Correlación: fuerza de tronco y composición corporal de hombres de Bogotá

The research established the correlation of trunk flexion strength and body composition in men from Bogotá. The study was conducted at the SENA Physical Activity and Culture Training Center, 41 men between the ages of 18 and 30 (m = 23.44 + 5.81) voluntarily participated. Quantitative, des-criptive, cross-sectional and correlational study. The bioelectric impedance analysis (BIA) method was applied to assess body composition, using the tanita Fit Scan BC-585F® scale; the assessment of abdominal strength used Torso Check® equipment (Moreau, Green, Johnson and Moreau, 2001); finally, the SPSS® software (version 24.0 IBM for Windows) was used for sta-tistical analysis. Pearson’s correlation test was used to establish the relation-ships between the study variables; the significance level of p < 0.05 was set. Results obtained indicate that there is a moderate negative correlation that is evidenced by the percentage of fat mass and the trunk flexion strength. This indicates that the higher the fat percentage, the lower abdominal strength in flexion.
