Análisis comparativo de la condición física e índice cintura-talla entre los estudiantes de octavo y noveno de educación general básica en la Unidad Educativa Chiquintad

Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate the differences between physical fitness and waist-height index in eighth and ninth grade students at the Chiquintad Educational Unit. Using a quantitative approach and a non-experimental design, these variables were compared in a group of students. The results revealed significant differences in variables such as age, waist-height index, right-left hand pressure strength, endurance and long jump, and only in the waist circumference and 4x10 speed tests were no significant differences found. In summary, when comparing the two courses, differences were found in physical condition and waist-height index between eighth and ninth year students.
