Abstract

This study was carried out with the objective of comparing the levels of physical fitness in second-year students of the unified general high school of the Herlinda Toral and San Francisco de Sales Educational Unit. The methodology was based on a quantitative approach with a non-experimental design, with a cross-sectional descriptive-comparative scope. The population corresponded to 2600 students from the aforementioned educational institutions. To select the sample, a type of non-probabilistic convenience sampling was applied, resulting in 65 students who met the established inclusion criteria. The high-priority ALPHA Fitness battery of physical fitness tests was selected for data collection. Among the main results, it stands out that no significant differences were found between the students of both educational institutions. Regarding the level of physical condition, a medium level of physical performance was found for the majority of the subjects evaluated, with the number of participants who reached a high level being low.
