Abstract
La obesidad representa un problema de salud que suele iniciarse
en la infancia y la adolescencia, por un desequilibrio entre la ingesta y el
gasto energético, derivando en niveles altos de grasa corporal y grados
peligrosos de adiposidad relativa. Por tanto, la inactividad física es un
factor de riego que favorece el sobrepeso y la obesidad. El objetivo fue
diseñar y aplicar un programa de ejercicio aeróbico y evaluar su efecto
en la composición corporal y somatotipo en un niño con obesidad
mórbida. Se abordó como un estudio de caso, con pre-test y post-test, en
un niño de 10 años, con peso corporal de 88.9 kg, estatura de 158.5 cm,
un IMC clasificado de obeso mórbido, no practicante de algún deporte
o actividad física regular. El programa fue de 12 semanas, 5 sesiones por
semana y una duración de 30-60 min por sesión y una intensidad del 55-
70% de Fcmax. La composición corporal y el somatotipo se obtuvo por
mediciones de variables antropométricas. El componente graso a través
de la medición de pliegues. En los resultados destacan la diferencia en el
pre-test y pos-test de los pliegues: bíceps (dif. 0.0 mm), tríceps (dif. -1.2
mm), subescapular (dif. -1.0 mm.) y suprailiaco (dif. -3.2 mm). Se
encontraron pequeñas diferencias en el componente graso (dif. -1.05%)
y peso graso (dif. -800 grs). Con respecto a la somaocarta, la distancia de
dispersión del somatotipo no mostró valores relevantes. El efecto del
programa no alcanzó niveles significativos y el sujeto aún permanece en
estado de alto riesgo de salud
Obesity represents a health problem that usually starts in childhood and adolescence, by an imbalance between the consumption and the energy use, deriving in high levels of body fat and dangerous degrees of relative adiposity. Thus, the physical inactivity is a risk factor that favours overweight and obesity. The objective was to design and apply a program of aerobic exercises and to evaluate its effect on body composition and somatotype in a child with morbid obesity. It was addressed as a case study, with pre-test and post-test, in a 10-year-old child, with a body weight of 88.9 kg, a height of 158.5 cm, a BMI classified as morbidly obese, not practicing a sport or physical activity regularly. The program was 12 weeks, 5 sessions per week and a duration of 30-60 minutes per session and an intensity of 55-70% of Fcmax. Body composition and somatotype were obtained by measuring the anthropometric variables. The fat component through the measurement of folds. The results highlight the difference in the pre-test and post-test of the folds: biceps (diff. 0.0 mm.), triceps (diff. -1.2 mm.), subscapular (diff. -1.0 mm.) and suprailiac (diff -3.2 mm.). Small differences in the fat component (diff -1.05%) and the fat weight (diff. -800 grs.) were found. Regarding the somacarta the dispersal distance of the somatotype did not show relevant values. The effect of the program did not reach significant levels and the subject remains in a state of high health risk.
