Pérdida de altura en el salto con contramovimiento e incremento en el lactato sanguíneo como indicadores de fatiga en jugadores juveniles de futbol sala
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-07-06) Fuentes Ríos, Carlos Andrés; Silva Duarte, Cesar Augusto; Soto Morcote, Julián Mauricio; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001382594; https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=y29nHGgAAAAJ&hl=es; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0699-2533
Background: Decreased countermovement jump (CMJ) capacity and increased blood lactate (BL) concentration are normal at the end of futsal matches, so quantifying their magnitude is useful for monitoring exertion. Objective: To quantify the decrease in CMJ height and the increase in BL as indicators of fatigue in youth futsal players who live and compete at high altitude (2554 m above sea level). Method: A quantitative study with explanatory scope was conducted on a sample of 14 male players (16.5 ± 0.76 years; 62.3 ± 6.53 kg; 170.35 ± 6.49 cm) from the Cundinamarca U-17 team. These players were evaluated during a qualifying competition, which included three CMJ attempts and a finger-prick blood sample taken before and after each match. Using the statistical package R (version 4.5.1), a normality test (Shapiro-Wilk-Hollander) was performed, determining a non-parametric approach. This was followed by descriptive statistical analysis, correlation (Spearman test), and paired mean comparison (Wilcoxon test), with an alpha of 0.05. Results: The correlation between lactate sprint (LS) and countermovement jump (CMJ) was not statistically significant at any point (rho = 0.055, p = 0.654), while the difference between pre- and post-match measurements in both CMJ and LS was significant (W = 0.000; p < 0.05). Conclusion: both CMJ and LS can be used as indicators of fatigue in youth futsal players.
Pasantía internacional en Formación Académica en Dinamometría Electromecánica Funcional en la Universidad de Granada - España
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-07-08) Maldonado Quinchoa, Jorge Armando; Soto Morcote, Julián Mauricio; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001382594; https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=es&user=y29nHGgAAAAJ&view_op=list_works; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0699-2533
This report describes the international internship carried out at the Faculty of Sport Sciences of the University of Granada (Spain), within the IDAFISAD research group (CTS-642), as the degree modality for the Master's Program in Sports Training and Physical Activity at Universidad Santo Tomás, Tunja. The stay took place from September 1 to November 27, 2025, with a total of 260 certified academic hours, and aimed to develop specialized theoretical and practical competencies in Functional Electromechanical Dynamometry (FEMD), a technology that allows muscle strength to be assessed and trained in a multi-joint manner under isometric, isokinetic, and isotonic conditions, with applications in sports training, health, and clinical rehabilitation. The training was structured around two axes: autonomous participation as an evaluator in the PREPADOL research project (Predisposition to Non-Specific Low Back Pain), performing 25 complete dynamometric assessments on adults with chronic non-specific low back pain using the MYO QUALITY M1 dynamometer in isokinetic, isometric, and motor-control protocols; and training in Health-Adapted Exercise and training methodology in physiotherapy (36 hours), complemented by a systematic review of 76 scientific articles from the IDAFISAD repository. Concrete outputs include FEMD Level I certification, formal affiliation with the IDAFISAD CTS-642 group as a research member, an international presentation at the V Research Seedbeds Meeting (USTA), and the initiation of the systematic review “Effects of isokinetic training on muscle hypertrophy in healthy adults,” registered in PROSPERO (CRD420251146495) and co-authored with Dr. Waleska Reyes-Ferrada. These outcomes strengthen the author's research profile, consolidate a channel of academic cooperation between Universidad Santo Tomás and the University of Granada, and open concrete pathways for transferring this technology to the Colombian context.
