Abstract

The objective of this study was to compare and verify the possibility of association between body satisfaction (IC), classifications nutritional status (EN) and body fat (BF) in young basketball players male. 63 teens aged 10 to 16 years participated in the survey. The IC was evaluated by through the Body Shape Questionnaire. We collected body mass, height and skinfolds to classification the EN (kg / m²) and measure BF, respectively. ANCOVA and chi-square tests were performed using SPSS 17.0. It was identified statistically significant differences (p < 0.05) between the IC ratings EN and BF. A significant association (p < 0.05) between IC and EN was found as well as between IC and BF (p < 0.05). The results confirmed the association of IC and differences with EN and BF on basketball.
