Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify the incidence of body composition and somatotype of the Military Aeronautical Pentathlon team of the Ecuadorian Air Force, a member of the Military Sport Federation of Ecuador (Fedeme) as well as of the International Military Sports Council (CISM), through anthropometric evaluations of the athletes before their participation in the 56th Edition of the World Military Championship held in Pirassununga, Brazil in 2014. The case study method was applied, with foundations on a non-experimental cross-design due to the fact that all the samples were collected only once; the anthropometric variables studied in this research were: body mass index (BMI), percentage of fat, bone, muscle and residual, used in the valuation of sports, in order to determine the morphological impact on athletic performances; this information was processed and analyzed by anthropometric somatotype bypass, supported by the method of Heath and Carter (1980). The prevalence of body fat percentage and somatotype in this group of athletes, both women and men, are within the parameters established worldwide; therefore, it was possible to define the ideal profile to fit our reality in this sport discipline. This will allow an appropriate selection of future talents and generate morphological changes on those already selected.to improve their performance.
