RESUMO
El objetivo del estudio fue determinar la condición física, composición corporal y el somatotipo en deportistas colombianos. Participaron 618 deportistas (Mujeres 25,89%), con edad de 14 a 22 años. Se tomaron medidas cinantropométricas y se realizaron pruebas de resistencia cardiovascular en tapiz rodante, salto squat jump y contramovimiento, flexibilidad sit and reach y abdominales en 1min. Los deportistas del grupo de deportes de marca y precisión obtuvieron el porcentaje de grasa y porcentaje de masa ósea más altos, mientras el grupo de deportes de combate fue el índice de masa corporal, la capacidad aeróbica, la fuerza de resistencia abdominal y los saltos; en el grupo de deportes de pelota fue el porcentaje de recuperación, y en el grupo de tiempo y marca, sobresalió el porcentaje de masa muscular y la flexibilidad. El somatotipo predominante fue mesomórfico. Los resultados más altos en cada variable dependieron de la disciplina deportiva practicada.
The objective of this study was to determine the physical condition, body composition, and somatotype in Colombian athletes. 618 athletes participated (Women 25.89%), from 14 to 22 years old. Cynanthropometric measurements were taken, and cardiovascular endurance tests were performed on treadmill, as well as squat jumps and counter movements, the sit and reach flexibility test and the amount of sit ups in 1 min. The athletes in the brand and precision sports group had the highest percentage of fat and bone mass, while the combat sports group had the highest body mass index, aerobic capacity, abdominal resistance strength, and jumping; in the ball sports group the highest percentage was the recovery time; and in the time and brand group, the percentage of muscle mass and flexibility stood out. The predominant somatotype was mesomorphic. The highest results in each variable depended on the sports discipline they practiced.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose was to determine the association of lifestyle (i.e., Mediterranean diet [MD] adherence, physical activity [PA], screen time [ST]) and fitness with abdominal obesity (AO) and excess weight in the Chilean and Colombian schoolchildren. RESEARCH METHODS & PROCEDURES: This cross-sectional study included 969 schoolchildren, girls (n=441, 5.24±0.80 years old) and boys (n=528, 5.10±0.78 years old) from Chile (n=611) and Colombia (n=358). The body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-to-height ratio (WtHR), MD adherence, PA, ST and cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) were evaluated. The association of AO and anthropometric variables with lifestyle was estimated through multiple linear regression. To determine the association between AO and lifestyle, a logistic regression and the inclusion of odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used. RESULTS: Worse CRF in Chilean children were positively correlated with WC. Excess weight in Chilean and Colombian children was positively associated with an unhealthy lifestyle. In Chilean children unhealthy lifestyle was also associated with AO based on WC≥85th percentile and AO based on WtHR≥85th percentile. In Chilean children, excess weight (BMI≥85th percentile) was positively associated with poor MD adherence. CONCLUSION: AO and excess weight were associated with an unhealthy lifestyle in Latin-American schoolchildren. Interventions to reduce the prevalence of AO should include promoting healthier lifestyle choices (i.e., increasing PA after school, reducing ST and improving CRF).

The purpose of this cross-cultural study was to determine the association between the sociodemographic background of a child's parents (i.e., their socioeconomic level, marital status, and educational level) with the child's lifestyle (i.e., Mediterranean diet (MD), physical activity (PA) and screen time (ST)), and health markers. Material: This cross-sectional study included 1273 children, from Chile (n = 496), Colombia (n = 340), and Spain (n = 437). The sociodemographic information together with the lifestyle and health markers of the children were measured. There was an inverse association between a low or medium-low socioeconomic level for the parents of Chilean children and handgrip strength (ß -0.61, p < 0.001); meanwhile, for Spanish children, an inverse association between a low or medium-low socioeconomic level and PA after school (ß -0.58, p = 0.016), lifestyle (ß -0.74, p = 0.015), and with MD adherence (ß -0.86, p = 0.004) was found. The risk (i.e., by odd ratios (OR)) of being divorced/separated parents marital status showed an inverse association with abdominal obesity (OR 0.21, p = 0.045) in Spanish children; however, the parent's marital status and a low educational level were risk factors for the suffering of a low nutritional level in Colombian children (OR 2.02, p = 0.048; OR 2.49, p < 0.001, respectively). On the other hand, a low educational level for parents reported for Chilean children had a positive association with ST of ≥4 h per day (OR 1.82, p = 0.020). In conclusion, in Spanish-speaking children, the lifestyle and health markers of the children are affected by the sociodemographic background of their parents; however, these effects could be moderated by the socio-cultural and economic status of their countries as members of the OCDE; therefore, it is essential to develop policies that decrease these gaps, so that children who are under-resourced can reach their full potential.

