ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

The current literature about the body composition of elite football referees is scarce and almost non-existent. Therefore, and in order to establish the level of agreement between bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in elite football referees, the aim of this study was to compare fat mass (FM) and fat-free mass (FFM) values measured with these two different methods.

METHOD:

A total of 30 male referees belonging to 1st, 2nd and 2ndB categories, and 36 assistant referees from 1st and 2nd categories in the Spanish national league participated in this study. Total and regional FM and FFM were assessed using a portable BIA analyser TANITA BC 418-MA (Tanita Corp., Tokyo, Japan) and DXA (Hologic Corp. Software version 12.4, Bedford, MA 01730). Agreement between methods was assessed by plotting the results in Bland-Altman graphs and the presence of heteroscedasticity was also examined. Differences between methods were analysed by two-paired samples t-test.

RESULTS:

For the whole group, BIA underestimated body fat percentage in 3.87 points (CI 95%=3.22-4.52; p=<0.01) and overestimated kg of total FFM in 3.56 points (CI 95%=3.08-4.05; p=<0.01), however, no heteroscedasticity was shown in any case (all p > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONS:

The present study suggests that according to DXA, BIA values calculated with a non-specific equation are underestimating total FM and, consequently, overestimating total FFM in male elite football referees
RESUMEN

OBJETIVO:

La literatura científica existente sobre la composición corporal en árbitros de fútbol es todavía escasa. Por lo tanto y para establecer el nivel de concordancia entre el análisis de impedancia bioeléctrica y la absorciometría de rayos X de doble energía en árbitros de fútbol de elite, el objetivo de este estudio fue comparar los valores de masa grasa (MG) y la masa libre de grasa (MLG) medidos con ambos métodos.

MÉTODO:

Un total de 30 árbitros pertenecientes a las categorías de 1ª, 2ª y 2ª división B, y 36 asistentes de 1ª y 2ª división de la liga española participaron en este estudio. La MG y la MLG tanto a nivel total como regional se evaluó utilizando la impedancia bioeléctrica TANITA BC 418-MA (Tanita Corp., Tokyo, Japan) y absorciometría de rayos X de doble energía (Hologic Corp. Software versión 12.4, Bedford, MA 01730). La concordancia entre métodos se evaluó con gráficos de Bland-Altman y también se examinó la presencia de heterocedasticidad. Las diferencias entre métodos se analizaron con la prueba T de Student para muestras relacionadas.

RESULTADOS:

Para el total de la muestra, la impedancia bioeléctrica infraestimó el porcentaje de MG en 3.87 puntos (IC 95%=3.22-4.52; p=<0.01) y sobreestimó los kg de MLG en 3.56 puntos (IC 95%=3.08-4.05; p=<0.01), sin embargo, en ningún caso se observó heterocedasticidad (todos p > 0.05).

CONCLUSIÓN:

El presente estudio sugiere que, tomando como referencia la absorciometría de rayos X de doble energía, la impedancia bioeléctrica calculada a partir de una ecuación no especifica para árbitros, infraestima la MG y consecuentemente, sobreestima la MLG en árbitros de fútbol de elite
RESUMO

OBJETIVO:

A literatura atual sobre a composição corporal de árbitros de futebol de elite é escassa e quase inexistente. Portanto, afim de estabelecer o nível de concordância entre a bioimpedância elétrica (BIA) e a absorciometria por raios-X de dupla energia (DXA) em árbitros de futebol de elite, o objetivo deste estudo foi comparar os valores de massa gorda (FM) e massa livre de gordura (FFM) valores mensurados com estes dois diferentes métodos.

MÉTODO:

Um total de 30 árbitros pertencentes as categorias 1st, 2nd e 2ndB, e 36 árbitros assistentes da 1st e 2nd categorias da Liga Nacional Espanhola. A FM total e regional e a FFM foram avaliadas através de um analisador BIA portátil TANITA BC 418-MA (Tanita Corp., Tóquio, Japão) e DXA (Hologic Corp. Software versão 12.4, Bedford, MA 01730). A concordância entre os métodos foi avaliada através da plotagem dos resultados nos gráficos de Bland-Altman e a presença de heteroscedasticidade também foi examinada. As diferenças entre os métodos foram analisadas pelo teste t para duas amostras pareadas.

RESULTADOS:

Para o grupo como um todo, a BIA subestimou o percentual de gordura corporal em 3.87 pontos (IC 95% = 3.22-4.52; p = <0.01) e superestimou a kg total de FFM em 3.56 pontos (IC 95% = 3.08-4.05; p = <0,01), no entanto, nenhuma heteroscedasticidade foi mostrada em nenhum caso (todos p> 0.05).

CONCLUSÕES:

O presente estudo sugere que, de acordo com a DXA, os valores da BIA calculados com uma equação não específica estão subestimando a FM total e, consequentemente, superestimando a FFM total em árbitros de futebol de elite do sexo masculino
