(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-09-25) Prada Téllez, Laura Andrea; Ortiz Suárez, Lina Marcela; Jiménez Castillo, Juan Sebastian; Contreras Guanare, Pedro Pablo; Rodriguez Gómez, Isol Melissa; Murillo López, Alba Liliana; Universidad Santo Tomas
Burnout syndrome and optimism are crucial factors in the field of sports coaching, particularly for coaches who face intense emotional and physical demands while practicing their profession. This study aimed to analyze the levels of burnout and optimism experienced by sports coaches in San Gil and Socorro during their professional practice. It employed an analytical cross-sectional design, focusing on a population of sports coaches from various disciplines who were over 18 years of age and held technical, technological, or professional qualifications in the field. The sample consisted of 74 coaches. Data collection was carried out using an in-person digital Google Forms questionnaire that integrated four instruments: informed consent, a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Maslach Burnout Inventory (to assess burnout syndrome), and the LOT-R questionnaire (to measure optimism levels). The results showed that burnout levels were predominantly moderate (67.67%), with 31.08% in the low range and only 1.35% in the high range. Optimism levels were evenly distributed (33.78% low, 32.43% medium, and 33.78% high). In conclusion, burnout syndrome among sports coaches appears primarily at a moderate level, while optimism levels show a balanced distribution. The study demonstrated that higher optimism is associated with lower levels of emotional exhaustion, hopelessness, and burnout.
Propuesta teórica de microciclo basado en el método de contraste francés para el desarrollo de la potencia y el salto vertical, adaptado a la individualización y programación específica para clavadistas
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-09-16) Bohorquez Reyes, Miguel Ángel; Castro Ramírez, Cindy Joulieth; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001196332; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0002370975; https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=J2NMlykAAAAJ&hl=es&oi=ao; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9442-1532; https://orcid.org/0009-0002-5003-122X
This study aims to analyze the advantages and limitations of the French Contrast Method as a training tool for developing muscular power, proposing its methodological adaptation for the design of microcycles in diving athletes. Given the biomechanical and conditional demands of the technical gesture in this sport especially during the takeoff phase it was necessary to integrate strategies that enhance elastic-explosive strength without compromising technical quality or causing accumulated fatigue. A qualitative, descriptive, and documentary methodology was employed, based on a documentary review of specialized books, indexed scientific articles, and recent meta-analyses. The review process was structured into four phases: compilation of academic references related to the French Contrast Method, identification of complementary strategies to mitigate its limitations, analysis of practical applications, and the design of a nine week microcycle based on the method. The microcycle was structured under principles of undulating periodization and included phases of general adaptation, isometric and plyometric work, and specific transfer to the backward takeoff gesture—essential in diving. The literature review showed that the French Contrast Method, by combining sequences of maximal strength, plyometrics, and assisted exercises, produces significant improvements in power output and neuromuscular activation (Baz-Valle et al., 2021; Hernández-Preciado et al., 2018). However, its improper application can lead to fatigue, particularly in young athletes or those in technically demanding sports such as diving. Therefore, methodological adjustments were made, including the incorporation of neuromuscular control phases, deloading sessions, and alternative methods such as the kinetic and analytical approaches (Cometti, 2002; Sale, 2004). The final structure of the microcycle aims to maximize the force-velocity relationship and optimize technical transfer through a progressive distribution of loads, alternating stimuli, and a focus on technical precision. The proposed phases include general adaptation, pure isometric work, isometric/concentric focus, classical French contrast application, and a final deload week to promote supercompensation and consolidate adaptations. In conclusion, the French Contrast Method represents an effective strategy to enhance performance in sports requiring explosive strength, such as diving, provided it is carefully adapted to the athlete’s characteristics and applied following sound scientific and technical principles. This project presents an innovative methodological proposal that may serve as a foundation for future research in specific training for highly technical sports.

Calidad de vida en entrenadores deportivos adscritos a distintas universidades colombianas
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-08-31) Huertas Garrido, Juan José; Rangel Caballero, Luis Gabriel; Universidad Santo Tomas
The quality of life for human beings has been synonymous with challenges for society, especially in an environment as demanding as the coaching profession, which can affect their performance and overall well-being. Therefore, the objective of this article is to identify the quality of life of sports coaches from different Colombian universities. The study instrument is the “WHOQOL-BREF Questionnaire,” which measures a person's quality of life through twenty-six (26) questions, taking into account four (4) dimensions: physical health, psychological health, social relationships, and environment. The study will be applied to a total of 38 sports coaches from Colombian universities. Understanding each of these dimensions is crucial for developing strategies to improve the quality of life and overall well-being of sports coaches. This research indicates that, to enhance the well-being and quality of life of the coach, it is important to understand each of the domains evaluated and, if necessary, to develop strategies, campaigns, or talks that promote the well-being of sports coaches, thereby fostering better professional development and performance.
