Características antropométricas, de fuerza explosiva y resistencia en ciclistas de pista colombianos

Abstract

The main objective of this study was to evaluate some physical variables such as anthropometry and physical condition variables of a group of 32 male track cyclists between 20 and 25 years of age. All cyclists were subjected to an anthropometric assessment, measures such as folds, diameters and perimeters were taken, for the taking of physical variables of the lower body, three field tests were carried out, which were two jump tests that are the Squat Jump and the CounterMovement Jump, the Wingate Test, and a 300m bike speed test. Also, in the CMJ explosive jump test, results of time of flight were 0.48s and height of 28.10cm. To finish the tests with the Squat Jump, the result was shown in flight time with 0.46s and height with 26.28cm, these being all the averages collected. Regarding the Wingate Test, such as power peak at ±589.72 w, average power at ±507.17 w, fatigue index at ±8.48 w/s, anaerobic power at ±10.54 w/kg and anaerobic capacity in ±9.10w/kg. In this study, the anthropometry, the physical condition variables of the lower limbs and the somatotype classification of track cyclists are highlighted. The reference that is shown about anthropometry, apart from independent measurements such as body size and weight, there is a connection with the measurements of the folds and perimeters of track cyclists. In conclusion, we highlight that the results of physical condition vary depending on the training of each athlete, in this case, the results showed that the athletes have a good level of physical condition, since the response to the tests carried out was carried out in their totality with good results for the age and the sporting level in which they are.
