- Abstract
Featured Application: This work could help people without regular physical activity to choose the best sport according to their morphotype. The different indexes could be used to plan sports training to potentiate different body regions. These results could be a factor to take into account when confirming that physical activity can be beneficial for health. Kinanthropometry allows us to analyze variations in physical dimensions and body composition. This study's objective was to evaluate the kinanthropometric differences based on physical activity performance, depending on whether the lower body or the whole body is more or less potent and the differences with a sedentary population. We analyzed 131 individuals (74 men and 57 women), with an average age of 22.68 ± 2.98 years. We differentiated three populations: sedentary (n = 63), runners (n = 20), and basketball players (n = 48). Measurements and indices were obtained following the international protocol of the International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry (ISAK). The results show differences between the populations regarding weight, height, wingspan, and certain perimeters, diameters, and morphotypes depending on the predominant training type and the sedentary population. These anthropometric measurements will allow the amateur athlete to compare between seasons or other moments of training, pay attention to their evolution, and assess the possibility of changes in training.