Actividad física en estudiantes de las zonas rural y urbana de la Institución Educativa el Pórtico, Rionegro, Santander
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-08-25) Ibet Daniela Reyes Teran; Andrés Mauricio Tovar Montaña; Niño García, Nelson Ariel; Universidad Santo Tomás
This study sought to analyze the differences in compliance with physical activity recommendations among school children in the urban and rural areas of the El Pórtico Educational Institution, in the municipality of Rionegro, Santander. A quantitative, descriptive, and cross-sectional approach was used, without manipulating the analyzed variables. A total of 77 students from sixth to eleventh grade participated (37 from the rural area and 40 from the urban area), aged between 11 and 17 years old, selected through non-probability sampling from a population of 255 enrolled students. Data were collected using the physical activity module of the Global School-based Student Health Survey (GSHS), developed by the WHO and the CDC. The results showed that 18.2% of the students meet the World Health Organization recommendation of accumulating at least 300 minutes of physical activity per week, a proportion that was 13.5% in the rural area and 22.5% in the urban area. Active commuting was also low: 49.4% of the sample does not walk or use a bicycle as a means of transportation. Overall, it is evident that a small proportion of the institution's students meet the WHO physical activity recommendations, with specific differences between rural and urban areas regarding sedentary time and active commuting, highlighting the importance of strengthening physical education programs and promoting active habits tailored to each context.Keywords: physical activity, adolescents, rural area, urban area, sedentary behavior, GSHS.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the demographic characteristics in the levels of leisure time physical activity of Colombians, according to the National Survey on the Nutritional Situation in Colombia, ENSIN 2015. This survey was carried out in 17943 Colombians of all ages. regions of the country, its sampling was complex, stratified by conglomerates. Leisure-time physical activity was recategorized according to the recommendations of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, IPAQ. Variables such as sex, gender, age, level of schooling, geographical region, area (Municipal and Rest) and the perception of body weight were considered to evaluate their behavior in physical activity levels. Significant differences (p<0.01) were found in most demographic variables between low and moderate to vigorous levels of physical activity. No differences were found in physical activity among those who perceive themselves as skinny (p=0.664), those who live in the eastern region (p=0.246), Bogotá (p=0.215) and Pacifica (p=0.274). Specific analyzes by regions are required to understand the phenomenon of physical activity related to the characteristics of the diversity of the regions in Colombia.
Viabilidad de los proyectos de emprendimiento universitario en cultura física, deporte y recreación: análisis estratégico y proyección empresarial en egresados de la Universidad Santo Tomás (2021–2024)
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-07-26) Ochoa Torres, Juan Nicolás; Cárdenas Mora, Juan Manuel; Díaz García, Juan José; Velásquez, Gonzalo Florián ; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001526307; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0002308680; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0002308765; https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=f4eS2ZUAAAAJ&hl=es&oi=ao; https://orcid.org/0009-0005-0737-1925; https://orcid.org/0009-0000-1225-5164; https://orcid.org/0009-0006-0683-4876
University entrepreneurship currently represents one of the main mechanisms linking academic training with contemporary economic dynamics. In the field of Physical Culture, Sports, and Recreation, business creation projects have gained increasing relevance due to their capacity to address needs related to health, well-being, social inclusion, and community sustainability. The objective of this study was to analyze the feasibility and relevance of entrepreneurship projects developed as a degree option by students of the Faculty of Physical Culture, Sports, and Recreation at Universidad Santo Tomás between 2021 and 2024, evaluating their strategic, financial, and administrative components in relation to real business environment demands. A mixed-methods study with a descriptive analytical design and hermeneutic orientation was conducted, based on the documentary analysis of 37 undergraduate degree projects. The evaluation included a systematic content review, thematic categorization, and application of the SWOT matrix to identify strengths, opportunities, eaknesses, and threats within each proposal. In addition, a qualitative analysis was performed through open and axial coding, allowing the identification of emerging patterns related to innovation, sustainability, human talent, financing, and social projection.The results demonstrated a high concentration of projects within the physical activity and sports sectors (35% each), with lower representation in recreation (8%). The main strengths were associated with methodological innovation, integration of digital platforms, interdisciplinary approaches, and institutional partnerships. However, persistent weaknesses included limited financial planning, low brand consolidation, and insufficient economic sustainability. The recreation sector achieved the highest scores in social impact and innovation, whereas physical activity and sports projects showed adequate technical feasibility but limitations in business management. In conclusion, the university projects analyzed demonstrated significant potential to become sustainable and socially relevant initiatives. Nevertheless, consolidating these proposals requires strengthening training in strategic management, financing, digital marketing, and articulation with real entrepreneurial ecosystems. The findings provide guidelines for optimizing university entrepreneurial education and promoting business models with greater long-term sustainability and territorial impact.
