Abstract

The objective of the present study is to evaluate the behaviors of the heart rate of a group of Bucaramanga hikers during hiking and also determine some sociodemographic variables of the population under study, the sample consisted of 48 hikers from a group called walkers on Saturdays with which a descriptive analysis of the characteristics of interest in the study population was carried out. In the case of the qualitative variables, frequencies and percentages were presented, in relation to the continuous variables the distribution of the data was assessed with the Shapiro-Wilk test. The results obtained through this investigation confirm that women report minimum, medium and maximum heart rates higher than men and a correlation is also found on the time of practice in months and the average heart rate during the journey being this correlation negative because as the practice time of the walkers increases, the average heart rate decreases during the routes and vice versa. Finally, research is suggested with larger samples and from various groups of walkers in the department. Keywords: Heart Rate, Hiking, Physical Activity, Sedentary Lifestyle, Practice.