Efecto de un programa de entrenamiento interválico de intensidad moderada de 8 semanas en adultos mayores hipertensos
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-07-07) Castellanos Laiton, Seynel; Castellanos Menjura, Erika Viviana; Bohórquez Campos, Fernando Alberto; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001657895; https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=37AK1kUAAAAJ&hl=en; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8651-216X
Introduction: Arterial hypertension in older adults is a health problem, and physical exercise has been established as an important non-pharmacological strategy for its management. Objective: The study determined the effect of a moderateintensity interval training program optimized functional independence and cardiovascular control in untrained older adults with hypertension and characterized their baseline quality of life. Methodology: A quantitative, explanatory, preexperimental study with a single-group pretest-posttest design was conducted. Forty-five older adults with hypertension from Chiquinquirá, Colombia, completed an 8-week program with four weekly sessions lasting 40-45 minutes. The senior fitness test, the Whoqol- old questionnaire at baseline, and serial blood pressure and heart rate measurements were used. Results: significant improvements were observed in all six functional tests. systolic blood pressure decreased by 20.04 mmHg from week 1 to week 8, diastolic blood pressure decreased by 9.87 mmHg, and resting heart rate decreased by 3.44 beats per minute. The Whoqol-old questionnaire showed acceptable internal consistency and baseline scores that were moderately favorable in autonomy, activities, and social participation. Discussion: The findings are consistent with evidence linking moderate-intensity interval exercise with functional and hemodynamic improvements; however, given the single-group design, the results should be interpreted as preliminary evidence rather than definitive causal proof. Conclusions: Moderate-intensity interval training is an accessible, and potentially effective strategy to optimize functional independence and cardiovascular review in untrained older adults with hypertension.
Efecto de un programa de entrenamiento basado en el control de la velocidad y en el modelo LTAD sobre el rendimiento atlético y neuromuscular de patinadoras cucuteñas de 11 a 13 años
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-07-06) Pulido Davila, Adolfo; Córdoba Jiménez, Nicolas; Baena Marín, Mateo; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001993064; https://scholar.google.es/citations?user=9FBs2LAAAAAJ&hl=es; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9148-4842
Background: Roller speed skating is a dynamic sport that emphasizes speed, technique, coordination, and endurance. It is highly demanding, and performance relies on the ability to produce high levels of lower-limb force and apply them at high speeds within short timeframes. These demands must be addressed through neuromuscular adaptations that influence athletic performance, which can be optimized with strength training. Objective: To analyze the effect of a 16-week training program based on velocity control and the Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) model on the athletic and neuromuscular performance of 11- to 13-year-old female skaters from Cúcuta. Methods: A quasi-experimental, longitudinal study was conducted with a sample of 10 female skaters. Participants were assigned to two non-equivalent groups differentiated by maturation status: near Peak Height Velocity (Group C; age 13.4 ± 0.6 years; proximity to PHV -0.85 to -1.87 years) and far from PHV (Group L; age 11.5 ± 0.2 years; proximity to PHV -2.46 to -3.0 years). The effect of the intervention was measured through Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) including Countermovement Jump (CMJ), Squat Jump (SJ), 20-meter sprint velocity (Vel20m), and loads equivalent to 10%, 25%, 40%, and 55% of the athletes' body mass. Additionally, movement velocity for Group C was controlled in each session using Velocity-Based Training (VBT). Results: The intervention time had a statistically significant effect (p ≤ 0.01) on the evaluated KPIs. Furthermore, the time*maturation interaction at the 55% load led to better results in Group C due to a superior adaptation to strength training, progressively improving movement velocity at this load. Conclusion: A strength training program based on velocity control and structured under the LTAD model is effective in improving athletic and neuromuscular performance in 11- to 13-year-old female skaters.
Uso de Modelos de Lenguaje de Gran Tamaño en la Programación de Entrenamientos de Atletismo Recreativo Artículo Técnico sobre un Protocolo de Investigación para Estudio Comparativo con Entrenador Experto
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-07-06) Viera Molina, Francisco Javier; Bohórquez, Fernando; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001657895
Introduction: Recreational athletics has grown significantly, increasing the need for individualized, evidence-based training programs for non-professional runners. Large language models (LLMs) could generate personalized plans, but their effectiveness and safety compared to expert coaches have not yet been evaluated. Methodology: This study applies a quantitative approach with an explanatory scope and a randomized, parallel experimental design . A sample of 30 recreational runners will be randomly assigned (1:1 ratio) to two 12-week intervention arms: an experimental group operating with an automated training plan via ChatGPT (5.1 Thinking model) and a control group prescribed by an expert coach. Both cohorts will follow a pyramidal intensity distribution combined with concurrent strength and endurance training. Outcome measures include final 10 km field test time as the primary endpoint, body composition via bioimpedance, and metabolic parameters through continuous incremental cardiopulmonary exercise testing. Discussion: The study will evaluate whether LLMs can approximate the quality of expert planning, identifying potential advantages (accessibility, rapid availability, personalization) and risks (biases, prescription errors, lack of context, hallucinations).
