Pasantía en el Instituto para el Fomento del Deporte, la Recreación, el Aprovechamiento del Tiempo Libre y la Educación Física de Barrancabermeja

Abstract

This practical exercise was carried out at the Institute for the Promotion of Sports, Recreation, Leisure, and Physical Education of Barrancabermeja (INDERBA) during the first and second semesters of 2025. Its purpose was to support the organization of the Intercollegiate Games at the municipal level and to systematize the registration, participation, and results processes for the sports activities. The official database of 3,108 athletes registered in 27 educational institutions was analyzed, and participant observation was conducted at technical meetings, registration days, and competitions. Data collection revealed that 73% of registrations were concentrated in two specific time periods, a 20% gender gap (60% male, 40% female), and participation from categories other than the Youth and Pre-Youth categories, in which the majority of registered athletes were enrolled. Finally, it is noted that in the departmental qualifying phase Barrancabermeja obtained two championships (pre-youth female and male futsal) and a runner-up title (youth male futsal) with qualification for the national phase.
