dc.description	Objetivo: Analizar la composición corporal de personas que practican entrenamiento convencional con pesas y CrossFit en el municipio de Floridablanca, Santander. Método: Estudio cuantitativo de corte transversal con alcance descriptivo y comparativo, se tomó una muestra de (n=200) participantes, distribuidos equitativamente entre ambas modalidades de entrenamiento. El porcentaje de grasa corporal se evaluó mediante bioimpedancia eléctrica bajo condiciones estandarizadas, complementado con el registro de variables sociodemográficas y antropométricas. Resultados: Se evidenciaron diferencias significativas en el porcentaje de grasa según el sexo y el tipo de entrenamiento: Las mujeres de 18-24 años en CrossFit presentan un porcentaje de grasa significativamente menor (p<0.05), Diferencia significativa (p = 0.034). Los hombres de 25–30 años que practican CrossFit muestran menor grasa corporal promedio y Diferencia significativa (p = 0.041). Las mujeres de 31–35 años que practican CrossFit presentan menor grasa corporal. Conclusión: Los hallazgos sugieren que la modalidad de ejercicio puede repercutir de manera diferenciada en la composición corporal, aportando información relevante para el diseño de programas de acondicionamiento físico orientados a poblaciones activas. Estos resultados abren la puerta a futuras investigaciones que profundicen en la relación entre intensidad, frecuencia de entrenamiento y cambios en la composición corporal.
dc.description.abstract	Objective: To analyze the body composition of individuals who practice conventional weight training and CrossFit in the municipality of Floridablanca, Santander. Method: Quantitative crosssectional study with descriptive and comparative scope, a sample of (n=200) participants was taken, distributed equally between both training modalities. Body fat percentage was assessed using electrical bioimpedance under standardized conditions, supplemented by the recording of sociodemographic and anthropometric variables. Results: Significant differences in fat percentage were found according to gender and type of training: Women aged 18-24 years old who practice CrossFit have a significantly lower fat percentage (p<0.05), with a significant difference (p = 0.034). Men aged 25–30 who practice CrossFit show lower average body fat and a significant difference (p = 0.041). Women aged 31–35 who practice CrossFit have lower body fat. Conclusion: The findings suggest that the type of exercise can have a different impact on body composition, providing relevant information for the design of physical conditioning programs aimed at active populations. These results open the door to future research that delves deeper into the relationship between intensity, training frequency, and changes in body composition.
