Analizar la correlación entre composición corporal y capacidad cardiorrespiratoria en corredores de calle. Estudio cuantitativo, descriptivo y transversal realizado durante el evento FastTest, en Aracaju, Brasil. El grupo de muestra del estudio, seleccionado aleatoriamente entre los 61 participantes del evento, estuvo compuesto por 36 corredores, de los cuales 21 participantes masculinos ( = 41,86 ± 10,14 años) y 15 mujeres ( = 43,93 ± 11,04 años). La recolección de datos se realizó mediante evaluación antropométrica (estatura, masa corporal total y pliegues cutáneos) y consumo máximo de oxígeno, mediante la prueba de Cooper. Se observó una correlación negativa entre el percentual de grasa y el VO2max en el grupo de mujeres (r = -0.60; p = 0.001) y hombres (r = -0,74; p = 0,0001); y entre el índice de masa corporal y el VO2máx, en hombres (r = -0,79; p = 0,0001) y en mujeres (r = -0,63; p = 0,0005). Se puede observar una pendiente positiva entre el porcentaje de masa magra y el VO2max, en hombres (r = 0,74; p = 0,0001) y mujeres (r = 0,60; p = 0,001). Se evidencia la importancia de un bajo porcentaje de grasa y una mayor masa magra para el rendimiento físico en modalidades aeróbicas y pruebas de resistencia.

El propósito del estudio fue comparar el equilibrio y la motricidad global de escolares practicantes de Educación Física curricular y practicantes de balet como actividad física extracurricular. El estudio fue descriptivo comparativo. Se aplicó la Escala de Desarrollo Motor, específicamente las pruebas de equilibrio y motricidad global, a 18 niños entre 9 y 11 años, de los que nueve eran practicantes de balet y nueve, no practicantes de actividad física extracurricular. Para comparar el desarrollo motor entre los grupos de estudio, se aplicó la prueba de Fischer. Para la significancia estadística se consideró el nivel de p<0,05. Los resultados de la investigación evidenciaron que no hubo diferencias significativas entre los grupos balet y escuela en las pruebas de equilibrio y motricidad global. Con la investigación, se concluye que los individuos analizados en el estudio presentaron el mismo nivel de desarrollo motor debido a que todos los grupos alcanzaron más de 50 % de ítems positivos.

El propósito del estudio fue comparar los aspectos motores entre escolares y niños que practican actividad extra de natación. Se trata de un estudio descriptivo comparativo y que utilizó la Escala de Desarrollo Motor de Rosa (2002), a partir de la cual se emplearon las pruebas de motricidad global, equilibrio y lateralidad. Se evaluaron 28 niños, de los que 14 son escolares (3 niños y 11 niñas) y 14 estudiantes (7 niños y 7 niñas), que actúan en la escuela junto a la actividad extra de natación. Los resultados señalan una diferencia significativa en la prueba de motricidad global y equilibrio con relación a las frecuencias de ejecución, siendo favorables al grupo de estudiantes que practican actividad extra de natación.

This research seeks to recognize the results of strength training in pre-pubertal teenagers, through various exercises aimed at improving different skills and optimizing their sports development, in children and youths of the Colegio Pedagogic Nacional volleyball team. The quantitative approach, data collection, numerical measurement and statistical analysis were used, aimed at establishing behavior patterns and testing the hypothesis that strength in the studied population increases in a linear and progressive way when incorporating a training strategy. From appropriate strength, the cross-sectional design and the correlational way found the relationship between two or more variables involved. The results of the research exercise showed that the implementation of a strength program with a low load and a progressive increase produces benefits in children and teenagers to improve their execution technique and their physical condition.

The objective was to compare strength and functional autonomy among elderly practitioners of resistance training with and without additional overload. 28 elderly men and women from the open-air gym and LERES / UEPA participated. Methods: Handgrip strength was assessed through dynamometry, lower limb resistance from the sit-and-stand test in 30 seconds and functional autonomy by the GDLAM test battery. The results showed slightly higher levels for the measurement of handgrip strength and lower limb resistance in the Leres group that practices resistance training with progressive overload. In the GDLAM protocol, although without statistical differences, the LERES group performed the C10M, LPS, LCLC and VTC tests in slightly lower times than the AAL group, presenting a higher time only in the LPDV test, therefore with better functional autonomy, proving that the elderly are more functionally active due to the greater muscle strength and endurance resulting from structural adaptations caused by progressive overload. It is concluded that, through the practice of resistance exercise, favorable responses can be obtained regarding the levels of functional autonomy in the elderly, significantly improving muscle strength gain, thus causing greater independence and better quality of life.

The adapted Footgolf is not among the sports modalities of the Spanish Sports Federation for People with Cerebral Palsy and Acquired Brain Damage. Therefore, the objective of the present work is to carry out a proposal to adapt the Footgolf regulations for people with cerebral palsy based on the functional classification of soccer player. Taking the conventional Footgolf regulation as a reference, an adaptation of materials, sports facilities, and technical-tactical aspects has been carried out. The practice of sport by people with disabilities in general and with cerebral palsy, in particular, can have different benefits in physical condition, as well as at a psychological, physical, social, work, functional and recreational level, that improve the quality of life and facilitate the inclusion of this population.

People’s liking for physical activity through sports practices related to fitness modalities have had a great increase in recent decades, as well as the presence of injuries in their participants. Therefore, this research article seeks to demonstrate the prevalence of injuries on the Students at Universidad Santo Tomas (USTA) of Bogotá, Colombia. The research methodology was based on a nonexperimental design, with a transversal character. The analysis of the data was realized by the application of the CLUP-F questionnaire, identifying the fitness modality that they practice, the time that they are developing as fitness practitioners, the number of injuries and the corporal segment that was injured. The statistical data was analyzed through spreadsheets of Excel (2016 version). The result indicated that all the modalities of fitness showed a high prevalence of injuries, as well as a predominance of injuries on the shoulder joint. At the same way, the calisthenics and weightlifting training are the ones that have a high percentage of their practitioners with injuries.

The present article is of scientific research, it addresses aspects of motor skills supported by the foundations of biomechanics, in the presence of physical and interdisciplinary reasoning. These sciences in high school reveal an approach to the study of man in the execution of movement. Understanding about motor skills increases the interest of the student-athletes of the school sports initiation school. And at the same time they are indispensable in the Physical Culture career, as the internal structure of the body in joint and muscular movement. Didactic proposals are sought to introduce these contents, thus achieving a comprehensive general culture and training them professionally.

Evoluções tecnológicas estão presentes na vida de todas as pessoas. Em geral, as tecnologias buscam facilitar as situações do dia a dia, gerando mais conforto para o ser humano. Contudo, o conforto produzido por elas está interferindo no estilo de vida das pessoas. Cada vez mais, observa-se uma população sedentária, com hábitos de vida prejudiciais à saúde. Diante desse quadro, ações relacionadas à busca da qualidade de vida e da saúde são fundamentais. Entre as possibilidades, está a produção de conhecimento que promova o desenvolvimento de hábitos saudáveis. Com a aplicação de conhecimento atualizado, pode-se influenciar e modificar o estilo de vida a partir de hábitos saudáveis. Na perspectiva de promoção de hábitos saudáveis para uma vida sã, a Revista de Investigación Cuerpo, Cultura y Movimiento, da Faculdade de Cultura Física, Desporto e Recreação (Universidad Santo Tomás), produziu uma edição (2021-2) a partir de trabalhos acadêmicos com a temática “Novas tendências científicas em corpo, cultura e movimento”.
