The following protocols were used: 1) bioimpedance analysis to determine the body weight (BW), body mass index (BMI), and body fat percentage (BFP); 2) a measuring tape to measure waist circumference (WC); 3) an automatic sphygmomanometer to obtain systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure; 4) a Sit and Reach test was used to evaluate flexibility and the push-up test to evaluate muscular endurance. The results showed that BFP and (BMI) were the variables in which the highest number of people presented unhealthy values, according to international parameters. Significant differences (p<0.05) were found in SBP, DBP, WC, BFP, BMI, and muscle endurance according to sex and age. Significant correlations were found between physiological responses, physical fitness, and body composition. In conclusion, age and sex influence the results of the variables. Results were found that represent metabolic and cardiorespiratory risk factors. 2020 artículo científico 1659-097X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=237062748007 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2370/237062748007/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2370/237062748007/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2370/237062748007/237062748007.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/2370/237062748007/movil https://doi.org/10.15359/mhs.17-2.2 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=2370 MHSalud application/pdf Universidad Nacional de Costa Rica MHSalud (Costa Rica) Num.2 Vol.17 |