Diseño y pilotaje del índice de capacidades técnico-físicas (ictf) para la evaluación del rendimiento integral en futbolistas sub-15 del club caterpillar motor en Bogotá
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 0016-07-26) Jerez Herrera, Diego Alejandro; Cárdenas Daza, Jhoann Smith; Cárdenas Daza, Juan Diego; Betancourt Jiménez, Milthon Javier; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001015990; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0002308683; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4184-4878
This study aimed to develop and pilot the Technical-Physical Capacities Index (ICTF) as a preliminary instrument to assess multidimensional performance in under-15 football players from Club Caterpillar Motor in Bogotá. A non-experimental, cross-sectional, exploratory–correlational design was applied with a final sample of ten male players. Data were collected through standardized physical tests (SJ, CMJ, DJ, V30M, Course-Navette, Illinois) and match-derived statistics (minutes played, passing accuracy, shooting accuracy, offensive and defensive duels won) from ten official matches. The ICTF was structured into six dimensions: Rhythm, Shooting, Passing, Dribbling, Defense, and Physical. Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega. Results showed low alpha coefficients due to scale heterogeneity, whereas omega ranged from 0.539 to 0.893, indicating acceptable composite reliability, particularly in Shooting (ω = 0.893), Physical (ω = 0.855) and Defense (ω = 0.604). Significant inverse correlations between speed and jump performance (SJ–V30M: r = −0.816; CMJ–V30M: r = −0.766) supported the coherence of the Physical dimension. Technical dimensions displayed weaker relationships, reflecting their perceptual–decisional nature. These findings provide preliminary empirical support for the internal structure and multidimensional functionality of the ICTF. Although still in a pilot phase, the index demonstrates operational feasibility and potential as an integral assessment tool in youth football, with future validation requiring expert judgment, factor analysis, and longitudinal evaluation.
Percepcion de la salud y la relacion en actividad fisica en estudiantes de pregrado de primer semestre de la Universidad Santo Tomas de Bogota
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-07-09) Alarcón Garzon, Andersson Yesit; Gutiérrez Barahona Stefania, Gutiérrez Barahona Stefania; Bentacur, Milton; universidad Santo Tomás; https://orcid.org/0009-0009-5208-0659
First-semester university students face a new stage of academic and social adaptation that can affect their overall health. Although physical activity is recognized as a protective factor for mental health, there is conflicting evidence regarding its actual relationship with perceived health, especially in more specific populations such as students beginning their university studies. The objective of this study is to relate perceived health to the level of physical activity in first-semester students at the Santo Tomás University in Bogotá. The research is conducted using a quantitative, descriptive-correlational approach with a crosssectional design. The population consists of students enrolled in their first semester of undergraduate studies, while the sample will be non-probabilistic and based on convenience, with a minimum of 30 participants. Two validated instruments will be used for data collection: the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) (low, moderate, or vigorous activity levels) and the SF-36 Health Survey, which assesses perceived health in its physical and mental dimensions. This study aims to identify whether a statistically significant relationship exists between the level of physical activity and the perception of health among first-semester students, providing evidence for future institutional interventions aimed at promoting active lifestyles and improving the overall well-being of the university community. The results were not as expected, since previous research had found that physical activity had benefits on perceived health. However, in this population, the opposite was found: the higher the level of physical activity, the lower the perceived emotional health. The study, with its statistical sample, data collection, and information gathering, had a small sample size, which may have been a limitation. It is suggested that research be conducted with a much larger population and that include variables such as sleep and other factors that may influence health perception. Simply including physical activity as a factor does not definitively establish that it is the variable influencing students' health perception.
