GONZALEZ-AGUERO, Alejandro et al. Inter-methods agreement for the assessment of percentage of body fat between two laboratory methods in male adolescent cyclists. []. , 28, 4, pp.1049-1052. ISSN 1699-5198.  https://dx.doi.org/10.3305/nh.2013.28.4.6502.

^len^aObjective: To examine inter-methods agreement between dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and air displacement plethysmography (ADP) in male adolescent cyclists for assessing percentage of body fat (PBF). Methods: PBF of 24 male adolescent cyclists was assessed by DXA and ADP. Agreement between ADP and DXA was determined according to a Bland-Altman plot; validity and lack of agreement was assessed by calculating inter-methods difference. The limits of agreement and differences between methods were also calculated by paired t-tests. Heteroscedasticity was also examined. Results: The values obtained by DXA were higher than those obtained by ADP, and the graph presented heteroscedasticity (both p < 0.05; r = 0.74). Conclusion: DXA and ADP methods were not comparable in terms of PBF assessment in our sample of male adolescent cyclists; it needs to be taken into account when evaluating longitudinal changes in this determined population.^les^aObjetivo: Examinar la validez inter-métodos entre la absorciometría rayos X (DXA) y la pletismografía por desplazamiento de aire (PDA) en ciclistas varones adolescentes, para la evaluación del porcentaje de grasa corporal. Métodos: Se evaluó el porcentaje de grasa corporal de 24 ciclistas varones adolescentes mediante DXA y PDA. La validez inter-métodos se determinó mediante un gráfico de Bland-Altman; se calculó la diferencia inter-método y los límites de concordancia mediante test t de Student. Se examinó también la heteroscedasticidad ente ambos métodos. Resultados: Los valores de porcentaje de grasa corporal obtenidos por el DXA fueron más elevados que los obtenidos por PDA, y el gráfico presentó heteroscedasticidad (ambos p < 0,05; r = 0,74). Conclusión: El DXA y la PDA no son métodos comparables para la evaluación del porcentaje de grasa en nuestra muestra de ciclistas varones adolescentes; esto debería ser tenido en cuenta a la hora de evaluar cambios longitudinales en esta determinada población.
