ABSTRACT

Few studies have examined the relationship between anthropometric measures and drive for muscularity. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between drive for muscularity and six anthropometric indicators. Sixtytwo bodybuilders and 81 sedentary men answered the Drive for Muscularity Scale (DMS), and also six anthropometric indicators were measured (body mass index, adiposity, and four indexes assessing muscularity). There were statistically significant differences between groups in anthropometric indicators except for body mass index and waist circumference. Similarly, differences were observed in the three subscales and total score of the DMS. Regression analysis revealed that the arm circumference, fat percentage and body mass index scores predicted scores on the DMS and its subscales.
