Resumen

Objetivo: El objetivo del presente estudio fue examinar el somatotipo de jugadores de fútbol de élite en función de las posiciones. Un total de 232 jugadores de fútbol masculino de élite (24,14 ± 5,15) participaron en este estudio. Métodos. Todas las mediciones antropométricas (10 variables) fueron realizadas por antropometristas de criterio de acuerdo con los estándares de la Sociedad Internacional para el Avance de la Cineantropometría (ISAK). Se utilizó el método de Heath-Carter Somatotyping para calcular los componentes de endomorfia, mesomorfia y ectomorfia. Resultados. La masa corporal y la altura medias fueron 76,29 ± 7,96 kg y 180,42 ± 6,82 cm, mientras que los valores medios del somatotipo fueron 1,89 ± 0,60 - 4,91 ± 0,80 - 2,65 ± 0,77. El somatotipo, la altura y la masa corporal de los porteros mostraron una diferencia significativa con el resto de posiciones. Conclusión. Los hallazgos de este estudio proporcionan datos de referencia valiosos para respaldar los programas de identificación de talentos del fútbol y el desarrollo de estrategias preparatorias más específicas para el fútbol.