Análisis Biomecánico de la Zancada y su Relación con la Eficiencia del Desplazamiento en Patinadores de Velocidad de la Selección Boyacá
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-07-06) Pineda Quiroga, Robert Danilo; Triana Quijano, Julián Camilo; Vallejo Castillo, Lyda Fabiola; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0000005538; https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=rWmLZYQAAAAJ&hl=en; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6834-7858
The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between cadence and stride length, as well as their impact on the displacement efficiency of speed skaters from the Boyacá Team, through a biomechanical analysis of the technical gesture during straight-line displacement. Methodologically, the study was framed within a quantitative approach, with a single-group, cross-sectional, descriptive-correlational design, involving 13 athletes from the pre-youth, youth, and senior categories, all with a competitive history in national events.For data collection, technological tools such as high-speed cameras, Kinovea software, and GPS devices were used, allowing the analysis of kinematic and dynamic variables such as stride length and frequency, support and flight times, joint angles, speed, acceleration, and power.The data obtained from the analysis of the technical gesture of the stride were organized, processed, and analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics software version 30.0.0. After performing statistical processing and a detailed evaluation of the collected information, the results showed that stride length presented a moderate positive correlation with speed and power, as well as a negative correlation with the time spent in the 200-meter test, suggesting that a greater stride length enhances athletic performance. In contrast, stride frequency showed weak and even negative correlations with efficiency indicators, indicating that an excessive increase in cadence does not necessarily translate into better performance. Similarly, support time showed a positive relationship with performance, highlighting its relevance in the generation and transfer of force during displacement.The results allowed the identification of different biomechanical profiles among the evaluated athletes, showing that some base their performance on a greater stride length, while others do so on a higher frequency of execution. These findings confirm that the efficiency of the technical gesture is determined by the interaction of mechanical and physiological variables specific to each athlete. Likewise, power established itself as a determining factor in sports performance, showing a positive association with the increase in speed.In conclusion, the study confirms the existence of a significant relationship between cadence, stride length, and displacement efficiency, highlighting the importance of maintaining an optimal balance between these variables for performance in speed skating. The findings obtained provide relevant scientific evidence that can guide the optimization of training processes, technical refinement, and the individualization of sports preparation strategies.
Tendencias Actuales del Entrenamiento Deportivo en el Voleibol Piso de Colombia y Brasil
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-07-07) Arias Pulido, Andrés Felipe; Bohorquez, Fernando; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0001657895; https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=37AK1kUAAAAJ&hl=es; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8651-216X
The volleyball scene in Brazil and Colombia is undergoing rapid professional development, more so in Brazil than in Colombia. This development focuses on the constant updating of evidence-based training methodologies, the adaptation of assessment and monitoring technologies—from inertial sensors to tactical analysis platforms—and the integration of data analysis to improve practical decision-making regarding training load, recovery, and injury prevention. The inclusion criterion was a systematic search of scientific articles and official documents published between 2016 and 2025, consulted in academic databases such as PubMed, SciELO, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. Priority was given to studies applied to professional leagues and national teams. Exclusion criteria included outdated or inconclusive information. A narrative review is justified in this context, and it is pertinent to note how these studies enrich the literature that has gradually grown over the last decade (2016–2025), contributing to the improvement of training in this discipline. This includes reviews and studies applied in high-level leagues, with Brazil as a world leader in this sport due to its competitive organization (Superliga), and Colombia, which has been advancing in processes of sports characterization, training, and adoption of technological analysis tools (Debien et al., 2018; de Leeuw et al., 2022; Duarte et al., 2023; Nascimento et al., 2023). This sport is one of the most complex because when it is your turn to act, if you fail, the point is lost, making it a highly competitive and technical sport.
