Determination of basic parameters of physical fitness of Ecuadorian population. MINDE-UG Project

Description: This research project determines the basic indicators used in the sciences of Physical Activity and Sports in order to assess the population characteristics in functional capabilities and the possibilities of athletic performance. A representative sample of 6,902 individuals was used to study the Vertical Jump Power; 3,066 individuals to study the Horizontal Jump Power; 10,211 individuals to study the Local Muscular Power (Abs); 10,213 individuals for Rapid Strength and Agility, 10,285 for Peak Oxygen Uptake and 10,285 individuals studied with the Trunk Flexibility test. This article evaluates the information generally because it totals real data of subjects aged between 5 to 18 years old without strata distinction. It describes the untrained population of Ecuador from the quantitative point of view. It corresponds to a segment of a study that defines national parameters aimed at the development of sports.
