| Descrizione: | Objective: To analyze the profile of physical condition and body composition of young people and adolescents from Yolombó, Antioquia, based on a functional evaluation, considering the socioeconomic vulnerability that characterizes and impacts this population. Method: A cross-sectional descriptive study design was carried out with 199 students (91 men and 108 women) residing in this population and linked to an educational institution, whose average ages were between 13,9±1,83 in boys and 12.9±2,00 in girls. Physical condition and body composition tests were applied based on the EUROFIT evaluation battery. The data are presented as means and standard deviations; the results between variables by sex were compared by bivariate analysis using the U-Mann-Whitney test; effect size statistics (rank r and Cohen’s d, with their respective 95% confidence intervals) were calculated together with p values, considering significant differences when (p≤0,05). Results: The analysis showed significant differences between the sexes for each of the variables of both body composition and physical condition (p<0,01). Conclusions: Significant differences were observed among the participants, however, in terms of physical condition, low levels were evidenced, which is a determining factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases in this population. |