Variaciones del Ciclo Menstrual y su Relación con el Entrenamiento de la Fuerza
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-04-08) Calero Espitia, Gloria Cenaida; Pomar Estrada, Diana Valentina; Hutchison Salazar, Luis Rafael; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0000027412; https://scholar.google.es/citations?user=BVeKeA8AAAAJ&hl=es; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5836-5916
This reflection article examines the relationship between the menstrual cycle (MC) and strength training in women. To this end, a critical review of recent research was conducted, focusing on variables such as maximal strength, protein synthesis, neuromuscular performance, and perceived exertion across different phases of the cycle. Methodological analyses addressing persistent challenges in phase classification, hormonal confirmation, and research design consistency were also considered. Overall, the reviewed literature suggests that no specific phase of the menstrual cycle consistently enhances or limits strength performance. The variations reported tend to be small and highly dependent on individual responses. Additionally, recurrent methodological limitations were identified, particularly concerning sample sizes, hormonal validation, and participant representativeness. The reflection further incorporates a contextual perspective informed by the authors’ academic, professional, and practical experience, including an academic mission carried out at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio). This component enabled a contrast between scientific evidence and real training environments, broadening the understanding of the phenomenon beyond a purely physiological interpretation.
La Danza Urbana Como Deporte Artístico, Intersección Entre Arte y Rendimiento Deportivo en Colombia y Brasil. Reflexión narrativa
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-03-09) Hernández Becerra, Laura Daniela; Hutchison Salazar, Luis Rafael; Universidad Santo Tomás; https://scienti.minciencias.gov.co/cvlac/visualizador/generarCurriculoCv.do?cod_rh=0000027412; https://scholar.google.es/citations?user=BVeKeA8AAAAJ&hl=es
This reflective article analyzes urban dance as a discipline situated at the intersection between artistic expression and athletic performance, based on the experience of an academic mission carried out in Brazil and the experience as a dancer of different styles and genres for more than 8 years. The objective was to understand the trends of this transition towards high performance, contextualizing its cultural role, contrasting the socioeconomic and sports factors that drive its professionalization, and evaluating its impact as a tool for social cohesion. Methodologically, a qualitative interpretative and interdisciplinary approach was employed, which integrated a documentary review, participant observation in the PUC-Rio seminar, and a single semi-structured interview with the director of Olympic sports of the Club de Regatas do Flamengo. The results show that, although urban dance demands a physical and cognitive rigor comparable to elite sports, Its competitive development is strongly limited by the absence of systematic-standardized measurement manuals and the reliance on empirical subjective evaluations, which increases the risk of injuries and does not recognize athletic potential. It is concluded that to consolidate this practice as a high-performance artistic sport, it is essential to implement quantitative evaluation models, require certifications for coaches aligned with international standards such as the WDSF or HHI, and promote a formal hierarchical institutional articulation within the National Sports System.
Caracterización morfofuncional comparativa entre karatecas élite y amateur colombianos: implicaciones en el rendimiento deportivo
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-01-29) Peralta Cuellar, Jose David; Acosta, Viviana; Cardozo, Luis; Universidad Santo Tomas
This study aimed to characterize and compare the morphofunctional and neuromuscular profile of elite and amateur Colombian karate athletes. A cross-sectional study with a quantitative and descriptive approach was conducted. The sample consisted of 22 youth and senior karate athletes from the Colombian National Team, regional leagues, and a developmental club registered with the Colombian Karate Federation (FCK). The evaluated variables included body composition assessed by bioelectrical impedance; countermovement jump (CMJ), squat jump (SJ), and Abalakov jump (ABK) height, all recorded using an inertial sensor; estimated maximal strength in the half-squat measured with a linear encoder; and general agility assessed with the T-Test and sport-specific agility evaluated through the Taekwondo-Specific Agility Test (TSAT), adapted to the technical demands of karate-do and measured using Witty photocells. Elite karate athletes achieved higher values in CMJ, SJ, and ABK (p < 0.05; d = 0.93–1.18; 95% CI = -0.04 to -2.08), showing large to very large effect sizes. Significant differences were also observed in the elastic index (p = 0.006; d = 1.17; 95% CI). Likewise, the elite group demonstrated significantly greater estimated maximal strength (p = 0.004) and both general and sport-specific agility (p < 0.001). Muscle mass showed a positive correlation with jump height (ρ > 0.68), whereas body fat percentage was negatively associated with neuromuscular performance (ρ < –0.65). Finally, from a practical sports perspective, these findings are fundamental for talent identification processes and training monitoring.
