ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Introduction: Genetic factors appear to explain why some athletes perform better in competition and training than their peers. Objective: To determine the occurrence of R577X polymorphism of the ACTN3 gene in mountain runners. Methods: The sample consisted of 19 female mountain runners with a mean age of 41.2 ± 6.1 years. Genotyping of R577X polymorphism of the ACTN3 gene was performed by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method with DNA extracted from saliva. The genotypic and allelic frequencies of the athletes were evaluated and compared with data from the literature. Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and Chi-square with Yates correction were used, with a significance level of p<0.05. Results: The genotypic distributions did not show any significant differences between the athletes and the control group, with RR = 15.8%, RX = 57.9%, XX = 26.3%. In regard to allelic distribution, the nonfunctional allele was higher in the study group than in the control group, with R = 44.7%, X = 55.3% for p = 0.0350. Conclusion: The data revealed a possible relationship between the ACTN3 X allele and athletic performance in Brazilian female mountain runners. Level of evidence II; Development of diagnostic criteria in consecutive patients (with "gold" reference standard applied).


RESUMO Introdução: O componente genético parece explicar a melhor adaptação à competição e ao treinamento de alguns atletas com relação a seus pares. Objetivo: Determinar a ocorrência do polimorfismo R577X do gene ACTN3 em atletas corredoras de montanha. Métodos: A amostra foi composta por 19 corredoras de montanha com média de idade de 41,2 ± 6,1 anos. A genotipagem do polimorfismo R577X do gene ACTN3 foi realizada pelo método de reação em cadeia de polimerase (PCR) com DNA extraído da saliva. As frequências genotípica e alélica das atletas foram avaliadas e comparadas com dados da literatura: Equilíbrio de Hardy-Weinberg, Qui-quadrado com correção de Yates, sendo adotado como nível de significância p<0,05. Resultados: As distribuições genotípicas RR = 15,8%, RX = 57,9%, XX = 26,3% em comparação com o grupo controle e as atletas da presente investigação, não mostraram diferença significativa. Quanto à distribuição alélica, o alelo não funcional no grupo estudado com relação ao controle foi maior R = 44,7%, X = 55,3% para p = 0,0350. Conclusão: Os dados revelaram uma possível relação entre o alelo X do ACTN3 e a condição atlética em corredoras de montanha brasileiras. Nível de evidência II; Desenvolvimento de critérios diagnósticos em pacientes consecutivos (com padrão de referência "ouro" aplicado).

Conclusión: Los datos revelaron una posible relación entre el alelo X del ACTN3 y la condición atlética en corredoras de montaña brasileñas.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Introduction This study aimed to propose regression equations for the correction of fat percentage values obtained with the WCS Dual Hand skinfold caliper, using the Lange skinfold caliper as a reference. Methods This study evaluated 112 undergraduate students from the Physical Education and Physical Therapy programs of the Faculdade Dom Bosco, located in Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil. Of these, 58 women were 24.9±5.8 years old and 54 men were 27.6±7.9 years old. The evaluation comprised the following measurements: height, body mass, and nine skin folds with WCS Dual Hand and Lange skinfold calipers used in biceps, triceps, subscapular, suprailiac, pectoral, average axillary, medial thigh, abdominal, and calf measurements. Results Through the simple linear regression analysis, eight equations were generated to correct the relative body fat obtained with equations commonly used in Brazil. For these correction equations, R2 was between 0.830 and 0.961 and p-value was 0.000 for all measurements. Conclusion These results indicate the use of equations for the correction of estimated values of relative body fat measured with the WCS Dual Hand skinfold caliper, whenever the Lange skinfold caliper is not available, in order to minimize the difference between them.
