Evaluation and comparison of five skinfold calipers

Abstract:

:Introduction: The use of reliable, valid and precise skinfold calipers are key for an adequate anthropometric evaluation and corporal composition analysis. Objective: To compare five models of skinfold calipers -Prime Vision (PV); Harpenden (HP); Sanny (SN); Cescorf (CE); Lange (LA)-. Materials and methods:Thirty-five men (age = 21.5 ± 2.7 y; body mass 72.2 ± 8.0 kg; height 1.76 ± 0.06 m) were recruited and skinfolds (i.e.,triceps, biceps, subscapular, pectoral, mid-axillary, suprailiac, abdominal, mid-tight, mid-calf) were measured. Four body fat predictive equations (Durnin y Wimberley; Pollock 3DC; Pollock 7DC; Petroski) were used. Normality assumption for all data was verified with the Shapiro-Wilk test. Predicted body density and fat were compared between skinfold calipers using a two-way ANOVA, with Scheffe post hoc procedures. The αlevel was set at p ≤ 0.05 for statistical significance. Results: No significant differences were observed between skinfold calipers for predicted body density or body fat. Conclusion: Skinfold calipers compared in this study are precise and efficient to quantify and assess body density and body fat. :Introducción: en el campo de la evaluación antropométrica, la validación y precisión de los calibres de pliegues cutáneos son fundamentales en el conocimiento efectivo de la composición corporal. Objetivo: el objetivo del estudio fue evaluar y comparar 5 modelos de calibre de pliegues cutáneos, uno de ellos digital -Prime Vision (PV), y los mecánicos Harpenden (HP), Sanny (SN), Cescorf (CE) y Lange (LA)-, a través de la densidad y grasa corporal. Material y métodos: formaron parte del estudio 35 hombres (21,5 ± 2,7 años; 72,22 ± 8,04 kg; 1,76 ± 0,06 m). Fueron medidos 9 pliegues cutáneos (tríceps, bíceps, subescapular, pectoral, axilar medio, suprailiaca iliaca, abdominal, muslo y pantorrilla medial) y utilizadas 4 ecuaciones predictivas de la grasa corporal (Durnin y Womersley, Pollock de 3DC, Pollock 7DC y Petroski). Para la evaluación de los pliegues cutáneos fueron utilizados 5 modelos de calibres de pliegues cutáneos. Para verificar la distribución de la muestra fue utilizado el test de Shapiro Wilk. Para realizar la comparación de la densidad y grasa corporal en los diferentes calibres, se utilizó el test estadístico ANOVAdos vías con un post hoc de Scheffe. Para la comprobación estadística fue adoptado un p < 0,05. Resultados: no fue posible identificar diferencias significativas entre la densidad y la grasa corporal en los 5 calibres utilizados. Conclusión: los 5 calibres de pliegues cutáneos evaluados son precisos y eficientes para evaluar y cuantificar la DC y la grasa corporal.
