Abstract

The Flag Football holds many similarities to rugby, but with less contact and use of flag that makes stop play. The objective was to assess the body composition of 24 players flag football with different anthropometric equations. It was observed that the proposed two equations have values of fat percentage statistically significant and could not be used as equivalents. For future developments would be essential to assess the body composition with the use of indirect method.
