This study examines the impact of a program of functional exercise with elastic resistance band (centered on joint multi-resistance elastic band; experimental group, EG) versus an entertainment content (recreational exercise program compared to a recreational exercise program; control group, CG). It also examines the physical fitness in older active people who are over 60 years. Fifty-four volunteers who are residents of the community have an age range (70.57 ± 5.46 years). Before and after the intervention, physical fitness was determined through the Senior Fitness Test (strength, flexibility, aerobic endurance, and agility-dynamic balance) and the Manual Dynamometry Test. In the comparison INTER groups, the EG in flexibility improves p < 0.05 and in dynamic agility-balance p < 0.01. INTRA groups, EG and CG in leg and arm strength, presented improvements p < 0.001 and in manual isometry European Scientific Journal August 2017 edition Vol.13, No.24 ISSN: 1857 -7881 (Print) e -ISSN 1857 18 p < 0.05. Based on the flexibility of legs and arms, the EG presents improvements p < 0.05. Also, the CG only in right arm flexibility presents improvement p < 0.05. In agility-dynamic equilibrium, only the EG presents improvement p < 0.01. In expected aerobic performance, only the CG presented improvement p < 0.05. Strength improvement and increased manual grip maintain functional autonomy in both groups. Coupled with the improved agility-dynamic balance and flexibility of the EG, it gives the adult more independence which reduces the risk of falls in this population. In our findings, the EG significantly improved all fitness variables to a greater extent than CG. We recommend an increase in the intensity and frequency of physical activity programs and the inclusion of functional exercises with elastic bands aimed at this population.

Antes y después de la intervención, se determinó la condición física a través del Senior Fitness Test (fuerza, flexibilidad, resistencia aeróbica y agilidad-equilibrio dinámico) y el Test de Dinamometría Manual. En la comparación INTER grupos, el GE en flexibilidad mejora p<0.05 y en agilidad-equilibrio dinámico p<0.01; INTRA grupos, el GE y el GC en fuerza de piernas y brazos presentan mejoras p<0.001, y en isometría manual p<0.05; en flexibilidad de piernas y brazos el GE presenta mejoras p<0.05, el GC solo en flexibilidad de brazo derecho presenta mejoría p<0.05; En agilidadequilibrio dinámico solo el GE presenta mejoría p<0.01; y en rendimiento aeróbico esperado solo el GC presenta mejoría p<0,05.

The present research work responds to the planning of sports training oriented towards the development of the technical fundamentals of basketball. Specifically, the study was applied in the Chambo-Riobamba district of Chimborazo, Ecuador. The study was conducted based on a previous study on the analysis of the technical fundamentals of basketball. It details the need to develop a plan that is oriented towards the students of the intermediate category of the district. Through student survey, this study aims to avert the problem that demonstrates the absence of an oriented planning that is reflected in the low sport performance in this sport. The methodology used was through direct observation. The surveys were conducted for students, coaches, and field research. As a result, it is possible to define and apply daily training plans to determine how the universe of this study was responding to the exercise plan. The plan is made up of 29 sessions divided into 1 macrocycle, 7 mesocycles, and 25 microcycles. In conclusion, we
