Somotype And Dermatoglyphics In High Performance Athletes Of Brasilian Volleyball, Futsal, Basketball And Handball Adult Teams.

Introduction
Dermathoglyphics is a genethical mark (1). In the sportive area studies it have been demonstrated that Delta index (D10)
superior to 13,1 (big levels of coordination ) and the sum of total lines quantity (SQTL) superior to 136 ( increase of
resistance) and the dimish of line number to the increase of strenght and potency levels (1) (4). The purpose of this study is
centred in the somathotypical and dermathoglyphical profiles identification in high income of Brasilian male adult
volleyball, footsal, basketball and handball and of adult female handball.

Methods
It is a Descriptive study whith an ex-post facto typoly. Volleyball Brasiliam Male Team/ 2000 n=22; National Male
League/ 2001 n=66; Pan-American Male Basketball Team / 2003 n=12; Pan-American Female Handball / 2003, n=20.
Dermathoglyphics Protocol(2) and somatotype, of Heath & Carter (3). Pattern-deviation Statistcs Media. The 196/96
article of human been in the experiments utilization.

Results
Digital Prescriptions : Volleyball - LW (40,9%), WL (27,3%), 10L (22,7%) e ALW (9,1%); Futsal - LW (40,9%), WL
(27,3%), 10L (19,7%), 10W (1,5%) e ALW (3,0%); Basketball - LW (66,7%), WL (16,7%), ALW (8,3%) e AL
(8,3%); Handball - LW (35%), AL (30%), WL (15%), 10L (10%) e ALW (10%). Somathotype: Volleyball - Mesoectomorphical;
Futsal - Meso-endomorphycal; Basketball - Meso-ectomorphycal and female handball - Adjusted
Mesomorphe.

Discussion/Conclusions
Volleyball and Futsal D10, predisposition and coordination, primordial to this kind of athlete; Futsal SQTL,
predisposition to resistance and speed resistance; Volleyball and basketball, low resistance. Basketball D10,
predisposition and coordination in a lower landing and for handball, the lower caractheristics for high income for
coletive modalities. Digital prescriptions indicates: Volleyball - speed and movement potency; Futsal - resistance and
speed resistance; Basketball - spedd resistance and potency and for handball - speed and movement potency. The
strenght and stature somathotypes are for volleyball and basketball, footsal, adjusted to the modality of handball and
high pecto- muscular It is suggested separated studies by group, according to the position and a correlative
methodology can be utilizable for more elucidations and inferences to this and another modalities.
