Efecto De La Clase De Acondicionamiento Físico Del Deporte Curricular De La Universidad De Sonora en Las Capacidades Físicas Condicionales De Los Estudiantes

Abstract

The objective was to determine the effect of the weights-free physical conditioning class on the conditional physical capacities of the curricular sport students at the University of Sonora. To accomplish this, two groups were made: an experimental group who completed the class and the control group who did not take the course. Conditional physical abilities of speed, flexibility, arm, leg and abdominal strength and endurance were evaluated, before and after the intervention (12 weeks with or without curricular program) through a battery of tests. The control group was constituted of 22 students (18.1 years old) and the experimental group of 19 students (19.4 years old). The assessed curricular program did not reduce significantly the weight and BMI of the stu-dents. However, it was effective in maintaining or improving all physical conditional capacities, especially abdominal strength, flexibility and speed. Students who did not attend the curricular class lost flexibility and displacement speed, while the other abilities remained unchanged. Therefore, attending the physical conditioning weights-free class of the curricular sport course from University of Sonora improves the conditional physical capacities of students.
