Resumen

Introducción: existe una investigación limitada sobre las características antropométricas y los somatotipos de los boxeadores masculinos indios de élite, lo que motiva este estudio para llenar el vacío y proporcionar información sobre las variaciones entre las categorías de peso para la identificación de talentos y la mejora del rendimiento en el boxeo indio. El estudio tuvo como objetivo examinar las variaciones en las características antropométricas y los somatotipos de los boxeadores indios de élite en tres categorías de peso diferentes: boxeadores de peso ligero (< 60 kg), boxeadores de peso medio (61-74 kg) y boxeadores de peso pesado (> 75 kg). Métodos: se recopilaron datos de 35 boxeadores indios de élite con rangos de edad de 19 a 29 años en NSNIS, Patiala durante el campamento nacional de boxeo 2021. Las variables antropométricas se midieron siguiendo los métodos estandarizados de la Sociedad Internacional para el Avance de la Cineantropometría (ISAK), Heath y la ecuación de somatotipo de Carter se utilizaron para el cálculo del somatotipo. Resultados: La altura, el peso y el somatotipo medios de los boxeadores masculinos indios de élite fueron 175,2 ± 8,4, 69 ± 15,3 y 2,3 ± 1,0 – 4,9 ± 0,9 – 2,9 ± 1,1 respectivamente. Conclusiones: Los boxeadores de peso ligero son mesomorfos ectomorfos, los boxeadores de peso medio son mesomorfos equilibrados y los boxeadores de peso pesado son mesomorfos endomórficos con mayor talla e IMC.
