ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

The aim of this study was to compare changes in anthropometric profile, body composition, and somatotype of adolescent swimmers and less active adolescents.

METHOD:

We selected 16 swimmers and 8 less active adolescents. The swimmers were divided based on the amount of swimming activity performed per week. A longitudinal study with repeated measures was carried out. The anthropometric profile, body composition, and somatotype were assessed before and after the summer break from swimming activity.

RESULTS:

Both groups of swimmers showed more changes in anthropometric profile, body composition, and somatotype than the less active adolescents. The very active swimmers showed a higher increase in the sum of the two central skinfolds than peripheral ones (p = 0.018). Both groups of swimmers had a great increase of the percent change in the sum of the two central skinfolds (medium active swimmers p = 0.006, medium effect size = 0.72; very active swimmers p = 0.001, medium effect size = 0.64).

CONCLUSIONS:

The fat component seems to be more variable than the muscular and bone component during 55 - 65 days of summer break from swimming activity. The two groups of swimmers showed a preferential accumulation of central fat after the summer break compared to the less active adolescents. The suprailiac and abdominal skinfolds could be used as early predictive measurements to assess changes in body fat
RESUMEN

OBJETIVO:

El objetivo del estudio fue comparar los cambios en el perfil antropométrico, la composición corporal y el somatotipo entre nadadores adolescentes y adolescentes sedentarios.

MÉTODO:

Se llevó a cabo un estudio longitudinal con medidas repetidas. Se analizó el perfil antropométrico, la composición corporal y el somatotipo antes y después del verano. Se seleccionaron 24 adolescentes 16 nadadores y 8 sedentarios. Los nadadores se dividieron en dos grupos según los minutos de entrenamiento realizado por semana actividad intensa = 960 minutos, actividad media = 480 minutos.

RESULTADOS:

Los nadadores mostraron mayores cambios en el perfil antropométrico, la composición corporal y el somatotipo respecto a los adolescentes sedentarios tras el verano. Ambos grupos de nadadores tuvieron un aumento en la suma de los dos pliegues centrales (nadadores de actividad media p = 0.006, tamaño de efecto medio = 0.72; nadadores de actividad intensa p = 0.001, tamaño de efecto medio = 0.64). Los nadadores de actividad intensa mostraron un aumento en la suma de los dos pliegues centrales frente a los periféricos (p = 0.018).

CONCLUSIONES:

En nadadores adolescentes, la grasa corporal parece ser más variable frente al componente muscular y óseo después del verano. Ambos grupos de nadadores mostraron una acumulación preferencial de grasa central después del verano frente a los adolescentes sedentarios. Los pliegues centrales podrían usarse como medidas predictivas tempranas para evaluar los cambios en la grasa corporal
