Perfil antropométrico y somatotipo de atletas de Jiu-Jitsu brasileño del Team Urdesa en el periodo de mayo a diciembre 2022.

Abstract

Given the increase in athletes interested in Brazilian jiu-jitsu as a fighting sport in which the ground technique predominates and few publications on this sport, the present investigation is carried out with the objective of determining the anthropometric profile and somatotype of athletes of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu of Team Urdesa in the period of May to December 2022 . The study was observational, descriptive, cross-sectional. Anthropometric data, Heath & Carter somatochart, bioimpedance data and dynamometer were taken into consideration. In the results it was possible to characterize the anthropometric profile through the restricted profile of ISAK, identify the somatotype and body composition. It was evidenced that 81% of athletes have a mesomorph somatotype; Regarding body composition, the results are observed in 4 compartments, the average percentage of muscle mass 45.62%, bone mass 16.38%, residual mass 14.27% and adipose tissue 24.37%; the muscle mass at 31.33kg, the bone mass at 11.15kg, the residual mass at 9.26kg and the adipose tissue at 16.69kg, what was observed is striking considering that 83.9% of the study sample, has a percentage of body fat that is: also high in fat and obese, considering 80.6% with normal weight according to BMI; the highest standard deviation at the kilogram level is presented by muscle mass, which influences a greater grip strength. It is concluded that what was observed could be a competitive advantage in athletes who practice this sport.
