“…In the variables of body composition, the literature has reported values similar to those found in our study in what corresponds to the percentage of body fat 21.4% vs 21.2% (Millet & Bentley, 2004) and 21.4% vs 19.8%. Body mass, mass index, and lower body fat are associated with shorter times in the Ironman (Canda et al, 2014). When comparing the results obtained in an Olympic triathlete with the results obtained in the present study, a sum of 6 folds greater in our athlete (48 mm vs 34 mm) can be appreciated, this can be conditioned by the age of our athlete and the level of experience (Cejuela & Sellés-Pérez, 2022).…”

The objective of this study was to describe the anthropometric profile, cardiorespiratory capacity and lung function in a high-performance Chilean triathlete ranked first in the national ranking. For this, the body composition profile proposed by Kerr, the somatotype according to Carter and Heath, lung volumes with spirometry according to the criteria of the ATS/ERS, the maximum dynamic inspiratory strength (S-index), the maximum inspiratory flow (FMI) and the maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max) with a treadmill cardiopulmonary exercise test were evaluated. The results showed 50.30% (30.28 kg) of muscle tissue, 21.46% (12.92 kg) of adipose tissue, a musculoskeletal index of 4.4, and a balanced mesomorphic somatotype (ENDO 2.0 -MESO 5.1 -ECTO 2.3). The VO2max was 77 ml/kg/min, the S-Index was 189 cmH2O, the FIM was 10.1 l/sec, the FEV1 was 4.08 l, maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV) was 153 l and a maximum expiratory flow (FEM) of 584 l. In conclusion, the triathlete has a high level of muscle tissue and optimal percentage of subcutaneous body fat with a balanced physical form towards the muscle component. An outstanding cardiorespiratory capacity, inspiratory strength and lung function represents a great adaptation to the endurance tests that make up triathlon, especially swimming on inspiratory strength. Morphofunctional changes associated with the high-performance sports discipline are observed.

Introducción: Las características antropométricas de los triatletas son consideradas un importante factor condicionante del rendimiento deportivo. El objetivo del presente estudio fue caracterizar el perfil antropométrico de un grupo de triatletas amateur chilenos participantes de la prueba de medio Ironman de Pucón del año 2014 según categoría. Material y Métodos:Fueron evaluados 37 triatletas varones con un promedio de edad de 29,0 años y un peso de 74,3kg. Se midieron 25 variables antropométricas. Se calculó la composición corporal en cinco componentes y el somatotipo. Se utilizó estadística descriptiva para la caracterización de los triatletas amateur chilenos.Resultados: Los resultados del fraccionamiento muestran valores medios (desviación estándar) de masa adiposa 23,9% (3,5), masa muscular 48,0% (3,4), masa residual 11,6% (8,0), masa ósea 11,3% (1,3) y masa piel 5,2% (0,3). También se observan diferencias significativas en la masa piel entre las categorías ≤24 años y ≥35 años, y presencia de un menor porcentaje de masa adiposa y mayor masa muscular en el grupo 25-34 años. En el somatotipo se presenta una dominancia meso-endomorfica, con diferencias significativas en el componente endomórfico, mayor en ≥35 años, y ectomórfico, mayor en ≤24 años.Conclusiones: Las características morfológicas de los triatletas amateur chilenos no se asemejan a la de triatletas profesionales, observándose elevados porcentajes de masa adiposa, sumatoria de 6 pliegues y endomorfía; bajo nivel de masa muscular y ósea y del componente ectomórfico, lo cual pudiese afectar su rendimiento en este tipo de pruebas.

“…Las múltiples capacidades físicas y destrezas técnicas requeridas en este deporte, sumado a la escasa literatura mundial y latinoamericana de las características antropométricas y morfológicas de esta población (Canda et al, 2014), hacen importante describir las variables antropométricas de estos atletas con el fin de establecer datos normativos y potenciar el desempeño de los deportistas en su categoría de competencia, permitiendo ubicarlos en una categoría ideal para llevar al deportista a un nivel más optimo (Carter, 1982;Cabañas & Esparza-Ros , 2009).…”

Introduction: Finding a balance between physical abilities in mixed martial arts (MMA) is one of the greatest challenges for this discipline; their ignorance can lead to inappropriate practices for the athlete's entry into an ideal weight category, making it necessary to carry out an anthropometric description to provide reference data that allow the classification and interpretation of the athletes' anthropometric indicators. Anthropometrically characterize the athletes (MMA) of the elite group of athletes from the city of Medellín, to determine the body composition by 2 and 5 components and the somatotype. Methods: A descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out, 22 athletes were evaluated, with an average age of 26.5 ± 3.5 years, and analysis of the anthropometric variables was made to determine the body composition. Results: In the two-compartment model, the equations of Jackson Pollock and Yuhasz had the lowest average fat in both men: 9,00 ± 3,33% and 8,47 ± 1,69% respectively, and in women: 17.72 ± 6.68%, 12.20 ± 3.67%. The proportion of adipose tissue was calculated with the five-component method, it was converted into fat weight, being lower by weight category in relation to the bicompartmental method, and the somatotype was evaluated under the Heath-Carter model. Conclusion: The athletes evaluated in this study have a lean mass and body fat very similar to those of Brazilians, the 5-component model is a timely methodology to generate reference data that allows classifying the athlete and also optimizing their somatotype.
