Abstract (English): Introduction: Multiple studies have analyzed the anthropometric characteristics of professional soccer players. However, carrying out studies describing such characteristics according to their playing position is pertinent. Objective: To describe the anthropometric characteristics, body composition and somatotype of professional male soccer players from a club in Caldas (Colombia) according to their playing position. Materials and methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study conducted in 28 professional soccer players from a club in Caldas. Body composition was estimated using the five-way fractionation method and was described according to the playing position. The differences between anthropometric indicators, body composition percentages, and somatotype according to the playing positions were evaluated using different statistical tests (ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis test and Chi-square test). Results: Participant's mean age, weight, and height were 24.9±5.74 years, 68.8±8.62kg, and 173±5.2cm, respectively. The median BMI was 22.9 (IQR=3.97kg/m2), being higher in midfielders (25.1; IQR=3.80kg/m²). The mean body adiposity percentage was 29.9±8.86%, being higher in goalkeepers (35.1±12.9%). The median muscle mass percentage was 44.7 (IQR=10.6%), being higher in forwards (49.9; IQR=7.2%). Regarding the somatotype classification, 35.71% of the players had an endo-mesomorphic type, with a statistically significant difference between the frequency of this body composition and the presence of other somatotypes (p=0.02), and being more frequent in forwards and midfielders (4 of 7 players and 3 of 5 players, respectively). Conclusions: Differences in some anthropometric variables and somatotypes were identified in the players according to their playing position. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): Introducción. Múltiples estudios han analizado las características antropométricas en futbolistas profesionales. Sin embargo, es pertinente realizar estudios que describan estas características según la posición de juego. Objetivo. Describir las características antropométricas, la composición corporal y el somatotipo de jugadores profesionales de fútbol masculino de un club de Caldas, Colombia, según su posición de juego. Materiales y métodos. Estudio transversal descriptivo realizado en 28 futbolistas profesionales de un equipo de Caldas. Se estimó la composición corporal utilizando el modelo de fraccionamiento de cinco componentes y se describió según la posición de juego. Las diferencias en los indicadores antropométricos, los porcentajes de composición corporal y el somatotipo según la posición de juego fueron evaluadas usando diferentes pruebas estadísticas (ANOVA, prueba de Kruskal-Wallis y prueba Chi cuadrado). Resultados. La edad promedio fue 24.9±5.74 años; el peso corporal promedio, 68.8±8.62kg, y la estatura promedio, 173±5.2cm. La mediana del IMC fue 22.9 (RIC=3.97kg/m2), siendo mayor en los mediocampistas (25.1; RIC=3.80kg/m²). El porcentaje de adiposidad promedio fue 29.9±8.86%, siendo mayor en los porteros (35.1±12.9%). La mediana de porcentaje de masa muscular fue 44.7% (RIC=10.6%), siendo más alta en los delanteros (49.9; RIC=±7.2%). Respecto a la clasificación del somatotipo, 35.71% de los futbolistas tenía un componente endo-mesomorfo, observándose una diferencia estadísticamente significativa entre la frecuencia de esta composición y los demás somatotipos (p=0.02), y siendo más frecuente en los delanteros y mediocampistas (4 de 7 jugadores y 3 de 5 jugadores, respectivamente). Conclusiones. Se identificaron diferencias en algunas variables antropométricas y en el somatotipo de los futbolistas según su posición de juego. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
