Hombres y músculos: la influencia de la masculinidad en componentes seleccionados de la condición física de los estudiantes masculinos de Pathfit 1
Barra lateral del artículo
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
El estudio analizó la influencia de las normas de masculinidad en la flexibilidad, resistencia, agilidad y potencia de las piernas en 168 estudiantes de primer año del curso Physical Activity towards Health and Fitness 1 (AY 2024-2025) en la Universidad Estatal de Bulacan, seleccionados por muestreo aleatorio simple. Se evaluaron la flexibilidad (pruebas Trunk Lift, Zipper y Sit and Reach), resistencia cardiovascular (prueba de escalones de tres minutos), resistencia muscular (sentadilla contra la pared, flexiones y plancha), agilidad (salto en hexágono) y potencia de piernas (saltos horizontal y vertical). La masculinidad se midió con el Masculinities Attitude Norms Inventory-III. Tras la aprobación ética, se recolectaron los datos y se realizó un análisis de regresión lineal múltiple con SPSS v30. Los resultados mostraron que la masculinidad no predijo flexibilidad, resistencia cardiovascular, resistencia muscular del núcleo o extremidades inferiores, agilidad ni potencia de piernas, pero sí fue un predictor de la resistencia muscular del tren superior. Los hallazgos desafían los estereotipos que asocian masculinidad con superioridad física, promoviendo entrenamientos individualizados y neutros en género. Limitaciones como métodos de prueba restringidos y la exclusión de hipertrofia muscular y fuerza señalan la necesidad de investigaciones futuras más amplias.