Resumen (analítico) Las alteraciones y trastornos psicomotrices en la infancia pueden repercutir en el desarrollo de habilidades motoras complejas e influir en los aprendizajes escolares. El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar el perfil psicomotor en población infantil de planteles educativos de Colombia. Se utilizó un diseño transversal, descriptivo; se aplicó la batería psicomotora de Da Fonseca a 131 escolares (56.5 % varones; 43.5 % niñas) de 4-9 años, en educación preescolar y primaria. Los resultados indican que el 76.3 % tiene perfil normal, pero en la praxia fina predominó la dispraxia. Las niñas mostraron mejores valores que los niños en la mayoría de los factores. En conclusión, la mayoría de los infantes presenta un perfil eupráxico, hallándose mejores resultados en las niñas. Esto sugiere la implementación de programas escolares individualizados, previniendo posibles alteraciones.
Abstract (analytical) Psychomotor disturbances and disorders during childhood can have an impact on the development of complex motor skills and influence a child's learning in school. The goal of the present study was to analyze the psychomotor profile of a child population in schools in Colombia. A descriptive and cross-sectional design was used and the Da Fonseca psychomotor battery was applied to 131 students (56.5% boys; 43.5% girls) aged 4-9 years studying in kindergarten and primary education. The results show that 76.3% have a normal pyschoomotor profile, but Dyspraxia was dominant in Fine Praxia. Girls scored higher than boys in most of the factors. In conclusion, the majority of children present a Eupraxic profile, with improved results among girls. These results can contribute to the implementation of individualized school programs that could prevent possible disturbances.

RESUMO
Introduction: The burnout syndrome in teachers has been increasing during the last decades, which explains its becoming a very important study area. Objective: To determine the levels of the burnout syndrome and its relation with other factors among the physical education teachers in some schools of Ibagué. Materials and methods: We conducted a cross-descriptive correlational study among 111 physical education teachers from Ibagué with ages ranging from 26 to 65 years. We included gender and age as the sociodemographic variables, as well as the burnout syndrome-related variables. For data collection, we used a questionnaire in Spanish for the evaluation of the burnout syndrome specifically among teaching professionals. Results: The physical education teachers interviewed had low levels of burnout syndrome; 22 teachers (19.8%) had high levels and 15 of these responded to profile 1 (burnout syndrome without feelings of guilt) and 7 to profile 2 (burnout syndrome with feelings of guilt). Burnout syndrome prevalence was higher in men while in women the prevalence of physical and emotional exhaustion, indolence and negative attitudes, and feelings of guilt was higher. Conclusions: It is necessary to design and implement training programs aimed at explaining what burnout syndrome is, how and why it appears, its progress and symptoms, as well as strategies of individual prevention and intervention such as physical relaxation and respiratory control techniques.
Introducción. El síndrome de desgaste profesional en profesores ha ido en aumento durante las últimas décadas y ha suscitado interés por su estudio. Objetivo. Determinar los grados del síndrome de desgaste profesional y su asociación con otros factores de los profesores de educación física de las instituciones educativas del municipio de Ibagué. Materiales y métodos. Se hizo un estudio descriptivo y transversal de 111 docentes de educación física de los colegios de Ibagué, con edades entre los 26 y los 65 años. Las variables sociodemográficas incluyeron el sexo y la edad, y se analizaron las variables propias del síndrome. La información se recolectó utilizando la versión para profesionales de la educación del 'Cuestionario para la evaluación del síndrome de quemarse (sic) con el trabajo' (CESQT-PE). Resultados. Los profesores de educación física presentaron niveles bajos del síndrome; 22 docentes (19,8 %) presentaron niveles elevados y de estos, 15 respondían al perfil 1 (síndrome sin sentimientos de culpa) y siete al perfil 2 (síndrome con sentimientos de culpa). En los hombres la prevalencia del síndrome fue mayor, en tanto que en las mujeres las cifras fueron mayores en las dimensiones de desgaste físico y emocional, indolencia y sentimientos de culpa. Conclusiones. Es necesario diseñar e implementar programas de formación orientados a explicar qué es el síndrome de desgaste profesional, cómo y por qué aparece, cómo evoluciona y cuáles son sus síntomas, así como estrategias de prevención e intervención individual que incluyan técnicas de relajación física y de control respiratorio.

