(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
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2026-01-24) Fredy Alonso Prieto Sarmiento; Jorge Alexander Bejarano Garavito; Julián Soto Morcote
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. These tests were conducted over two weeks, simultaneously in both cities, ensuring the necessary recovery times and environmental conditions for their performance. The results revealed significant differences in body composition and maximum oxygen consumption in both populations and contexts.

Relación entre la velocidad media propulsiva y eficiencia de la acción motriz del ataque en Voleibol
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2025-07-17) Torres Ortiz, Gina Scarleth; Moreno Medina, Gerardo Alberto; Universidad Santo Tomas
The main objective of this research was to determine the relationship between the average propulsive speed and the effectiveness of the attack in volleyball players belonging to the USTA Tunja, to evaluate the average speed the AXON JUMP jump platform was used, which consists of a device to measure the height and speed of an athlete's jump in real time, likewise body measurement instruments were implemented, such as the stadiometer and the electrical bioimpedance scale, in order to have a better characterization of the population, the assessment of the technical gesture was carried out through the KINOVEA software, obtaining relevant data in the analysis of the technical gesture of the attack. The data were stored and analyzed in the SPSS STADISTIC 30.0.0 program. After having carried out an exhaustive analysis and respective evaluations of the collected data, it is possible to deduce that the volleyball players of the Santo Tomás University have a good performance in jumping and propulsive speed compared to university volleyball players evaluated in studies highlighted in the present study, but with significant differences between them; The average college-level player achieves a vertical jump of 53.02 cm, compared to the maximum jump achieved by college athletes from Santo Tomas University, which is 59.30 cm, performed by subject #1. Similarly, the subject with the lowest jumping ability was #4 with a maximum jump of 32.10 cm. However, the average jumping ability of the total population evaluated was 44.40 cm. With the aforementioned, it can be determined that athlete #1 is above average values. Some exceeded the average jump compared to previous studies, while others were below, reflecting variability in their physical abilities. The good performance in the Abalakov jump, related to the technical gesture of the attack, stands out. Although the athletes have a good ability to generate power, deficiencies were identified in aspects such as space-time perception, wrist placement, and landing. These points can be improved with the data obtained, which will allow for more effective training planning. Finally, it is concluded that average propulsive speed is crucial for attack execution, since players with higher speed showed better mechanical performance, which could improve attack effectiveness and overall player performance.

ANÁLISIS COMPARATIVO DE LA COMPOSICIÓN CORPORAL, CONDICIÓN FÍSICA Y HÁBITOS DE VIDA EN ESCOLARES URBANOS Y RURALES DE DOS MUNICIPIO DE BOYACÁ CON EDADES ENTRE LOS 16-17 AÑOS
(Universidad Santo Tomás, 2025-06-27) Huertas Rodriguez, Gustavo Adolfo; Daza Español, Cristian Erney; Lyda Fabiola Vallejo Castillo; Universidad Santo Tomás
The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between body composition, physical fitness, and lifestyle habits among urban and rural students aged 16 to 17 years in two municipalities of Boyacá, Colombia, in order to identify whether significant differences exist between urban and rural contexts. A quantitative, descriptive-correlational study with an empirical-analytical approach was conducted. A total of 60 students participated (30 from urban areas in Tunja and 30 from rural areas in Toca). The Global School-based Student Health Survey (GSHS) and the ALPHA-Fitness Battery were applied. Statistical analysis included normality tests (Shapiro-Wilk), descriptive statistics, and Spearman’s correlation. Urban students were taller (166.83 cm vs. 160.16 cm), had lower BMI (20.71 vs. 22.30), and lower body fat percentage (16.96% vs. 26.77%) compared to rural students. Urban students also showed better results in handgrip strength (33.63/32.26 kg vs. 30.53/29.97 kg) and lower limb strength (145.03 cm vs. 164.48 cm). Urban students demonstrated better body composition and physical performance than rural students, although they also reported higher consumption of ultra-processed foods and psychoactive substances. Sedentary behavior and low levels of physical activity were common in both groups. Body fat percentage was negatively associated with physical performance, highlighting the need to focus interventions on improving body composition rather than solely targeting BMI.
