Anthropometry, basketball, fat percentage, muscle mass, somatotypeAbstract
The objective of the study was to characterize body composition and somatotype in college-level basketball players in Colombia according to playing position. Sample consisted of 131 players (age: 21.5 ± 2.7 years) from the teams participating in the national university games. 22 anthropometric measurements were taken (four basic, eight folds, three diameters and seven perimeters); body composition and somatotype were determined according to playing positions and geographic region of the country. Descriptive statistical analysis and comparisons with one-way ANOVA and Bonferroni`s or Games-Howell`s Pos Hoc tests were performed according to data distribution. It was found that, in terms of anthropometric and body composition characteristics such as: weight, height, arm span, muscle mass and bone mass, the studied population is below standards for basketball according to the playing position, compared to different studies worldwide. Somatotype was classified as balanced mesomorph. Guards presented the best values for body composition. In a secondary analysis by region of the country, only differences were observed in the fat component between two regions and no other differences that denoted predominance in body composition in any of these regions. Percentile distribution tables by playing position are presented as a reference for Colombian college basketball.
