Abstract
Introduction: The objective of this study was to determine the anthropometric measures of Muay Thai competitors in Cali, Colombia, to have a comprehensive analysis of the variables of this nature that may be affecting the sport's performance. Methods: An observational, quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional design was carried out, where the anthropometric measures of 16 Muay Thai competitors were evaluated, belonging to 4 mixed martial arts academies located in the city of Cali, Colombia. The 43 anthropometric measures accepted in the complete ISAK profile were taken by an ISAK certified level 2 anthropometrist. Results: The results showed that the athletes had an average adipose mass of 23% with an IMO of 4.0 and a predominantly mesomorphic somatotype. In addition, significant differences were found between the academies where the athletes came from, in terms of their body weight and body fat percentage. Conclusion: This study allowed for the identification of anthropometric measures of Muay Thai athletes in Cali, which can be of great help to coaches and athletes in planning their training and in making decisions regarding weight loss strategies before competitions. Additionally, the results suggest that membership in different academies may have an impact on the anthropometric characteristics of athletes, which may be important in the selection and recruitment of new talent.
