Resumen
MORALES, Carolina; OSORIO, Johanna; FLORES, Elizabeth y MAUREIRA, Fernando. Independence of the anthropometric profile, attention and intelligence in higher education students in the field of physical activity in Chile. Nutr. Hosp. [online]. 2023, vol.40, n.6, pp.1246-1252. Epub 04-Mar-2024. ISSN 1699-5198. https://dx.doi.org/10.20960/nh.04719.
Introduction:
kinanthropometry is the current science that studies body parameters in relation to its functioning (such as body composition, proportionality, somatotype, etc.), with established norms, techniques and criteria.
Objective:
to relate anthropometric profile, attention and problem solving in higher education students in the field of physical activity in Chile.
Method:
quantitative-correlational approach, with non-experimental and cross-sectional design.
Results:
there is no significant relationship between body composition (body masses) and cognitive tests (attention and Raven). Regarding anthropometric data (body composition), no significant differences were observed between the sexes for any parameter.
Conclusion:
it can be deduced that the results of the cognitive factors may be associated with other variables, and not specifically with the variables that may affect anthropometric parameters. These are very interesting topics for future studies, so it is suggested to continue studying cognitive abilities with other variables.
