Method: Eighty-eight swimmers (45 boys, 43 girls) participated in this study. Following the recommendations of the International Society of the Advancement of Kinanthropometry, biceps, triceps, subscapular, iliac-crest, supraspinale, front-thigh, and medial calf skinfold thicknesses were measured. Waist, hip, midthigh, calf, relaxed arm, and arm flexed and tensed girths were also registered. BF% was measured with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) to obtain the reference value. Existing anthropometric equations were applied, and BF% results obtained from anthropometric equations were compared to DXA BF% results with the modified Bland-Altman. Results: The Flavel, Durnin-Rahaman-Siri, and Durnin-Rahaman-Brozek were the only equations that did not demonstrate statistically significant differences when compared with DXA. Conclusion: The present study showed that the best anthropometric equation from existing literature to estimate BF% in swimmers is that proposed by Durnin-Rahaman (independently of applying the Siri or Brozek equation). info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MEC/AP-2012-02854 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MEC/FPU13-02111 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/BES-2012-051888 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/DEP2011-29093 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 2.268 2017 PSYCHOLOGY 38 / 78 = 0.487 2017 Q2 T2 HOSPITALITY, LEISURE, SPORT & TOURISM 19 / 50 = 0.38 2017 Q2 T2 PSYCHOLOGY, APPLIED 30 / 82 = 0.366 2017 Q2 T2 SPORT SCIENCES 32 / 81 = 0.395 2017 Q2 T2 0.77 2017 Medicine (miscellaneous) 2017 Q2 Nephrology 2017 Q2 Sports Science 2017 Q2 Physical Therapy, Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation 2017 Q2 Orthopedics and Sports Medicine 2017 Q2 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion (orcid)0000-0002-0520-1640 Gómez-Bruton, Alejandro (orcid)0000-0001-8500-1667 Matute-Llorente, Ángel.
