Resumen

The aim of this study was to analyse the change in motor competence (MC), body composition, and habitual physical activity (PA) levels in a group of university students over 12-month. 92 participants (68 males; 21.2±5.5 years old) took part in this study. All participants were sport sciences students and had their MC, body composition and habitual PA, assessed at baseline and after 12 months. Lean mass significantly increased in females (+0.2%; Effect Size (ES)= 0.726) and males (+0.2%; ES = 0.555). In females, was also observed a significant increase in weight (+0.1%; ES=0.734). In terms of MC, significant improvements were observed in females MC stability (+0.3%; ES=0.696), MC manipulative (+1.1%; ES=0.866), standing long jump performance (+0.7%; ES=0.511), and total MC (+1.9%; ES=0.699). Males exhibited significant decreases in MC manipulative (-1.5%; ES=0.640), throwing velocity (-1.3%; ES=0.473), kicking velocity (-1.4%; ES=0.755), standing long jump performance (-1.1%; ES=0.408), and shuttle run (-1.3%; ES=0.502). In early adulthood, sport science undergraduate students MC can differ across a 12-month period, changing in accordance with habitual PA levels. It appears that the changes related to the growth and maintenance of MC continue throughout adulthood.

El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar los cambios en los niveles de competencia motriz (CM), composición corporal y actividad física (AF) en un grupo de estudiantes universitarios durante un período de 12 meses. 92 participantes (68 hombres; 21.2±5.5 años) participaron en este estudio. Todos los participantes eran estudiantes de ciencias del deporte y se les evaluó la CM, composición corporal y la AF habitual al inicio del estudio y después de 12 meses. La masa magra aumentó significativamente en las mujeres (+0.2%; tamaño del efecto (TE) = 0.726) y en los hombres (+0.2%; TE=0.555). Además, en las mujeres se observó un aumento significativo del peso (+0.1%; TE=0.734). Para las mujeres, se observaron mejoras significativas de la CM estabilidad (+0.3%; TE=0.696), CM manipulativa (+1.1%;TE=0.866), salto horizontal (+0.7%; TE=0.511) y CM total (+1.9%;TE=0.699). Los hombres mostraron una disminución significativa de la CM manipulativa (-1.5%;TE=0.640), velocidad de lanzamiento (-1.3%;TE=0.473), velocidad de disparo (-1.4%;TE=0.755), salto horizontal (-1.1%;TE=0.408) y velocidad de lanzamiento (-1.3%;ES=0.502). En el inicio de la edad adulta, la CM de los estudiantes de licenciatura en ciencias del deporte pueden diferir en un período de 12 meses, cambiando de acuerdo con los niveles habituales de AF. Parece que los cambios relacionados con el crecimiento y mantenimiento de CM continúan durante la edad adulta.
