Resumen

Introducción: La composición corporal y las características somatotípicas se encuentran entre los factores que afectan el rendimiento en jinetes aprendices. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar las diferencias entre jinetes aprendices con diferentes medidas antropométricas y perfiles somatotípicos. Métodos: Se incluyeron en el estudio 46 jinetes aprendices varones del Jockey Club de Turquía, quienes se formaban en el Centro de Formación de Aprendices Ekrem Kurt. La edad media del grupo de estudio fue de 16,39 ± 1,07 años, y los estudiantes fueron evaluados en dos grupos: estudiantes de 1.er y 2.º grado. Se tomaron medidas antropométricas, se determinó la composición corporal y se calcularon los perfiles somatotípicos mediante el método de Heath-Carter. Se realizaron comparaciones pareadas de datos cuantitativos con distribución no normal mediante la prueba U de Mann-Whitney. La significación estadística se estableció en p < 0,05. Además, se analizaron los tamaños del efecto utilizando la clasificación del tamaño del efecto (ES) de la d de Cohen para las comparaciones pareadas. Resultados: El estudio determinó el componente endomórfico de los jinetes aprendices como 2,32 ± 1,55, el componente mesomórfico como 3,54 ± 1,00 y el componente ectomórfico como 4,45 ± 1,05. Además, no se encontró diferencia significativa entre los componentes endomórfico, ectomórfico y mesomórfico en la comparación entre los grupos (p>0,05). Además, de acuerdo con los resultados de las mediciones de la composición corporal, la masa magra corporal (kg) de los estudiantes de 2º grado fue mayor (p=0,001). Conclusiones: Los jinetes aprendices son delgados y esbeltos en términos de tipo de cuerpo, lo que explica el predominio del componente ectomorfico, que se caracteriza por baja grasa y musculatura moderada. Los somatotipos, considerados entre los componentes importantes del rendimiento en los atletas, se utilizan con frecuencia en la selección de talentos, especialmente en niños y adolescentes atletas. Se necesitan más estudios para determinar la idoneidad física de los atletas adolescentes para la profesión de jockey.
