Efectos de un programa de entrenamiento concurrente sobre el perfil antropométrico y la fuerza muscular en un grupo de jóvenes universitarios
Introduction: There are alarming figures in relation to overweight and obesity, originating in the energy imbalance between calories consumed and spent, as well as a decrease in physical activity. Objective: To determine the effects of a Concurrent Training (EC) program on the anthropometric profile and Muscle Strength (FM) in university students who are overweight or obese. Population and methods: The sample is composed of 12 young people between 18 and 22 years of age. The Body Mass Index (BMI), the percentage of Fatty Mass (% MG) and FM, before and after the intervention were assessed. The subjects complete a concurrent training program 3 times a week, with sessions of 60 minutes per day, for 10 weeks. Results: After the intervention, a significant reduction in% MG was detected (p <0.000). Although there was a reduction in BMI, it was not statistically significant (p <0.087). In addition, the FM of the lower train increases 39.5% and the higher train 24.9% evaluated in a Maximum Repetition (1RM) with a significance value (p <0.05). Conclusion: The results that affect 10 weeks of concurrent training, three times per week and 60 minutes per session with strength exercises and aerobic exercise were able to reduce the% MG, with a reduction in BMI that was not statistically significant, improving the anthropometric profile and a general increase in FM was noted in parallel.
