El objetivo del presente estudio fue determinar las relaciones entre la competencia de aprender a aprender, los estilos de vida y la condición física en una muestra de estudiantes universitarios colombianos. Estudio de enfoque cuantitativo y diseño observacional-analítico de alcance transversal. Participaron del estudio 23 estudiantes de primer semestre de la licenciatura en deporte con una edad promedio de 20.48±3.07 años. Para evaluar la competencia aprender a aprender se utilizó el cuestionario CECAPEU, los estilos de vida se midieron a través del cuestionario CEVJU-R2 y para la condición física, se evaluó a través del aplicativo My Jump Lab las siguientes pruebas: SJ, CMJ, CMJB, fuerza isquiotibial, asimetrías, cambio de dirección 5-0-5, velocidad 5, 10 y 15 metros e Illionis, al igual que se tomaron otras pruebas como Sit and Reach, test de equilibrio y Course Navette. Se usó la metodología de análisis factorial múltiple, usando un análisis de inercia para definir el número de componentes a trabajar. Para evaluar la relación entre grupos de variables, así como entre variables y las categorías dentro de estas. El software empleado fue el programa ® versión 4.1.0. Los resultados indican que, existen diversos perfiles que revelan la necesidad de entender que el estudiante que tiene como objeto de estudio al deporte, enfrenta una serie de necesidades asociadas a su estilo de vida y su condición física, lo cual influye en su competencia de aprender a aprender. El estudio permitió reconocer que existen cinco perfilamientos de los estudiantes de primer curso de la licenciatura en Deporte de la Universidad Pedagógica Nacional. Esto puede ayudar a mejorar los programas de intervención y seguimiento de los estudiantes en la carrera, buscando con ello, reconocer que el aprendizaje de estos es diverso y necesita en igual medida, una variabilidad en los enfoques de su enseñanza y, al mismo tiempo espacios que favorezcan un estilo de vida conducente en la mejora de su condición física.

The study had a quantitative approach and a cross-sectional observational-analytical design. Twenty-three first-semester undergraduate sports students with an average age of 20.48±3.07 years participated in the study. To evaluate the learning to learn competence, the CECAPEU questionnaire was used, lifestyles were measured through the CEVJU-R2 questionnaire and for physical condition, the following tests were evaluated through the My Jump Lab application: SJ, CMJ, CMJB, hamstring strength, asymmetries, change of direction 5-0-5, speed 5, 10 and 15 meters and Illionis, as well as other tests such as Sit and Reach, balance test and Course Navette. The multiple factorial analysis methodology was used, using an inertia analysis to define the number of components to work on. To evaluate the relationship between groups of variables, as well as between variables and the categories within them. The software used was the program ® version 4.1.0. The results indicate that there are several profiles that reveal the need to understand that the student whose object of study is sport, faces a series of needs associated with their lifestyle and physical condition, which influences their competence to learn to learn. The study made it possible to recognize that there are five profiles of first-year students of the Bachelor's Degree in Sport at the National Pedagogical University. This can help to improve the intervention and follow-up programs for students in the course, seeking to recognize that their learning is diverse and needs, in equal measure, a variability in the teaching approaches and, at the same time, spaces that favor a lifestyle focused on improving their physical condition.

Background: Some studies have suggested that physical fitness and body composition may influence individual and collective performance. However, it is necessary to be able to define the relationships between these variables in soccer players of different ages. Objective: To determine the relation between physical fitness level, body composition, and somatotype in female youth soccer players in response to age. Materials and methods: A total of 56 players were evaluated: 19 early adolescents (EA–U13) with a body mass of 48.35 ± 5.67 kg and a height of 157.63 ± 5.55 cm, 21 middle adolescents (MA–U15) with a body mass of 54.02 ± 5.96 kg and a height of 160.37 ± 5.25 cm and 16 late adolescents (LA–U17) with a body mass of 55.37 ± 6.15 kg and a height of 162.39 ± 5.77 cm. The physical fitness tests were: Squat Jump (SJ), Countermovement Jump (CMJ), Countermovement Jump with Arms (CMJA), Single Leg Countermovement Jump, COD-Timer 5-0-5, COD-Timer 5+5, Speed 15 m, Hamstring Strength, and Running-Based Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST). The International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry (ISAK) protocols were used to determine anthropometric measurements (skinfolds, circumferences, bone diameters), and the Heath-Carter method was used to assess body composition and somatotype, with z-scores calculated using the Phantom strategy. Results: The analysis revealed that the most significant differences between groups were observed in general anthropometric measurements (ω² = 0.84), followed by sitting height (ω² = 0.51) and percentage of body fat according to Carter’s method (ω² = 0.24), all with large and statistically significant effect sizes (p < 0.05). Larger muscle and bone dimensions, especially in the hip, thigh, and calf, are closely related to better strength, power, and initial sprint speed performance in female soccer players. Conclusions: This study reaffirms that muscle mass is a key predictor of athletic performance, along with strength at high speeds, promoting improvements in power and sprinting in the initial meters. Adiposity is a limiting factor for youth soccer players. Age progression and biological maturation favor the development of the mesomorphic profile, optimizing strength and power.

Objective: Analyze physical fitness variables and body composition to define patterns or similarities in performance using principal component analysis. Materials and Methods: Sixty-eight players participated in the study, divided into three groups according to their age: Under-13 (n = 23), Under-15 (n = 27) and Under-17 (n = 18). A comparative cross-sectional study was performed. The variables analyzed were squat jump, countermovement jump, countermovement jump with arms, hamstring strength, COD-Timer 5-0-5, COD-Timer 5 + 5, speed (5, 10, 15 m), and running anaerobic sprint test. Body composition variables were skinfold thickness, diameters, and circumferences. Results: For the squat jump, 10.4% of the variability in speed (η² = 0.104) and 12.5% of the variability in jump height (η² = 0.125) are explained by category, both with moderate effect sizes. For the countermovement jump, 10.8% of the variability in speed (η² = 0.108) and 13.2% of the variability in jump height (η² = 0.132) are explained by category, both with moderate effects. For the running anaerobic sprint test power test, a large effect size was determined for each of the six times, indicating that at least 57.4% of the variability in time is explained by category. Conclusions: Two control groups were identified according to category (Under-13, Under-15, Under-17), revealing that principal component 1 and principal component 2 were significant in the performance of anthropometric variables such as residual mass, bi-styloid diameter, arm span, and residual mass, and physical variables, specifically related to COD-Timer 5 + 5, COD-Timer 5-0-5, and speed.
