Description
Carlos Abraham Herrera-Amante and colleagues set out, in a 2026 cross-sectional study, to build a body fat equation made for elite Mexican women footballers and check it against the reference DXA scan. Precise body composition guides training and nutrition at the top level, but DXA machines are rarely at hand, and existing skinfold equations were never validated on this population.
Twenty-seven players from the Mexican Women's National Team were measured during a training camp with DXA and standardized anthropometry. The team derived a regression equation from the sum of eight skinfolds and waist girth. They checked its statistical assumptions, and judged it by error measures and agreement analysis against DXA. Leave-one-out cross-validation tested the equation internally. Six historical equations were refitted to the same players so their predictor structures could be compared on equal footing.
