Relación entre Dermatoglifía, Resistencia Aeróbica y Fuerza Explosiva en Jugadores de un Club de Fútbol Formativo en Bogotá.

Abstract

Introduction: Talent detection is a process that allows the selection of those players with the potential to reach high performance. One of the aspects to be taken into account in this process is to have the physical capabilities required by the sport discipline. Because of this, there are tools such as fingerprint dermatoglyphics, which determines the innate and non-innate physical abilities. Objective: To establish the relationship of the fingerprint profile with explosive strength and endurance in male soccer players of a formative club. Methodology: Quantitative research with a cross-sectional correlational design. The sample consisted of 22 players, with a mean age of 15.05 ± 0.89 years. Fingerprint dermatoglyphics was measured following the protocol of Cummins and Midlo. The Squat Jump from the Bosco battery was used to measure explosive strength. Finally, the third instrument was the Shuttle Run Test 20m, with which the maximum oxygen consumption was estimated. Results: The fingerprint profile of the soccer players reported values ​​of 70 ± 23.09 in loops; 23.68 ± 23.09 in whorls; and, 6.32 ± 11.65 for arches. The players reported a good maximal oxygen consumption, with a value of 49.43 ± 5.48 ml / kg / min. With the Squat Jump, the height values ​​were obtained, being 25.88 ± 3.95 cm; absolute power, whose value was 1992.04 ± 454.38 watts; and, relative power, 35.76 ± 5.33 w / kg. Maximum oxygen consumption by playing position showed that goalkeepers are the players with the lowest value, while midfielders are the players with the highest mean. Conclusions: There was no correlation between the variables measured; however, the fingerprint profile determined that the players have a predisposition towards speed and motor coordination.
