Relación entre potencia física muscular respecto del porcentaje de grasa y masa muscular en taekwondo

Abstract

The aim of this article is to determine the relationship between lower body muscle power in relation to the percentage of fat and muscle mass in university students outstanding in Taekwondo. The methodo-logy was designed in a correlational descriptive study, within a quantitative framework, where the sample was intentional and carried out with ten male adults. The variables evaluated were obtained by means of anthropometric criteria and muscular power of the lower train. Consistent with the con-clusion, with the objectives, the correlation was verified under statistical analysis through systematic work where the results were a significant negative correlation (the greater amount of fat, the lower the jump) and a significant positive correlation (the greater the muscle mass, the higher the jump). Conse-quently the limits of this research are of a particular order and the results cannot be extrapolated, but the applied methodology can be used with other study groups in quantitative work.
