Resumen:

Aims: The aim of this study is to prepare a guideline for the kineanthropometric control of Mexicans boxers grouped into body weight divisions (lightweight: 48, 51, 54 and 57 kg, middleweight: 60, 64, 69 and 75 kg and heavyweight: 81, 91 and over 91 kg). This control guideline is a fundamental tool in controlling training and talent selection. Methods: Two hundred amateur boxers who attended the Annual National Junior and First Force Championship were studied. Body composition was determined using the Four Components method, the six skinfold sum was used to determine the proportion of body fat and the population of boxers was classified depending on laterality. The variables were analyzed with descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and percentage. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to identify the distribution of variables and the Student-t test (p < 0.05) for compare groups. Results: Most boxers had right laterality (89%), which is dominant in the middleweight and heavyweight divisions. The four anthropometric components studied (kg) increased while the pooled divisions had a higher body weight. Fat mass and muscle mass, which are the most related components to training level, were significantly modified among the grouped body weight divisions. Conclusion: These differences confirm the need to morphologically study boxing in grouped body weight divisions. © 2017 Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
