Abstract
El objetivo del presente estudio fue examinar la relación entre el consumo máximo de oxígeno medido de manera directa y determinados índices de composición corporal en adolescentes (15-18 años). En el estudio participaron de forma voluntaria 155 adolescentes (79 chicos y 76 chicas) que fueron agrupados en terciles en función de su VO2max (alta, moderada y baja) y el sexo. El VO2max se midió de forma directa mediante la utilización de un analizador de gases portátil durante la realización del 20 Meter Shuttle Run test. En ambos sexos, el consumo máximo de oxígeno se relacionó significativa y negativamente con el IMC, pliegue abdominal, sumatorio de seis pliegues y porcentaje de grasa corporal, siendo la correlación más fuerte la establecida con el sumatorio de pliegues (r=-0.68 chicos; r=-0.65 chicas) y la más débil con el IMC (r =-0.56 chicos; r=-0.53 chicas). El grupo de alta capacidad aeróbica mostró valores significativamente menores de pliegue abdominal, sumatorio de seis pliegues y porcentaje de grasa corporal comparado con los grupos de baja y moderada capacidad aeróbica, tanto en chicos como en chicas.
The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between direct measurement of maximal oxygen uptake and body composition in adolescents aged 15 to 18 years. 155 adolescents (79 boys y 76 girls) participated voluntarily in the study. Participants were cross-tabulated into tertiles according to their VO2max (high, moderate and low cardiorespiratory fitness). VO2max was measured using a portable gas analyzer during the 20 m Shuttle Run Test. For both genders, maximal oxygen uptake was found to be significantly and inversely associated with abdominal skinfold, sum of six skinfolds, body fat percentage and body mass index. The association was higher with sum of six skinfolds (r=-0.68 for boys, r=-0.65 for girls) than with body mass index (r=-0.56 for boys, r= -0.53 for girls). The high cardiorespiratory fitness group shows lower values of abdominal skinfold, sum of six skinfolds and percentage body fat compared to low and moderate cardiorespiratory fitness groups, both males and females.
