Resumen

Introducción: El somatotipo, como una técnica de evaluación de los tipos de cuerpo, se ha estudiado para la selección de deportistas competentes basándose en la correlación del rendimiento deportivo con el físico humano "ideal". Este estudio tuvo como objetivo describir las diferencias antropométricas y somatotípicas entre los futbolistas nigerianos en diferentes niveles de juego. Métodos: Se seleccionó una muestra total de 64 sujetos que comprendía 30 futbolistas profesionales y 34 futbolistas amateurs de entre 19 y 28 años. Se midieron diez variables antropométricas que consistieron en; altura, peso, dos perímetros, dos anchos óseos y cuatro pliegues cutáneos. Se utilizó el método antropométrico de Heath y Carter. Se realizaron estadísticas descriptivas e inferenciales sobre los datos obtenidos utilizando el paquete de software SPSS IBM, versión 21. Resultados: Los resultados mostraron que el somatotipo medio de los futbolistas profesionales fue de 2,5- 4,2- 3,5, mientras que el de los futbolistas amateurs fue de 2,5- 4,2- 3,5. 2,7- 2,7- 4,2, observándose categorías somatotípicas dominantes como mesomorfo equilibrado y ectomorfo equilibrado respectivamente. La altura, el peso, el IMC, la ectomorfia y la mesomorfia fueron significativamente diferentes entre los dos grupos de niveles de juego (p<0,05). Sin embargo, la posición de juego no mostró variación somatotípica en ambos niveles de juego. Conclusiones: El resultado del estudio mostró que existía variación somatotípica entre diferentes niveles de juego para los futbolistas nigerianos.
