Abstract

Introduction: Athletics is an Olympic sport that involves surpassing the athletic performance of opponents, whose performance brings together a set of disciplines that involve the use of various skills generated from initiation to sports specialization. Objective: Develop a qualitative scale for the evaluation of athletic performance in the 1500-meter in Chilean athletes between 35 and 44 years. Material and methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study, whose sample considers 258 male and 186 female máster athletes who participated in the 1500-meter dash test during the period 2014 to 2022, these data being obtained from the registry of the Federation of Máster Athletics of Chile. Athletic performance was determined through the time used to complete the test, while the qualitative scale was constructed with the percentiles <10, ≥10, ≥25, ≥50, ≥75, corresponding to the criteria excellent, very good, good, average and poor. Results: In the 1500-meter test. The average was 5:04:02 and 6:22:62 for males and females, respectively. In general, the standard error of the mean = 0:02:67, reporting significant differences p<0.01 and a large effect size of 1.85. Conclusion: The creation of the qualitative scale for the 1500-meter test allows evaluating and classifying the sporting level in athletes between 35 and 44 years.
