Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the differences in anthropometric characteristics between sprinters and jumpers to aim education more accurately in these fields. The study included 24 men in athletics, they were divided into two groups: 14 sprinters (age 21.57 ± 1.16 years) and 10 jumpers (21.80 ± 1.03 years). The variables included 13 anthropometric measures. To determine the differences between groups of variables it was used Mann-Whitney U test and analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results of the Mann-Whitney U test showed statistically significant difference (p ≤ 0.05) in two variables for estimating subcutaneous adipose tissue, chest skinfold, and midaxillary skinfold. Other analyzed variables for assessing the longitudinal of the skeleton, and body mass and volume differences were not statistically significant (p ≥ 0.05). These findings may give coaches better knowledge, suggest following recent methods and be more careful in training programs with different athletics.
