Condición física y estilo de vida en docentes de ciencias del deporte de la U.D.C.A.

Background: physical condition and lifestyle are closely related to health and well-being. Assessing their components allows to establish the status of physical fitness and lifestyle in individuals to avoid the prevalence of diseases by promoting healthy habits at work environments. Aim: to determine the physical fitness and lifestyle in Sports Science professors at the University of Applied and Environmental Sciences. Methods: a cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted. 21 professors participated (Female n=6 and Male n=15; mean age 35,2 ± 7,4 y 45,5 ± 11,3 respectively). AFISAL Test Battery and Fantastic questionnaire were used to measure the respective components. Measures of central tendency, dispersion and percentages were used; final results were reported according to classification of reference tables. Results: dynamometry (F=46,0 ± 8,2 M=76,3 ± 12,2) balance (F=5,7 ± 4,0 M=3,1 ± 3,0); sit-ups (F=52,5 ± 19,0 M=59,7 ± 21,6); flexibility (F=31,7 ± 5,2 M=26,9 ± 13,4); vertical jump (F=31,3 ± 7,3 M=44,2 ± 9,6); VO2max (F=29,4 ± 6,1 M=30,4 ± 8,1); size (F=1,59 ± 0,04 M=1,70 ± 0,06); weight (F=59,4 ± 7,9 M=77,1 ± 7,7); BMI (F=23,7 ± 3,2 M=26,7 ± 2,3); WHR (F=0,75 ± 0,02 M=0,90 ± 0,07); body fat percentage (F=30,9 ± 6,6 M=25,0 ± 4,6); Fantastic Questionnaire (F=103,0 ± 7,0 M=104,4 ± 10,6). Conclusions: according to the highest percentage reported by category, 42,9% of the sample presented low levels of hand grip strength; 66,7% had good balance capacity; 38,1% normal abdominal muscular endurance; 33,3% trunk flexibility within normal values; 76,2% adequate explosive strength of the lower body and 47,6% standard levels of aerobic capacity. BMI reported that 61,9% were overweight/obese, WHR 81,0% with lower risk and 57,1% with high body fat percentage. The Fantastic questionnaire showed that 52,4% practice good lifestyle habits.
