Resumen
The aim of the study was to analyze body composition and somatotype of the judokas participants at the Spanish Junior Championship. We analyzed 97 male judokas (n= 97): 57 junior (13.33±0.66 years) and 40 cadets (15.18±0.74 years), through a Tetracompartimental Fractionation and the somatotype through a Heath-Carter method. In junior category, 48.11% of muscle mass, 25.49% of residual mass, 14.80% of fat mass and 11.56% of bone mass. In cadet category, 47.67% of muscle mass, 25.25% of residual mass, 16.46% of fat mass and 10.57% of bone mass. Significant differences were found only in the bone compartment between both groups. The average somatotype for both categories was Ectomorph Balanced.
