The objective of the present investigation was to relate quality of life and dynamic balance in older adults. To this end, an intentional sample of older adults was taken from the gerontological centers of Chambo and Guano cantons, for which 35 people make up the control group (Chambo); while 71 people make up the intervention group (Guano). In order to reach the goal of the research, the quality of life was evaluated, through a pre-test called WHOQOL - BREF, followed by the Tinetti test that refers to the march - balance, ending with the Timed get up and go test, which determines the mobility measures of people who can walk on their own. To the intervention group, an exercise program was applied to improve the dynamic balance that lasted ten weeks. Finally, by means of a post test, the entire sample was evaluated, which allowed us to analyze whether there was an incidence. In other words, a slight improvement in both dynamic balance and gait after ten weeks of intervention was evidenced.
This paper focuses on determining the incidence of a program to improve the coordination of shooting the ball with inner curve by the athletes of the sub 18 category of the Innovagol Women's Soccer Academy of the city of Riobamba in 2016. This research was quasi-experimental, field, and a deductive hypothetical bibliography. In this research, a population and unintentional sample of 50 female athletes were considered, and they were surveyed in order to obtain a baseline. This however helps to elaborate an intervention program with daily exercises of the improvement of coordination and it had a duration of 6 weeks. The data obtained from the surveys were tabulated, analyzed, and interpreted. Subsequently, the athletes were evaluated through a coordination test (ladder) that has been used and validated in previous investigations. The survey was conducted in two moments (Pre and Post-test). The results obtained were processed and subjected to a statistical test, which show that the results were not significant. Thus, only coordination is not enough to positively impact the ball with the inner curve. As a result, it is necessary to consider the accuracy when hitting the ball.
Introducción: El índice de Masa Corporal (IMC) es un parámetro confiable usado para identificar categorías de peso, de allí su importancia en ciencias relacionadas con la salud, la actividad física y el deporte. Objetivo: Determinar el IMC en universitarios varones de la Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo. Métodos: Investigación descriptivo-analítica, bajo un muestreo aleatorio simple se selecciona una muestra representativa de estudiantes universitarios (581, género masculino) de la universidad mencionada, registrando 7 indicadores relacionados con IMC, siendo registrados por 15 especialistas certificados. Resultados: El 67% de los sujetos presentaron peso Normal, el 22% Sobrepeso, un 6% Bajo Peso, un 4% con Obesidad Tipo I, y el 1% con Obesidad Tipo II. Los valores en promedio determinaron una edad de 20 años, un peso de 64,92 Kg, una talla o estatura de 167 cm, un IMC de 23.21 Kg/m², un IMG de 21.03% y un IMM de 29.11 Kg. Conclusiones: Se cumplimenta el objetivo de la investigación, recomendándose incorporar un estudio similar en el género femenino.
