Correlación entre factores antropométricos y fuerza explosiva del tren inferior en jugadores jóvenes de baloncesto en Bogotá Colombia

Abstract

The objective of this study is to determine the correlation between the anthropometric factors (% fat, height, weight, BMI, somatotype and body composition) with respect to the explosive strength of the lower body in young basketball players from Bogotá, a group will be studied of 53 young men basketball players. The selected sample is made up of 53 young male players divided into three child categories (n = 13); pre-juvenile (n = 20) and juvenile (n = 20); that includes the age between 11 to 18 years. A total of 15 anthropometric measurements will be taken (height, weight, six folds, three diameters and two perimeters), in order to subsequently determine the Body Composition (fat mass, bone mass, muscle mass and residual mass) and the explosive strength of the lower body. It is measured with the battery of Bosco (1994), CMJ and ABK. For the statistical analysis, the RStudioVersion 3.0.3 program was used in order to determine the correlation of these in the players, where it was found that the somatotype is not homogeneous in the three categories analyzed, in addition to the contrast of the variables between the groups. yielded significant differences and a correlation was found between anthropometric factors and explosive strength of the lower body in the players.
