  • Conference paper

XXVI Brazilian Congress on Biomedical Engineering

Part of the book series: IFMBE Proceedings ((IFMBE,volume 70/1))

Abstract

In this study, 33 female athletes from the Basketball, Futsal, Handball and Volleyball teams from Federal University of Uberlandia (UFU) participated, from which 13 athletes were from the Futsal team, 10 athletes were from the Handball team, 6 athletes were from the Basketball team and 4 athletes were from the Volleyball team. Anthropometric measurements were collected at the Biomechanics Laboratory from the Physical Education Faculty (FAEFI) from the Federal University of Uberlandia. After analysis, the results show that body composition is a factor that determines the possibilities to a successful performance, considering each sports modality has its own specificities. Additionally, each function performed by the athlete has its own specificities to provide good performances. A big part of the athletes, among all analysed modalities, is overweight, which compromises the athletes’ performances.