Relación entre actividad física y niveles de estrés en alumnos universitarios de la Universidad Santo Tomás
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-07-27) Moreno Vega , Valerie Andrea; Sánchez Rojas, Isabel Adriana; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001168657; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5545-0127
The main objective of this research article is to identify the correspondence between levels of physical activity and stress levels in university students at the Santo Tomás University. The research was carried out using a quantitative approach, with a descriptive scope and a crosssectional design, using a sample made up of 46 university students, distributed among 31 male students and 15 female students. To identify physical activity levels, the IPAQ test in its short version was applied, while the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) was used to measure perceived stress. The statistical process was executed using the IBM SPSS Statistics version 27 computer program, using frequencies, percentages, Shapiro-Wilk normality test, Spearman measurement and Chi-square test. The results showed that the majority of the population presented high levels of physical activity. However, they also indicated a high prevalence of perceived stress, with percentages greater than 93% in both sexes. Furthermore, the inferential analysis shows a relevant statistical analogy in relation to levels of physical activity and perceived stress (ρ = 0.226; p = 0.131), although a weak positive trend is observed. It is concluded that the practice of physical activity in this population was not clearly related to lower levels of stress, possibly due to other factors associated with the university context, such as academic demands, personal responsibilities and social demands. Finally, as a main recommendation, use a larger sample and use a population that does not perform physical activity to find significant differences.
Efectos de un plan de entrenamiento basado en la velocidad de ejecución (vbt) en la tasa de desarrollo de la fuerza (rfd) en jugadores de futbol masculino universitarios de la uptc,Tunja
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-07-06) Alarcón Barragan, Juan Sebastián; Guío Gutiérrez., Fernando; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0000471445; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0002421419; https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=A0BfF6YAAAAJ&hl=es&oi=ao; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6477-4502; ttps://orcid.org/0009-0003-2603-2975
Rate of force development (RFD) is a critical neuromuscular capacity for explosive performance in soccer, directly influencing actions such as sprints, jumps, and changes of direction that occur within very short time windows. Velocity-based training (VBT) has emerged as a methodological alternative that allows real-time autoregulation of training load, overcoming the limitations of traditional percentage-based training (%1RM). Despite growing international evidence on the effects of VBT on variables such as maximal strength, power, and jump performance, there remains a notable scarcity of studies examining its specific effect on RFD in university soccer populations, particularly within the Colombian and Latin American context. This project aims to measure the effects of a velocity-based training program on RFD in male university soccer players from the Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia (UPTC), Tunja campus. A quantitative, descriptive-scope, non-experimental study is proposed, with pretest-posttest measurements, in which participants will be assigned to an intervention (VBT) group and a control group. RFD will be assessed through Countermovement Jump (CMJ) and Squat Jump (SJ) tests, while training load will be controlled based on intra-set velocity loss thresholds. Results are expected to show significant improvements in RFD in the intervention group, contributing original and transferable scientific evidence for Colombian university sports training, as well as a methodological reference for implementing velocity-monitoring technologies in resource-limited settings.

Efectos del entrenamiento pliométrico sobre el salto vertical en jugadores de voleibol de playa: revisión sistemática
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-07-06) Gómez Angulo, Oscar David; Vargas Alfonso, Giancarlo; Castellanos Ruiz , Yazmin; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0002018670
Plyometric training has become established as a relevant strategy for improving vertical jump in volleyball; however, in beach volleyball, its analysis requires considering the particularities of sand as an unstable surface. This study aimed to analyze the available scientific evidence on the effects of plyometric training on the vertical jump of beach volleyball players. A systematic review was conducted following the guidelines of the 2020 PRISMA statement. The search was performed in ScienceDirect, Scopus, Redalyc, SciELO, and PubMed, using three search terms related to plyometric training, volleyball, beach volleyball, vertical jump, and lower limb power. An initial 137 records were identified; after removing duplicates, applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, and reviewing the full texts, 22 studies were included. The results were organized into six thematic categories: vertical jump improvement, sand surface, overload, aquatic training, applied technology, and complementary variables. Evidence shows that plyometrics improves vertical jump, power, and certain technical and tactical skills, although its effects depend on duration, frequency, progression, exercise specificity, athletic level, and training surface. In beach volleyball, the sand modifies jump mechanics and requires specific neuromuscular adaptations, so programs should not be directly transferred from hard surfaces. It is concluded that plyometrics is a useful strategy, provided it is planned with specificity, load control, and individualization in mind.

