Abstract

Contreras, Ramírez, and Daza, (2023). Antropométrica profile of soccer referees from the Atlantic Soccer Referees Corporation - CODAFA. The objective of this study was to describe the anthropometric profile of soccer referees from the Atlantic Soccer Referees Corporation - CODAFA. 34 subjects between the ages of 17 and 31, male and female, were analyzed. Data were collected from taking anthropometric measurements (weight, height, diameters, perimeters, and skin folds) as established by the ISAK protocol. It was observed that the age of the sample evaluated has a Media for men of 22.67 ± 4.02 years, for women of 21.30 ± 3.05 years, in relation to the height men present an average of 167.37 ± 36.63 centimeters, women an average of 167.66 ± 6.86; body weight in men an average of 71.99 ± 11.16 kg, in women an average of 65.75 ± 8.0 kg; Regarding the Body Mass Index – BMI, men presented an average of 23.59 ± 3.29 kg/m2, in women an average of 23.32 ± 1.63 kg/m2. Regarding the diameters, we found significant differences between one gender and another due to the physiological and hormonal changes that female subjects present, finding a large amount of superficial fat in the abdomen, tríceps, supraspinatus and suprailiac in male subjects presenting a endomesomorphic somatotype in 75% of the evaluated population.
