Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze the parity of the equations which estimate body fat percentage using the body density as an independent variable in soccer professional athletes. The studied group was constituted of twenty-five soccer professional athletes with 22,7±4,4 years old. The anthropometric measures were evaluated: body mass and height, besides the hydrostatic weight, in order to determine the body density. Four equations which calculate the percentage of fat were analyzed by means of the body density: Rathburn & Pace (1945), Keys & Brozek (1953), Siri (1961) and Brozek et al. (1963). The average results, these were respectively found 7,73±2,80%; 6,49±2,12%; 6,93±2,50%; 9,45±2,31%. When the paired “t” test was applied, there were not statistically significant differences. Although there is no difference, it is suggested to be used the equation developed by Brozek et al. (1963) since it shows less variability to predict the percentage of fat in soccer professional athletes.
