Background: Ultimate Frisbee (UF) is an intermittent team sport with distinct positional roles (cutters and handlers), yet evidence integrating anthropometric, body composition, and physical performance profiles by playing position remains limited. This study aimed to examine positional differences in these variables among male UF players. Methods: Forty male players (age: 25.13 ± 3.76 years; 7.0 ± 2.5 years of training experience) participated in this cross-sectional design, including 20 cutters and 20 handlers. Anthropometry, body composition, and dynamic balance variables were analyzed using independent-samples t-tests or Mann–Whitney U tests, as appropriate. Positional differences in somatotype and physical performance were analyzed using a one-way multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA). Results: No positional differences were observed in general anthropometric variables (p > 0.05). However, handlers exhibited higher body fat percentage (14.32 ± 2.37 vs. 11.95 ± 2.45; p = 0.028), fat mass (11.08 ± 2.51 vs. 8.95 ± 2.67 kg; p = 0.049), and endomorphy (4.15 ± 1.22 vs. 2.99 ± 1.30; p = 0.002) than cutters. In contrast, cutters demonstrated higher speed (20 m sprint: 3.11 ± 0.17 vs. 3.21 ± 0.15 s; p < 0.05), agility (10.16 ± 0.69 vs. 10.69 ± 0.61 s; p < 0.05), and vertical jump performance (Counter Movement Jump: 40.93 ± 6.54 vs. 36.38 ± 4.71 cm; p < 0.05; Abalakov: 46.39 ± 7.88 vs. 40.20 ± 4.68 cm; p < 0.01). No differences were found in intermittent endurance (Yo-Yo Intermitent Recovery Test1): 982 ± 354 vs. 940 ± 348 m), upper-limb power, or dynamic balance. Conclusions: These findings indicate that playing position in UF is characterized by distinct body composition and lower-limb neuromuscular performance profiles, whereas intermittent endurance, upper-limb power, and balance represent shared physical requirements across positions.

This study evaluated the effects of a 10-week Daily Mile (DM) intervention on physical fitness and plantar pressure in overweight and obese adolescents from a low-income school in Colombia. A parallel group experimental pilot study was conducted with adolescents aged 11–17 from a Colombian school. Participants were randomly assigned to an intervention group (IG, n = 21) that performed DM three days/week in addition to the usual curriculum, or to a control group (CG, n = 24). Outcomes included anthropometry, blood pressure, muscular fitness, baropodometry, and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF). A hierarchical multiple linear regression was used to assess the intervention’s effect on CRF.No significant differences between groups were observed in anthropometry, blood pressure, muscular fitness, or baropodometry variables. In contrast, CRF significantly improved in the IG, with an average increase of ∼ 150 m in the Shuttle Run Test compared to controls (CG: 517.61 (71.93) vs. IG: 400.00 (182.29) m, p = 0.028). Hierarchical regression confirmed this effect (β = 149.88; CI 95% 55.8–210.0, p = 0.002). In this pilot study, a 10-week DM intervention resulted in short-term improvements in CRF among overweight and obese adolescents from a low-income Colombian school. These findings provide preliminary evidence of the feasibility of implementing DM within the school routine and support its potential to elicit favorable cardiorespiratory adaptations, warranting further investigation in larger and longer-term studies in this context.
