Resumo: | There is limited information on anthropometric variables of male gymnasts. Kineanthropometry investigates human body shape, composition and proportionality, related to function. It is a useful tool in sport medicine, as it allows for the understanding of morphological characteristics of subjects. The purpose of this study was to describe the anthropometric profi le of elite male gymnasts – members of the national Argentinean team. The sample included 25 gymnasts, older than 18 years and divided into two categories – junior and senior. They were measured in 43 anthropometric variables: body mass, stature, sitting height, arm span, lengths, breadths, girths and skinfolds. The procedures followed the International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry guidelines. Based on the measures, Heath and Carter’s somatotype, Kerr´s mass-fractioning-method of body composition and proportionality applying Ross’ Phantom-strategy were computed. Body structure of Argentinean gymnasts was composed by 54 % of muscle mass and 17.5 % of fat mass. The results showed that Argentinean gymnasts have similar biotype characteristics to other international elite gymnasts. However, they tend to be smaller, heavier and with wider girths of chest, waist, thigh and calf. Therefore it is supposed that these gymnasts are in biomechanical disadvantage, which in turn interferes with performance in competitive events. |

A Cineantropometría que estuda a forma, composiçao corporal e a proporcionalidade do corpo humano em relação a sua função é uma ferramenta idonea para ser utilizada em medicina do esporte, permitindo conhecer as características morfológicas dos sujeitos. Este estudo tem como propósito descrever as variáveis antropométricas dos ginastas masculinos da seleção nacional da Argentina. A amostra foi de 25 ginastas masculinos, maiores de 18 anos, pertencentes às categorias juvenil e sênior. Foram estudadas 43 variáveis antropométricas: peso, alturas, comprimentos, diâmetros ósseos, perímetros corporais e dobras cutâneas. O somatotipo foi calculado de acordo com o método antropométrico de Heath-Carter. A composicão corporal segundo a tática de fracionamento de massas de Kerr e foi analisada a proporcionalidade através da estratégia Phantom de Ross. Os procedimentos antropométricos usados foram os recomendados pela ISAK. Na composição corporal foi estimada uma massa muscular de 54% e uma massa de gordura de 17,5%. Os resultados indicam que os ginastas argentinos possuem um biotipo de características similares ao resto dos ginastas de nível internacional. Porém, costumam ser mais baixos, com maior peso corporal e com os perímetros de tórax, cintura, coxa e panturrilha mais elevados. Isto nos tenderia a supor que estes ginastas têm uma desvantagem biomecânica que prejudica a performance nos eventos de ginástica artística desportiva.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina.
