Resumen

Introducción: El Taekwondo se ha convertido en un deporte olímpico, lo que significa que es necesario un conocimiento profundo de las características de los principales atletas y competidores de Taekwondo. Este estudio investigó las medidas antropométricas fundamentales de los atletas de Taekwondo de alto nivel, con especial atención a las disparidades entre géneros. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar y contrastar los atributos físicos de los atletas de élite de Taekwondo, examinando específicamente las diferencias entre hombres y mujeres. Métodos: En este estudio participó un grupo de 28 atletas de Taekwondo altamente calificados, compuesto por 14 cadetes femeninos y 14 masculinos. Resultados: Los resultados mostraron una diferencia significativa entre las variables antropométricas de los competidores masculinos y femeninos, más notablemente en el grosor de los pliegues cutáneos y la proporción de tejido graso (p≤ 0,01). Conclusión: En consecuencia, estos datos pueden ayudar a los especialistas en taekwondo en las primeras etapas de selección, especialmente cuando los exámenes avanzados son imposibles. Estudios adicionales que perfilen a este grupo de respondedores deberían incluir más características para ayudar a los profesionales a reconocer talentos y crear objetivos en el programa de capacitación.
