ABSTRACT
Introduction: sports classification is a daily task in the athlete's life. It is important to relate the results of the tests performed on a taekwondoin with the efficiency of the execution of their fundamental motor gesture, the kick, which represents 80% of the activity in competition. Objective: the aim is to have a tool that allows to identify and classify the most sensitive variables (anthropometric and physiological) and relate them to the sports efficiency of a sample of taekwondo athletes from Mexico City. Material and methods: descriptive cross-sectional study for the analysis of 202 variables gathered from 74 evaluations towards the identification of those with the greatest variability, to stratify the population using principal component analysis and to classify it into four levels of aptitude, using an artificial neural network. Results: athletes characterization, identifying weaknesses and strengths, was performed by the representation of more than 50% of the information contained in 19 parameters that are obtained from the data to represent the study population and limit points with statistical significance. Classification efficiency was 87.5%. Conclusion: the use of technology tools in the analysis of data and classification based on artificial intelligence is a different proposal that seeks to emulate the work done by coaches in the process of classifying athletes.REFERENCES