Introduction: Physical activity, health-related quality of life, self-concept and body-mass index are indicators of a healthy lifestyle. Objective: To determine the levels of physical activity and sedentary lifestyle, the health-related quality of life, the physical self-concept and the body-mass index in Colombian middle and highschool students. Materials and methods: We included 1,253 students between 10 and 20 years of age (601 men and 652 women) in the study. We used the following instruments for the measurements: A weighing machine, a stadiometer, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, the 12-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12®), and the Physical Self-concept Questionnaire in its Spanish version. Results: The statistical analysis showed higher levels in the body-mass index among female students and higher scores for the physical condition, self-concept and competence among male students, with meaningful statistical differences (p<0,05). Additionally, women had higher scores in moderate and vigorous physical activity, while men had higher scores in walking. Men got higher scores in the dimension of health-related quality of life, except in the social function, which differed significantly from the general health, emotional role, mental health, and vitality dimensions. Conclusions: We found a relation between the body-mass index and the physical condition and competence self-concept, as well as between body-mass index and general health, physical function, mental health and vitality. We also found a relation between a sedentary lifestyle and general health, body pain, and physical role.

Resumen Introducción. La actividad física, la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud, el autoconcepto y el índice de masa corporal son indicadores de un estilo de vida saludable. Objetivo. Determinar el nivel de actividad física y de sedentarismo, la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud, el autoconcepto físico y el índice de masa corporal en escolares colombianos de educación secundaria y media. Materiales y métodos. Participaron en el estudio 1.253 estudiantes entre los 10 y los 20 años (601 hombres y 652 mujeres) (14,62±2,01). Para las mediciones se utilizaron una báscula, un tallímetro, el cuestionario internacional de actividad física, el cuestionario abreviado de salud SF-12® y el cuestionario de autoconcepto físico (CAF) en su versión española. Resultados. Los análisis estadísticos mostraron un mayor índice de masa corporal en las estudiantes, en tanto que en los estudiantes se registraron valores más altos en el autoconcepto de la condición física y la competencia, con diferencias estadísticamente significativas (p<0,05). Además, se encontró que las mujeres registraban mayores puntuaciones en la actividad física moderada y vigorosa, y los hombres, en la caminata. Las puntuaciones fueron mayores en las dimensiones de la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud, excepto en la función social, lo cual difiere significativamente con las de la salud general, el rol emocional, la salud mental y la vitalidad (p<0,05). Conclusiones. Se estableció una relación entre el índice de masa corporal y el autoconcepto de condición física y competencia percibida, y entre el índice de masa corporal y la salud general, la función física, la salud mental y la vitalidad. Asimismo, el sedentarismo se relacionó con la salud en general, el dolor corporal y el rol físico (p<0,05).
