Relación entre la fuerza máxima y las cifras de presión arterial en futbolistas jóvenes en la ciudad de Bogotá (Relation between the maximum strength and the blood pressure values in young soccer players in Bogota city )

Abstract

Objetivo. Identificar la relación entre los valores de fuerza máxima y las cifras de presión arterial en futbolistas de Bogotá. Método. Para el estudio se incluyeron hombres deportistas universitarios entre 18 a 26 años, quienes se dividieron en dos grupos: controles y casos basado en el valor de la presión arterial; la definición de caso se estableció en aquellos que presentaban cifras tensionales altas 120-129/>80 mmHg. Mientras que la definición de control fue aquellos que tenían cifras normales 80 mmHg. While the control definition was those who had normal numbers <120 and <80 mmHg. A questionnaire of initial data, blood pressure data, weight and height were applied. For the measurement of maximum force, the Smith squat equipment (PRECOR) was used, through T-FORCE. Results. The group of athletes (cases) presented a higher average strength compared to the normotensive group. As for the other variables, the cases had higher performance in maximum power, mean propulsive phase power, and mean power. A moderate correlation was found between blood pressure and maximum peak strength (p=0.000). Based on these results, a statistically significant mean difference (p=0.000) was identified between the values ​​of maximum strength and blood pressure. Conclusions. In the absolute data, greater force and power were found in the cases, but the average propulsion speed was higher in the normotensive group, which indicates the superior capacity in this group to move the load in less time in said phase. Key words: Arterial Pressure, Muscle Strength, Disease Prevention, soccer.