Relación Entre Antropometría, Composición Corporal y Potencia Inferior en Velocistas de Atletismo de (100-400m) Categoría Élite de Bogotá
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-01-21) Rodriguez Aponte, John Freddy; Forero Castro, José del Carmen; Rodriguez, Sofia; Universidad Santo Tomás
ABSTRACT The present study aimed to determine the relationship between body composition profile, anthropometric profile, and lower-limb kinetic-chain power in elite 100-, 200-, and 400-meter sprinters from the Bogotá Athletics League. The sample consisted of 19 adult athletes (14 men and 5 women). Anthropometric data (height, wingspan, thigh and calf circumferences) and body composition data (lean mass, muscle mass, and fat mass) were collected using bioimpedance. Lower-limb power was assessed through jump tests (CMJ and SJ) using a motion sensor. The recorded variables were analyzed and correlated using IBM SPSS Statistics version 29.0. Significant correlations (p < 0.05) were found between anthropometric variables, body composition, and neuromuscular performance indicators, varying by event specialty. In the 100 m group, greater lower-limb muscle mass and lower fat levels were associated with better elasticity index and higher jump power, with calf circumference showing notable influence. For 200 m athletes, jump power was related to total leg muscle mass. In the 400 m event, height, wingspan, and limb circumferences stood out as influential in power production. In conclusion, the results confirm that anthropometric profile and muscle development condition vertical jump power according to event specialty. These findings may enable the Bogotá Athletics League to establish scientifically based reference profiles that will support the design of individualized training plans, talent identification, and decision-making.
Tendencias en la Metodología del entrenamiento de la fuerza en canotaje de velocidad, un comparativo entre Colombia y Brasil

Sprint canoeing presents various competitive phases, including the initial acceleration, mid-race, and final stages. Physical preparation must be geared towards meeting the physical and energetic demands of the competition. Strength is thus a key determinant of performance in sprint canoeing, requiring a methodological approach that addresses each of these phases. The scientific evidence presented in this article outlines how strength training has been conducted in canoeing, from the theory of strength manifestations (maximum strength, power, explosive strength, and strength endurance) to modern concepts such as applied strength, strength development through speed, and strength reserve percentages. In general, developing strength capacity is fundamental to the comprehensive training of canoeists. This article aims to present and compare strength training methodologies for canoeing in Colombia and Brazil, drawing on the prior experience of Colombian athletes and coaches in the sport, as well as the international internship undertaken in Brazil, specifically at the Flamengo Rowing Club. It is worth noting that Brazil has been a prominent country in recent Olympic Games. As a result of this internship and considering our significant experience, we propose a strength training methodology for sprint canoeing, supported by recent scientific evidence, field experience, and knowledge gained through the exchange of expertise. This article is considered highly relevant for building theoretical and practical knowledge in both competitive and academic settings, providing valuable information for those interested in canoeing and for future research.
Del calentamiento físico a la activación integral_ experiencias y metodologías en el fútbol formativo entre Colombia y Brasil.
