Evaluation of BMI Related to Flexibility and Strength of not Trained for Women
Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the BMI comparing the results with a test of strength and flexibility. Established itself as a methodological proposal a case study, participated 39 female women (n:39), aged between 18 and 50 years (average de 32.25±8.33), students of Pedagogy College of the City of Santo André - SP, Brazil, not physically active. According to the results, the group presents it with normal BMI index value of 24.60 (±5.69), combined with flexibility values of 26.6 cm (±8.18) and strength of manual pressure on 31.18 Kg/f (±5.04). We conclude that the reference by BMI, the group showed good results of manual pressure, and were classified as excellent in physical flexibility and there was no correlation between these physical abilities in not trained women.References
