Resumen

Introducción: La composición corporal es un determinante crítico del rendimiento en deportes sensibles al peso como el boxeo, influyendo en la fuerza, la resistencia y el cumplimiento de los requisitos de la categoría de peso. Este estudio examina los parámetros de composición corporal entre boxeadoras nacionales juveniles y junior en todas las categorías de peso. Métodos: Un total de 54 atletas, de 15 a 18 años de edad, se clasificaron en tres categorías de peso: peso ligero (46-54 kg), peso medio (57-66 kg) y peso pesado (70-80+ kg). Los parámetros de composición corporal, incluida la masa grasa, la masa libre de grasa, la masa muscular esquelética, la hidratación y la tasa metabólica basal, se evaluaron utilizando un dispositivo BIA multifrecuencia. Se emplearon análisis estadísticos, como ANOVA y correlación de Pearson, para examinar las diferencias y relaciones entre las variables. Resultados: Los boxeadores más pesados ​​tenían una masa grasa significativamente mayor (22,81 ± 6,20 kg), masa muscular esquelética (29,43 ± 2,51 kg) y tasa metabólica basal (1506,06 ± 94,98 kcal/día) en comparación con los boxeadores más ligeros (p < 0,001). Sin embargo, el porcentaje de masa muscular esquelética disminuyó con la categoría de peso, lo que refleja un aumento relativo de la adiposidad. Los niveles de hidratación se correlacionaron positivamente con la masa muscular esquelética (r=0,977) e inversamente con la masa grasa (r=-1,000). El análisis segmentario reveló que los boxeadores más pesados ​​tenían una masa magra significativamente mayor en el tronco (23,87 ± 1,79 kg) y las extremidades, junto con una mayor acumulación de grasa en el tronco (11,84 ± 3,27 kg). En particular, las métricas de gasto energético se alinearon con la composición corporal, lo que destaca el aumento de las demandas en las categorías más pesadas. Conclusión: Las diferencias en la composición corporal entre las distintas categorías de peso reflejan las distintas exigencias físicas de cada categoría. Los boxeadores más pesados ​​muestran una mayor masa muscular y grasa absoluta, pero una menor masa muscular relativa.
