Résumé:
Background: Body composition is one of the primary factor
influence athlete’s performance. Whereas several studies have
reported that higher BMI is associated with reduced levels of
physical performance, in addition, other results demonstrated that
BMI is an accurate best tool to use as an indicator of body fatness
in the general population where the relationship between BMI and
physical performance has not been clarified.
Methods: For the purpose, our sample was independent candidates
of physical education bachelor tests for the academic year 2014-
2015. Representatives in 100 womanly genders, tested based on the
Algerian Bachelor sports tests BPEPT (60 meter (sec) - 800 meter
(min) - VJ (cm)) and anthropometric parameter weight (scales) vs.
Height (Stadiometer) to calculate BMI stadiometer, their homogeneity
based on sex (female), average age 19 ± 2.02 years and BMI
Categories (normal weight) [1,2], divided into three groups based on
their differences in BMI percentage ratio as Protocol of the current
study (group 1 ≈ 22 to 22.99% - group 2 ≈ 23 to 23.99% - group 3 ≈ 24
to 24.99% kg/m2).
Results: Founded on the database tests and analysis, statistics
practised, we confirm:
A) BMI is not a pure index of body composition in the opposite of
the BMI percentage ratio, which is strong negatively, associated
with athlete’s performance the case of the current study.
B) The difference between the independent candidate (BPEPT)
returns to BMI percentage ratio as excess physical performance
demands observed among over BMI% ratio.
Conclusion: Supported by the differences acquired by the research
team. Our subject confirms that an optimal competitive body weight
is relative to the body fat. While BMI does not distinguish lean body
mass, which allows us to conclude that less BMI percentage ratio
are the most appropriate profiles and conditions to realise optimal
performance during the exams physical education bachelor tests
(BPEPT).
