Resumen

Introducción: Dragon Boating es un deporte acuático con remo que se originó en China hace más de 2000 años. Las carreras de Dragon Boat eran parte de la cultura tradicional china. Las carreras de Dragon Boat se han convertido en un deporte popular popular en todo el mund. Métodos: Se midieron las características físicas y la composición corporal de 29 remeros femeninos y 36 masculinos del equipo nacional indio Dragon Boat que participaron en el 16.º Campeonato Mundial de Dragon Boat Racing IDBF 2023 en Pattaya, Tailandia, antes de su participación en un campo de entrenamiento nacional en Calcuta. , India. Para la somatotipificación se siguió el método de Heath-Carter (1967). Se utilizó la ecuación de Durnin y Womersley (1974) para calcular la composición corporal y la ecuación de Siri  (1956) para calcular el porcentaje de grasa. Resultados: La edad promedio, la altura, el peso, el % de grasa y el somatotipo de los palistas masculinos de Dragon Boat fueron 26,6 (± 6,9), 170,1 (± 5,2), 68,1 (± 9,1), 16,9 %, y 3,4 (± 1,4) -5,0 (± 0,9)-2,1(±1,0) respectivamente, mientras que los de las remeras femeninas de Dragon Boat fueron 21,9(±4,5), 162,0(±6,5), 58,9(±12,8), 29,7(±4,9) y 5,6(±1,5)-3,5( ±1,2)-2,4(±1,4) respectivamente. Conclusión: Los palistas femeninos del Indian National Dragon Boat Racing eran endomórficos con baja musculatura en promedio, mientras que los palistas masculinos del Dragon Boat Racing eran mesomorfos con más adiposidad en promedio.
