| Popis: | The objective of this paper was to determine the anthropometric profile of female students of the Region of Araucanía, Chile, and its relationship with BMI (IMCA) and body image (IC). Participants included 25 girls ages 10 to 19 (mean = 16.39 ± 2.81) that practice rugby sevens on a regular and competitive basis. For methodological purposes, an anthropometric assessment was conducted using the International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry protocols (ISAK, 2017), and an appreciation of CI perception was made by observing a series of body images following the Montero, Morales, & Carbajal protocol (2004). Results showed that the students’ body composition (CC) was high in adipose tissue (33.9%) and their muscle percentage was 39%. Regarding the anthropometric classification, it can be noted that participants show endo-mesomorph characteristics and that their perceived body image differed from the actual BMI levels, not showing a statistically significant relationship between the body composition, the somatotype and the perceived image. |
