The present work has for objective to relate the results gotten for 331 volunteers who if had submitted to the classification of its percentage of corporal fat (PGC) through the protocol of Pollock 7 folds and its index of corporal mass (IMC) in the intention to investigate possible relations between these protocols. Since as much the IMC how much the PGC after classified represents an index of reference to the obesity, he was waited that the results got one high degree of correlation, what it cannot be noticed with only ±0,59 of correlation of the classifications, fact this that can have relation with the use the corporal all up weight for the IMC, being able to exist exactly with one IMC individuals 1 Bacharel em treinamento esportivo pela Faculdade de Educação Física da Universidade Estadual de Campinas FEF/UNICAMP 2 Faculdade de Educação Física da Universidade Estadual de Campinas.
