Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the intra and inter-observer reliability in the anthropometric measures of three expert observers through the technical error of measure (TEM). For this end, 21 healthy volunteers (25.7 ± 7.5 years) took part in the study, being 12 males and 9 females. The following aspects were analyzed: body weigh (kg), stature (cm), circumferences (cm) of relaxed right arm, abdomen, hip and thigh, and skinfold thickness (mm) of triceps, subescapular, supra-iliac, abdomen, thigh and calf medial. The measures were made in 2 different days, always in the afternoon, with the same equipments and in the same volunteers. The results pointed the occurrence of TEMs out of the recommended patterns, in both intra-observer and inter-observers variability. This fact showed the importance and need of specific training of the observers.Downloads
