Validation of anthropometric models in the estimation of appendicular lean soft tissue in young athletes

Abstract: -Magnetic resonance imaging and computer tomography are gold standards in the measurement of muscle tissue (MT), but are expensive. Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DXA) is also costly but safer and allows for the measurement of Appendicular Lean Soft Tissue (ALST), a strong predictor of MT. Alternatively, there are anthropometric models that predict the ALST of Portuguese athletes with low cost/risk that have not been validated in other populations. The aim of this study was to validate anthropometric Portug… Show more

“…Other body measurements were obtained from dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) by Hologic ® model Discovery CI/WI (software version 11.2, Bedford, MA, USA). Fat mass, fat-free mass, appendicular lean soft tissue (ALST) used to calculate the skeletal muscle index (SMI: ALST•height-2) were obtained, according to previously described procedures [33] .…”
