Composição corporal, somatotipo e proporcionalidade de culturistas de elite do Brasil

Bodybuilding is a sport that mainly emphasizes physical appearance, body configuration and shape, trying to achieve aesthetics perfection. Kinanthropometry is a fundamental tool to lead training follow-up in bodybuilding. In spite of that, there are few scientific papers on the subject. The purpose of this paper is to describe body composition, somatotype and proportionality of 23 bodybuilders in the 2000 Brazilian Bodybuilding Championship. The subjects were evaluated moments before the competition according to the following specific variables: total weight, stature, nine skinfolds (tricipital, subscapular, bicipital, chest, medium axillary, suprailiac, abdominal, front thigh, medium calf), muscle girths (flexed biceps and calf-standing), and three bone breadths (elbow, ankle and knee), in accordance with ISAK methodology. The athletes were between 20 and 56 years old, with body weight between 57.4 kg and 105.8 kg. The sum of the nine skinfolds varied between 38.4 mm and 70.2 mm. The somatotype was 1.88.1-0.7, which can be classified as a balanced mesomorphic one. The average of body fat was 9.65%, using the Faulkner protocol, proposed by the Brazilian Group of Kinanthropometry. Fat weight was 7.29 kg. When compared to Phantom, the athletes showed higher body weight (Z = + 1.66), elbow girth (Z = + 5.26), and calf girth (Z = +O culturismo e um esporte que enfatiza a aparencia fisica, a configuracao e o formato corporais, buscando assim a excelencia estetica.

O objetivo deste trabalho e descrever a composicao corporal, o somatotipo e a proporcionalidade de 23 culturistas finalistas do Campeonato Brasileiro de Culturismo do ano de 2000. Os atletas foram avaliados momentos antes da competicao e as seguintes variaveis determinadas: peso total, estatura, nove dobras cutâneas (triceptal, subescapular, biceptal, peitoral, axilar media, supra-iliaca, abdominal, medial da coxa e medial da perna), dois perimetros musculares (braco fletido e perna) e tres diâmetros osseos (umeral, biestiloidal e femoral), conforme a metodologia proposta pela International Society for the Advancement of Kineanthropometry (ISAK). Os atletas apresentaram idades entre 20 e 56 anos e peso corporal entre 57,4kg e 105,8kg. O somatorio das nove dobras cutâneas (S9DC) variou entre 38,4mm e 70,2mm. O somatotipo encontrado foi de 1,8-8,1-0,7, classificado como mesomorfo balanceado. O percentual medio de gordura foi de 9,65%, usando o protocolo de Faulkner, proposto pelo Grupo Brasileiro de Cineantropometria. O peso de gordura encontrado foi de 7,29kg. Quando comparados ao Phantom, os atletas estudados apresentaram maiores: peso corporal (Z = +1,66), perimetro de braco (Z = +5,26) e perimetro de perna (Z = +1,91). Conclui-se que os culturistas brasileiros de elite estudados apresentam baixo percentual de gordura e grande peso muscular, quando comparados com o modelo de Ross e Wilson (1974), sendo a sua estrutura corporal semelhante a dos culturistas da elite internacional.

Doping cosmético: a problemática das aplicações intramusculares de óleos

Doping in sports world and in the subculture of professional and recreational bodybuilding athletes is very much known and also studied by the academic and scientific community. However, a new problem, which we defined as cosmetic doping, was introduced some decades ago and has grown in importance in Brazil in recent years. It is the systematic injection of oily substances by intramuscular routes, known as ADE (liposoluble vitamins A, D and E), with the purpose to enlarge the muscle volumetrically, what could lead to necrosis, physical deformities or even death. This article introduces the history of the cosmetic use of body fillers and the review of the possible deleterious and lethal effects that could result as a consequence of the use, as well as the mechanisms that are involved after the injection of these substances. Moreover, simple methods for potential observation of its use in athletes are presented. This paper also suggests that health professionals should report cases when these users are submitted due to their complications, since the studies and cases documented until the present time are only a small part of a reality of public health that tends to considerably increase.

Cosmetic Doping—When Anabolic–Androgenic Steroids are not Enough

Doping is considered to be a major sports problem. This article describes a new threat and challenge to the sport of bodybuilding; the nonmedical use of a chemical in order to mimic muscle hypertrophy. Although muscle fillers are not new, being used for cosmetic purposes in medicine for a long time, the illegal use of muscle fillers has been increasing during the last few years and decades. The history of cosmetic doping, with particular attention to the Brazilian case, is discussed. Limitations are noted and future needed research is suggested.