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-01-19) Ramírez Garcia, David Santiago; Martinez Martinez, Diego Alejandro; Bohórquez Campos, Fernando Alberto
This narrative review allows us to analyze contemporary warm-up methodologies in youth soccer (ages 12-15) from the perspective of new trends in sports pedagogy. It identifies key transferable components from the experience of the academic mission to Brazil that can positively impact the holistic development of young soccer players. The methodology used is a narrative review of the literature from 2015 to the present, complemented by the experience of the academic mission to Brazil. This review contrasts the methodologies used in the Colombian context, taking into account some cultural aspects of both nations. Our interest is not in comparing, but rather in strengthening our work as coaches and understanding that the warm-up has transcended its basic function of physical activation to become a comprehensive pedagogical phase encompassing mental, cognitive, and tactical components.
Efectos del HIIT y el MICT sobre la composición corporal y la aptitud cardiorrespiratoria en futbolistas adolescentes de Sogamoso, Boyacá
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-01-23) Gómez Archila, David Leonardo; Guaidia Ruiz, Juan Esteban; Cordoba Jimenez, Nicolas; Universidad Santo Tomas
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) and moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) on body composition and cardiorespiratory fitness in youth soccer players aged 15–17 years. This pre-experimental study used a convenience sample of 30 players (15–17 years), allocated to HIIT or MICT for 6 weeks (2 sessions/week). The study was conducted at moderate altitude (2,560 m above sea level). HIIT consisted of bouts performed at 85–95% of maximal heart rate (HRmax) with active recovery, whereas MICT was performed continuously at 65–75% of theoretical HRmax. Training intensity was monitored in real time using a Polar H10 chest strap and ratings of perceived exertion (RPE). Pre- and post-intervention assessments included body composition via bioelectrical impedance and indirect VO₂max estimation using the Léger test. Both expected and observed outcomes indicated improvements in VO₂max in both groups, with a slight advantage for HIIT; VO₂max increased by +5.55% (HIIT) and +3.29% (MICT), with no significant changes in body composition after 6 weeks. In conclusion, both methods are effective for improving VO₂max over short periods; HIIT yields a greater relative gain and time efficiency, whereas MICT is suitable for consolidating aerobic base and supporting adherence. The choice of method should consider training goals, available time, and progression.
Composición corporal y pliometría de las deportistas del equipo femenino juvenil de voleibol de la I.E. INEM Carlos Arturo Torres de la Ciudad de Tunja
(Universidad Santo Tomás) RAMIREZ MOTTA, ANGIE TATIANA; VELA, JOHN ALEXANDER; SOTO, JULIAN
This research will allow for the objective identification of the variables related to body composition and plyometric abilities that influence the athletic performance of the female volleyball players on the youth team at the INEM Carlos Arturo Torres Educational Institution in Tunja. Evaluating these variables in young athletes is fundamental, as they are at a key stage of physical and functional development, where appropriate intervention can maximize their athletic potential and prevent imbalances that compromise their athletic progress or generate a risk of injury. Furthermore, understanding the current state of their body composition—in terms of muscle mass, body fat, and body mass index—and their levels of explosive strength will allow for the establishment of baselines for long-term performance monitoring. The findings will serve as a basis for appropriately guiding training plans, adjusting loads, intensities, and objectives according to the group's actual needs. This will allow for the design of a more efficient plan that enhances the specific physical capabilities of the players, promotes their comprehensive development as athletes, and contributes to improving their performance in intercollegiate competitions.

Composición corporal, somatotipo y condición física en la Selección Colombia femenina de Flag Football
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2025-08-01) Corredor Hernandez, Juan Carlos; Catacoli Baicue, Fabio Enrique; Soto Morcote, Julian Mauricio; Universidad Santo Tomas
Flag football is a variant of American football that has gained popularity in recent years, particularly among women, due to its competitive dynamics and inclusion in international events. As this sport becomes more established in Colombia, it is essential to understand the physical and morphological characteristics of the female athletes who form part of national teams, in order to guide selection processes, training, and physical preparation. The analysis of body composition, somatotype, and physical fitness provides key information for designing personalised strategies that enhance athletic performance and help prevent injuries. These components allow for a deeper understanding of the athletes’ physical profiles and serve as a baseline for long-term monitoring. Despite the growth of flag football in the country, there is a notable lack of scientific studies characterising high-level female athletes in this discipline. Therefore, this research aimed to describe the body composition, somatotype, and physical fitness of the senior women's national flag football team of Colombia. The data obtained seeks to contribute to the development of future studies in the field and serve as a support tool for coaches, fitness trainers, and sports professionals involved in this context.
