Abstract

The present study aimed to determine the correlations among the arm subcutaneous fat percentage (SFP), arm muscle cross-sectional area (MCSA), arm total cross-sectional area (TCSA), and the difference between core temperature and skin temperature in biceps and triceps areas, measured using thermography. This research focused on a cross-sectional study using a quantitative approach with participants consisting of young, untrained volunteers from the city of Curitiba, Brazil. The total sample size was 20 volunteers including 13 males and 7 females. A statistical correlation between MSCA and core and skin Δ temperature for the right and left biceps (r = -0.487, p = 0.030 / r = -0.518, p = 0.019), and also between TCSA core and skin Δ temperature for the right and left biceps (r = -0.513, p = 0.021 / r = -0.554, p = 0.011) was identified. These results confirmed that arm muscle cross-sectional area influenced skin temperature at the biceps region. This result can also be generalized to other areas of the skin, which show similar characteristics to the studied area.
