Changes in Body Composition from Stand Up Paddle Practice
Abstract
Introduction: The Stand Up Paddle (SUP) is an aquatic sport that has become popular all over the world over the past few years. Objective: To evaluate changes in body composition from the practice of SUP in two sedentary individuals. Methods: The research was composed by a Woman (25 years) and a man (26 years) sedentary. To assess the level of physical activity, IPAQ was used. Anticipating the beginning of the training, the anthropometric data of body mass and height were collected to calculate the body mass index (BMI). Skin folds were evaluated to obtain the percentage of fat (%BF). We also collected circumferential data and diameters of the femur and humerus biepicondilos to calculate the somatotype. The trainings were for 8 weeks. For the determination of the somatotype the method proposed by Heath and Carter (1967) was used. For the analysis of the data the ∆ of variation between pre and post test was performed. Results: The practice of SUP presented positive changes, improving the variables of the body composition of the evaluated ones. Conclusion: SUP can be used as a physical activity beneficial to health and quality of life.
