CASTRO, Laura Elizabeth et al. Perfil dermatoglífico y somatotipo en atletas universitarios. Educ. fís. cienc. [online]. 2021, vol.23, n.1, pp.167-167. ISSN 2314-2561.  http://dx.doi.org/https://doi.org/10.24215/23142561e167.

This study characterized the dermatoglyphic profile and somatotype of 12 university athletes, belonging to the athletics team of the Santo Tomás University, Bogotá Campus. The dermatoglyphic characteristics were identified, according to the Cummins & Midlo (1942) protocol, to obtain the types of designs of digital impressions (A = 0.3; ± 0.7; L = 6.9 ± 2.6 and W = 2.8 ± 2.9) and, in turn, the sum of the total number of lines (SCTL = 170.6 ± 95.1), and finally, the delta index (D10 = 12.4 ± 3.3). For the somatotype, the Heath & Carter protocol (1990) was taken into account. Endomorphy in (2.5 ± 0.9); Mesomorphy (5.3 ± 0.9) and Ectomorphy (3.1 ± 1). The dermatoglyphic profile of each of the athletes evidenced the presence of the ectomorphic somatotype over the others. This determined the importance of this technique as a genetic tool in the optimization of sports strategies and orientations. The need to continue with these reseach processes are fundamental for the academy, sports processes, athletes, and Colombian university professional sport.
