Abstract des Autors
Two hundred and seven male members of South Australian representative squads in 18 sports (24.2 +/- 4.7 years) were tested in order to provide descriptive data on relative body fat ( BF), develop a population specific equation and cross-validate existing equations. Measurements were taken of 10 circumferences, 2 diameters and 8 skinfolds; body density (BD) was measured by underwater weighing with the residual volume (RV) being determined by He dilution. The overall mean BD corresponded to 10.0 BF according to Siri (s=3.7; range= 1.3-23.0). The games players (n=129) registered an overall mean of 10.3 BF (s=3.7; range=2.2-23.0). There were significant differences for BF between the lacrosse players (X=12.3) and both the Australian Rules footballers (X=8.0) and track and field athletes (X=8.7). A stepwise multiple regression on 185 subjects yielded an equation, which had an R of 0.787.