Métodos de Entrenamiento de Potencia y Velocidad en Futbolistas Jóvenes Revisión Narrativa de la Literatura con Búsqueda Sistematizada (2015-2026)
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-07-08) Pinilla Guzman, Sergio Alejandro; Moreno Medina, Gerardo Alberto; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001507194; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6714-1241
This narrative literature review with a systematized search aimed to analyze the scientific evidence published between 2015 and 2026 on training methods used to improve power and speed in youth soccer players. A systematic search was conducted in international scientific databases using predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and experimental studies evaluating strength training, plyometric training, combined training, and resisted sprint training were included. The findings indicate that combined strength and plyometric programs produce the most consistent improvements in acceleration, muscular power, and jumping performance, whereas maximal sprint speed shows smaller adaptations. In addition, programs lasting 6 to 12 weeks with a frequency of two to three sessions per week and progressive overload yielded the best outcomes in youth soccer players. It is concluded that combined training is the most effective strategy for simultaneously improving power and speed during youth player development when biological maturation and individual characteristics are considered.
Impacto del Factor Motivacional en Deportistas: Análisis de Reflexión
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-07-07) Gómez Bolívar, Santiago; Chinome Rodriguez, Jonathan; Castellanos Ruiz, Yasmin; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0002018670
This reflective article comparatively analyzes motivational dynamics in the sports fields of Brazil and Colombia, based on an international academic mission and an examination of scientific articles published between 2019 and 2025 in both countries. The objective was to understand how training and institutional structures influence athlete motivation and the sustainability of their athletic development. Methodologically, an interpretive qualitative approach was adopted, based on the thematic analysis proposed by Braun and Clarke (2021), which facilitated the organization of the information found. Indexed scientific articles from Brazil and Colombia were examined and compared, along with records of academic observations made in Brazilian sports institutions. The information was classified into categories such as motivational climate, autonomy, continuity of training, and institutional support, based on self-determination theory (Ryan & Deci, 2020). The analysis identified that sports environments that meet the fundamental psychological needs of autonomy, competence, and relatedness foster more independent and sustained motivation (Ryan & Deci, 2020). In this regard, the Brazilian model demonstrates a consolidated institutional structure and continuous planning that strengthens these processes. In contrast, significant progress has been observed in Colombia, although challenges related to organizational stability and the long-term development of athletes persist. It is concluded that sports motivation does not depend exclusively on the individual, but rather on coherent training systems that integrate structure, support, and a sense of belonging.

The purpose of this undergraduate thesis project is the design and development of a personalized training company aimed at promoting comprehensive well-being and improving individuals' quality of life through individualized and semi-personalized physical exercise programs. This proposal emerged from practical experiences developed at CR10 TRAINING, where it was evidenced that proper planning and supervision of physical exercise significantly contribute to improving physical fitness, mental health, and participant motivation. The project is based on a comprehensive approach that integrates physical training, healthy lifestyle education, and continuous support, promoting the development of physical capacities such as strength, endurance, and mobility, as well as enhancing self-confidence, discipline, and adherence to exercise. Additionally, the business viability of personalized training is analyzed as a competitive alternative within the fitness industry, characterized by a growing demand for individualized services. The Business Model Canvas methodology is used to structure the business model, allowing the organization and analysis of the strategic, operational, and financial components necessary to ensure the sustainability and long-term projection of the enterprise. It is concluded that personalized training represents an opportunity for impact in both the health and business sectors.

Introduction: The physical abilities of flexibility, speed, and agility are fundamental for motor development and athletic performance in childhood, especially in soccer. Objective: This research aimed to characterize these abilities in children in the Under-9 category of the Santoto Sports Club at the Santo Tomás University, Tunja campus. Methodology: A quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted. The sample consisted of 12 children aged 8 ± 0.5 years, selected using non-probability convenience sampling. Data was collected using the Illinois Agility Test to assess agility, the Sit and Reach Test to measure flexibility, and the 10-meter sprint test to assess running speed. Results: The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics with measures of central tendency and dispersion. The results showed individual differences in the participants' physical performance levels in the assessed abilities. In general, the values obtained were consistent with the characteristics of the child's developmental stage and the formative sports context. Conclusions: It is concluded that the characterization of flexibility, speed and agility constitutes a useful tool to know the physical condition of athletes in training and provide relevant information for the planning of training processes adjusted to the needs of the child population.
