Resumen
Introducción: El objetivo de este estudio fue: 1) analizar las características antropométricas de las atletas de combate indias y 2) determinar y comparar el somatotipo específico del deporte (boxeo, judo y lucha libre) de las atletas de combate indias. Método: Noventa y nueve atletas de deportes de combate de nivel nacional (40 boxeadoras, 25 judocas y 34 luchadoras que competían regularmente en competencias nacionales y/o internacionales participaron en el estudio. Se realizaron mediciones antropométricas de masa corporal, estatura, 7 sitios de pliegues cutáneos, 3 perímetros y 2 diámetros. También se calculó el somatotipo para todos los sujetos. Todas las mediciones se analizaron estadísticamente mediante un análisis de comparación por pares y se estudiaron las diferencias entre los grupos. Resultados: Se hallaron diferencias significativas entre el boxeo y el judo para el valor medio del IMC. El análisis de comparación por pares reveló diferencias significativas en el componente mesomorfo entre el boxeo y el judo (p = 0,001; 95% IC: -1,83 – -0,40) y entre el boxeo y la lucha libre (p = 0,001; 95 % IC: -1.69 – -0.39); así como también en el componente ectomorfo entre el boxeo y el judo (p = 0.009; 95% CI: 0.16 – 1.35) y entre el boxeo y la lucha libre (p = 0.007; 95% CI: 0.17 – 1.25). Conclusión: Existen diferencias significativas en las características antropométricas al analizar el somatotipo de las atletas de combate indias, estas podrían atribuirse a las demandas específicas de cada deporte. Los practicantes y entrenadores deben considerar los programas de entrenamiento específicos del deporte teniendo en cuenta las características antropométricas y el somatotipo de las atletas que participan en el boxeo, el judo y la lucha libre.
