Corporal Composition

Our anthropometric evaluation considered body weight (BW, kg) and height (cm) using a scale balance (SECA model 767) to calculate body mass index (BMI, BMI = kg/m²). Waist circumference (WC, cm) was measured using inextensible metric tape (SECA model 201). Body fat mass was determined by measuring four skinfolds: bicipital, tricipital, subscapular, and suprailiac (Lange skinfold, Cambridge, Maryland) percentage of adipose (Fatty body, %) was calculated using the protocol described by Durnin and Womersley (1974); and, finally, we calculated fat mass (FM, kg) as FM = (BW*FB)/100 and lean body mass (LBM, kg) as LBM = BW − FM. All anthropometrical measurements were made by the same evaluator. Table 1 shows the classifications of cardiovascular risk concerning BMI, WC, body fat (%), and LBM (kg; Bray, 1998; Jensen et al., 2013; Macek et al., 2020). After evaluation of corporal composition, we measured oxygen saturation (SpO2, %) and heart rate (HR, bpm) by pulse oximetry (model 7500FO Nonin) and systolic arterial pressure (SAP) and diastolic arterial pressure (DAP) using a cardiorespiratory monitor (model BM3, Bionet).
