Análisis de la Composición Corporal en Estudiantes de la Carrera de Cultura Física de la Universidad de Cuenca 2015

The aim of this study was to determine the anthropometric profile of university students and various parameters related to body composition. A basic anthropometric examination based on the methodology and the standards proposed by Carter and Faulkner [1] was performed and approved by the International Society for the Advancement of the Kineanthropometry (ISAK) [3] [3] [2], for which 12 anthropometric variables were considered: weight, height, 5 fold (subscapularis, triceps, abdominal, suprailiac, medial leg), 3 diameters (radial biestiloideo, biepicondylar of the humerus and femur biepicondylar) and 2 perimeters (contracted medial arm and leg). The results for age males were 23.05 ± 4.07 years; Weight 72.88 ± 7.20 kg; Size 168.02 ± 6.67 centimeters, and with an ideal weight of 63.22 ± 7.41 kg; and for women age values of 23.82 ± 3.17 were obtained; Weight 57.95 ± 8.61 kg; and 158.09 ± 7.51 Carving centimeters, with a weight of 54.30 ± perfect 7.59. It is concluded that the somatotype predominant in males is the endo-mesomorphic with mean values of 3.16 for Endomorphic value for the mesomorphic 5.03 and 2.17 for ectomorphic, while women predominantly meso -endomorfico with values of 5.04 for endomorphic, 4.50 and 1.51 for the mesomorphic ectomorphic.
