(1982), Thorland et al. (1983 e 1984) and Gaya et al. (1997). For such, were measured the anthorpometric variables height (EST), weight (MC), 4 skinfolds (DC), 3 bone diameters (DO) and 2 circumferences (PER), beside the age. The sample were 50 young female (age x =15,8±0,9 years; height x =167,07±6,2 cm and e weight x = 57,97±7kg), being 27 volleyball player and 23 basketball players. To stimate corporal density (D) the equation proposed by Thorland et al (1984) was used and the fat percent (%G) was obtained by the Lohman (1986) equation. The %G of the other studies was recalculated by the Lohman (1986) equation for comparison with this study. To analyze the data the descriptive statistics was used, beside the “t” test of student for independent group and “t” test for one mean (p
