Monitoreo de las capacidades motoras de universitarios

Summary. The objective of the following study is the evaluation of the current status of the motor capacities in n=161 students of the Universidad Veracruzana from different faculties and periods in the Veracruz region. The data was collected after the application of four tests “squat thrust”, “quadrant jump”, “agility” and “stork stand”. The obtained results show that in agility test women achieved 26.87% and men 17.39%, both qualifications are low. Another result of this test is the average qualification of females with 73.13% and men with 82.61%. In conclusion, both women and men showed homogeneous results in “squat thrust” and “agility” tests, while in “quadrant jump” and “stork stand” the score was heterogeneous. However, an incentive program can be implemented in the motor capacities to evaluate their impact.
