weight, body mass index and body fat (%) by anthropometry and in body lean mass (%) by
DSM-BIA, in 4 of the 6 skinfolds assessed (p < 0.05). We also observed position-related differences
in all the variables assessed (p < 0.05) except for lean body mass, as measured by both methods
of determining body composition, and front thigh skinfold. Body composition and ∑6skinfolds
differs according to sex and playing position, backs (16.6 ± 3.8% and 92.3 ± 33.9 mm,) vs. forwards
(20.0 ± 6.7 and 115.3 ± 37.6 mm), and the muscle-adipose (meso-endomorphic somatotype) devel opment predominated in both sexes. Thus, forwards of both sexes are taller, heavier and fatter,
possibly due to the specific demands of this position. In addition, body composition measurements
vary according to the method used (DSM-BIA vs. anthropometry), indicating that anthropometry is
probably the best body composition assessment method. | es |
