Resumen

Objetivo: Este estudio tiene como objetivo analizar la proximidad de la relación entre el peso corporal (PC) y el índice de masa corporal (IMC) con la condición física en jugadores de fútbol amateur. Materiales y métodos: Participaron 31 jugadores de fútbol masculino entre 18 y 22 años. El diseño de la investigación fue un estudio transversal. El análisis estadístico fue la prueba de correlación de Pearson (p<0,05). Resultados: El valor medio y la categoría de velocidad (3,59 segundos) y menos (>4,6 segundos), potencia muscular de las piernas (69,42 cm) y muy buena (62-69 cm), resistencia muscular (28,90 veces) en categoría buena (20-28 veces), la resistencia anaeróbica media fue de 50,23 segundos con una categoría moderada (49,90-55,29 segundos), la agilidad media fue de 13,60 segundos con una categoría menos (<25 segundos), y la flexibilidad media fue de 25,22 cm con categoría (>25 cm). El valor promedio de la resistencia muscular abdominal fue de 38,87 veces en una categoría moderada (30-49 veces). La capacidad aeróbica promedio fue de 31,47 mL/kg/min en una categoría moderada (27-45 mL/kg/min). El análisis de correlación de Pearson mostró una correlación negativa débil entre el peso corporal y el IMC con la velocidad, la resistencia anaeróbica, la agilidad y la flexibilidad. Por otro lado, se encontró una correlación positiva débil entre el peso corporal y el IMC con la potencia muscular de las piernas, la resistencia muscular, la resistencia muscular abdominal y la capacidad aeróbica. Conclusión: un aumento en el peso corporal y el IMC será seguido por una reducción en la velocidad, la resistencia anaeróbica, la agilidad y la flexibilidad. De lo contrario, un aumento en el peso corporal y el IMC será continuado por un aumento en la potencia muscular de las piernas, la resistencia muscular, la resistencia muscular abdominal y la capacidad aeróbica.
