Determinar el perfil dermatoglífico en sujetos de la selección Colombia de gimnasia 2015, como herramienta para selección de talentos.

Abstract

The main purpose of this research is to determine the dermatoglyphics profile on the Colombian Gymnastics Team 2015 as well as identify the talents through this tool. This research is based on a descriptive cross-sectional study. The sample counted on with nine athletes on gymnastics of the Colombian Team 2015, male sex, and age average between 23 years old. The dermatoglyphics protocol by Cummins & Midlo, 1961 was used on the evaluation of their fingerprints, and descriptive statics mean and standard deviation were used in the analysis of results. Through this method it was possible to find the dermatoglyphics profile with these values of digital design, Arch (A) 0,22%, loop (L) 78,90%, whorl (W) 18,9%, Summation Quantity Total Lines (SQTL) 84,56, delta index (D10) 11,89. When the dermatoglyphics classification was done, it can be concluded that there was a predominance of speed and explosive strength and maximum strength in the analyzed sample, so the practical applicability of the dermatoglyphics as a genetic marker in the optimization of strategies to select and orientate sport practices was demonstrated. It is recommended to do more studies on this topic for female gymnastics and other sports. Clue words: dermatoglyphics, artistic gymnastic, sport talents.
