“…It has been suggested that anthropometric determinants in themselves may not be sufficient to predict performance and that experience may play a larger role in the relationship [18]. This was confirmed by Pieter et al [21], who reported that performance in males was predicted by general taekwondo and competition-specific experience as well as mesomorhy. In the females, performance was related to general taekwondo and competition-specific experience as well as height.…”

The purpose of this study was to assess and compare the somatotype of elite junior taekwondo athletes. Subjects (9 boys, 15.44 ± 1.21 years, 165.94 ± 12.82 cm, 53.82 ± 13.41 kg, and 9 girls, 15.05 ± 1.30 years, 160.82 ± 10.46 cm, 50.58 ± 10.41 kg) were members of the US national junior taekwondo team. The Heath-Carter somatotype method was used to assess body build of the athletes. To determine the difference between boys and girls in somatotype, a 1-way Anova was used. The global somatotype analysis revealed no difference in somatotype attitudinal mean between boys and girls (p = 0.411, eta 2 = 0.043) or SAD (p = 0.215, eta 2 = 0.094). There was a small difference in endomorphy between boys and girls (p = 0.053, eta 2 = 0.214). Physique may be used as one of the selection criteria to detect and develop talent in taekwondo.

“…In a sample of male taekwondo practitioners, Pieter et al (2002) indicated that competitive results are strongly associated with other prognostic determinants besides the mesomorph component, such as training level and competitive experience. Among women, competitive results were correlated with body height and competitive experience.…”

Body build and proportions are key determinants of athletic success. The effects of the athlete selection process and discipline-specific training are differentiated body dimensions. The aim of the study was to examine the physical characteristics of female combat athletes. The results of anthropometric measurements of 154 females aged 21.2±1.79 years competing in judo, jiu-jitsu, karate, taekwondo, and fencing for 7.5±3.43 years. Significant differences were observed between the judo and karate, taekwondo and fencing practitioners in chest, hip, arm and forearm girths. More variance was observed in body proportions. Fencers had the slimmest body shape, a more massive body size in the judokas. Longer upper extremities relative to lower extremity length were found in the jiu-jitsu group. Relative to body height, a larger torso and greater girths were observed in the judokas compared with the fencing, karate, and taekwondo practitioners. The groups did not differ in the level of endomorphy. Mesomorphy was highest in judokas and the lowest in fencers, although ectomorphy was most dominant in the latter group. Females practitioners of combat sports exhibit differences in physical characteristics as an effect of optimizing body type and build via the training and athlete selection process of a given discipline. The anthropometric measures could play a role in talent identification programmes for martial arts and help the trainers to optimize the motoric effectiveness of athletes.

“…Y aunque algunos autores (Olds and Kang, 2000 (16) ); Pieter et al, 2002 (17) ) hablan de que la experiencia es un factor más importante que los datos antropométricos para conseguir el éxito en la competición, éstos en un deporte donde el equilibrio juega un papel muy importante (pierde el luchador que toca primero el suelo con cualquier parte de su cuerpo que no sean los pies) son de trascendencia capital. Un sujeto más pesado, con más masa libre de grasa tendrá mayores probabilidades de éxito que otro de menores características, pero eso sí, a un conste fisiológico más alto, pues tendrá mayores tensiones arteriales sistólica y se moverá en mayores rango de frecuencia cardiaca.…”

(2015 RESUMENLa Lucha Canaria (LC) ha sido recientemente reconocida como deporte por el Consejo Superior de Deportes, aunque su origen se pierde en el tiempo. Sin embargo, no hay ningún trabajo en la bibliografía científica que describa qué ocurre fisiológicamente durante la competición en esta modalidad de lucha, y éste es el objetivo del presente trabajo. Con una muestra de 12 luchadores de alto nivel (puntales) simulamos el sistema de competición actual en Lucha Canaria. Se estudió la frecuencia cardiaca, la tensión arterial y la concentración de lactato en sangre en diferentes momentos de la simulación. Los patrones observados de respuesta de FC, TA y lactato, caracterizan a la competición en LC como un ejercicio intermitente, con picos de intensidad que superan el umbral láctico y determinan incrementos importantes de FC y TA sistólica.