Caracterización fisiológica y antropométrica de un equipo profesional de jugadoras de futbol de salón de la cuidad de Tunja
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2025-07-21) Herrera Chaparro, Gustavo Adolfo; Niño Molano, Martha Andrea; Vallejo Castillo, Lyda Fabiola; Universidad Santo Tomas seccional Tunja
In Colombia, women's indoor soccer has experienced significant growth, particularly in cities like Tunja, where professional teams face high physical, technical, and tactical demands. This discipline is characterized by its explosive movements, frequent high-intensity demands, and high cardiovascular effort, which requires players with specific anthropometric and physiological profiles to enhance their athletic performance and reduce the risk of injury. However, there has been a lack of research on this subject, especially in Colombia, examining these variables in women's indoor soccer teams. This limits the design of test-based training programs tailored to the specific context. Based on this problem, the purpose of this study was to physiologically and anthropometrically characterize the professional team of women's indoor soccer players from the city of Tunja through the implementation of indirect field tests. A descriptive cross-sectional methodology was used, taking a group of 11 professional indoor soccer players from the senior category as the object of study. Tests such as the Illinois Agility Test (agility), Course Navette (aerobic capacity), 20-meter sprint (linear speed), Sit and Reach (flexibility), Abalakov jump (power with push-off), Jump Squat, and Counter Movement Jump (lower body explosive strength) were administered. The collected data were analyzed to identify relevant physiological and morphological patterns. The results showed that the players have a homogeneous body structure, which could indicate that they share the same training routine. Some trends related to playing position were detected, with body mass being more prominent in the pivots, although without statistically significant differences. Similarly, a correlation was observed between body fat and speed: higher body fat indicates lower speed; and between jump height and motor recovery, which could compromise locomotor performance and efficiency in explosive actions. Furthermore, the players demonstrated an adequate level of lower body power and good aerobic capacity. From a biomechanical perspective, bone structure was proportional and functional; however, it was evident that an increase in femoral length could have a negative impact on take-off velocity. Another variable evaluated was rest time. It was found that some players who slept less than 7 hours a day demonstrated good performance, which contrasts with the literature reviewed and suggests that individual factors may be an influence. The performance of players with and without injuries was compared, and the differences were minimal, although slight variations were observed in jumping power. This research represents an important contribution to the understanding of women's indoor soccer in regional contexts. The results present useful information for the creation of personalized and targeted training programs, injury prevention, and the promotion of equity in sports, in accordance with Sustainable Development Goals 3 (Good Health and Well-being), 5 (Gender Equality), and 10 (Reduced Inequalities).
Análisis comparativo del somatotipo, VO₂máx y velocidad en futbolistas Sub-15 de las ciudades de Tunja y Valledupar: influencia de la altitud en el rendimiento físico juvenil
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2025-07-18) Granados García, Robinson Javier; Gnecco Gutiérrez, José Eduardo; Soto Moscote, Julián Mauricio; Universidad Santo Tomás
The practice of soccer and its contribution to physical development in youth is largely determined by an athlete's body composition and the altitude at which they train. Speed and maximum oxygen consumption are determining variables that characterize this game, which soccer players must develop for optimal performance in their athletic and competitive levels. However, the environment and altitude determine the physical adaptations that can be achieved through proper and consistent training. Therefore, we propose to determine and compare the somatotype, VO₂max, and speed of U-15 soccer players in two Colombian cities with completely different environments and altitudes. On the one hand, Valledupar, at 160 meters above sea level, and on the other, Tunja, at 2,820 meters above sea level. A total of 30 athletes were involved: 15 from Tunja and 15 from Valledupar (n=30). These were physically active athletes with a sports career of more than two years within their clubs. Anthropometric measurements were taken using a restricted ISAK profile (21 measurements), a 20-meter Course Navette test to measure maximum oxygen consumption, and 20-meter speed test to obtain maximum speed.
