Anthropometric Characteristics of Elite and Olympic Mexican Track and Field Athletes
An observational study of Athletes, run by Iberoamerican Institute of Sports Science and Human Movement at 1 site in Mexico.
Trial summary
Sport specialization requires an understanding of morphological variability to optimize performance. However, the current literature lacks a detailed analysis of the anthropometric profile of track and field athletes, especially in Latin America. Read more about this study

About this study
Sport specialization requires an understanding of morphological variability to optimize performance. However, the current literature lacks a detailed analysis of the anthropometric profile of track and field athletes, especially in Latin America. Additionally, the five-way fractionation method of body mass has been under-documented. These gaps highlight the need for more research to maximize the potential of athletes, particularly in emerging countries like Mexico. This study aims to determine the anthropometric characteristics of elite and Olympic Mexican track and field athletes. A descriptive cross-sectional study will be conducted. Forty-three anthropometric variables will be assessed to characterize the athlete´s physical composition using the standards of the International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry (ISAK). Those variables will be used to describe the anthropometric profile (Heath and Carter somatotype, body composition through five-way fractionation method, muscle bone index, muscular adipose index, sum of skinfold thicknesses, and proportionality through Ross \& Wilson Phantom strategy. Correspondences of those variables will also be established among different tests and specialties: sprint, middle-distance, long-distance, endurance, combined events, jumps, and throws. This study aims to provide the opportunity to generate reliable references for high-performance Mexican athletes.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Anthropometric assessmentDiagnostic test
A total of 43 anthropometric variables (complete profile) will be assessed following the guidelines of the International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry. All measurements will be taken on the right side of the body. The full anthropometric profile will be undertaken in duplicate to establish retest reliability. If the difference between duplicate measures exceeds 5% for skinfolds or 1% for all other variables, a third measurement will be taken, but only after the full profile has been completed in duplicate. The mean of duplicate or median of triplicate anthropometric measurements will be used for all subsequent analysis. The intra-evaluator technical error of measurement (TEM) was calculated according to the 1996 protocol of Pederson and Gore.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Athletes, run by Iberoamerican Institute of Sports Science and Human Movement at 1 site in Mexico.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Mexico. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Anthropometric body composition profile (time frame: One day). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06416124, which also lists 6 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 May 2024.
