Resumen

Introducción: Los jugadores de Kabaddi exhiben diversas composiciones corporales que varían según la posición de juego. Comprender estos rasgos proporciona información valiosa sobre sus perfiles físicos y su potencial de rendimiento. El estudio tuvo como objetivo examinar las características antropométricas y los somatotipos de los jugadores profesionales de élite de Kabaddi indios y evaluar las diferencias en los rasgos antropométricos entre los defensores y los raiders. Métodos: Veinte jugadores de élite masculinos de Kabaddi (raiders n = 9 y defensores n = 11) parte del equipo de pretemporada de los Haryana Steelers durante la Temporada X, participaron en el estudio. Las mediciones antropométricas incluyeron masa corporal, estatura, 8 sitios de pliegues cutáneos, 3 perímetros y 2 anchos. Se calcularon los somatotipos, el porcentaje de grasa corporal, la masa grasa y la masa corporal magra para cada participante. Se utilizaron estadísticas descriptivas para estimar el estado funcional básico de los atletas. Se utilizó la prueba t de muestras independientes para probar las diferencias significativas entre los raiders y los defensores. Resultados: Se encontraron diferencias significativas entre los raiders y los defensores en siete de las treinta y seis variables. Los Raiders tuvieron valores medios más altos para la altura [t (18) = 2,71, p = 0,01], longitud de pierna [t (18) = 2,20, p = 0,04], relación altura-peso [t (18) = 2,79, p = 0,01] y componente ectomorfo [t (18) = 2,50, p = 0,02]. Por el contrario, los defensores tuvieron valores significativamente más altos para los pliegues cutáneos supraespinales [t (18) = -2,17, p = 0,04], la relación entre la extensión del brazo y la altura [t (18) = -2,53, p = 0,02] y el componente mesomorfo [t (18) = -2,33, p = 0,03]. Los intervalos de confianza del 95% para estas diferencias mostraron una variabilidad sustancial entre los parámetros examinados. Conclusión: El estudio revela diferencias antropométricas y somatotípicas entre los atacantes y los defensores en los jugadores de élite de Kabaddi indio, lo que enfatiza la necesidad de programas de entrenamiento específicos para cada posición. Estos hallazgos brindan información valiosa sobre los atributos físicos asociados con cada posición, lo que ayuda a los entrenadores a optimizar el desarrollo de los jugadores y la asignación de posiciones, al tiempo que enfatiza la importancia de la variabilidad individual en los programas de entrenamiento.
