OBJECTIVE: To analyze the relationship between PhA and the fitness and athletic performance of adolescent boxers and to know whether this association is independent of body composition.
METHODS: Thirty-seven trained youth boxers (15-18 y old) participated in the study. Participants underwent anthropometry and bioelectrical impedance assessments. The following tests were conducted: Fitness-Gram battery; speed, agility, and quickness; ball throws; punch impact force; bench press maximal strength; and vertical and horizontal jumps. Linear regression models were estimated and adjusted by covariates.
RESULTS: The PhA was related to upper-limb strength. Nevertheless, in linear regression models, after adjusting models by body composition, only PhA remained as a predictor of relative maximal strength. The PhA was not a predictor of speed, agility, and quickness; cardiorespiratory fitness; or lower-limb power, in which adiposity was the main predictor of fitness.
CONCLUSIONS: In adolescent boxers, PhA can predict upper-limb maximal strength independently of bioelectrical impedance analysis premises. However, compared with mucle mass, PhA is not a better predictor of upper-limb maximal strength.
目的:分析PhA与青少年拳击手的健身和运动表现之间的关系,并了解这种关联是否与身体成分无关。
方法:37名受过训练的青年拳击手(15-18岁)参加了这项研究。参与者接受人体测量和生物电阻抗评估。进行了以下测试:健身克电池;速度,敏捷性,和敏捷;投球;冲头冲击力;卧推最大强度;以及垂直和水平跳跃。线性回归模型通过协变量进行估计和调整。
结果:PhA与上肢力量有关。然而,在线性回归模型中,根据身体成分调整模型后,只有PhA仍然是相对最大强度的预测因子。PhA不是速度的预测指标,敏捷性,和敏捷;心肺健康;或下肢力量,其中肥胖是健康的主要预测因子。
结论:在青少年拳击手中,PhA可以独立于生物电阻抗分析前提来预测上肢最大强度。然而,与粘液团相比,PhA不是上肢最大力量的更好预测指标。
