ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: COVID-19 confinement measures in the population affected the quality of life and sleep. AIMS: To determine if confinement is associated with a lower quality of life and sleep. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: A self-reported survey including questions about type of confinement, time spent in front of a screen, the international physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ), the Sleep Self Report questionnaire and the SF-36 quality of life survey, was answered by 621 Chilean university students. RESULTS: Confined and not confined respondents spent a great amount of time in front of a screen, in sedentary activities and sleeping > 8 or < 6 hours per day. Those who were in confinement reported having a poorer quality of sleep and quality of life compared to those who were not in confinement. Those who required mandatory confinement for suspected COVID-19 had the worst quality of sleep and quality of life. CONCLUSIONS: University students had sedentary lifestyles regardless of the type of confinement. Those who were in confinement, especially for suspected COVID-19 infection, had the worst quality of sleep and quality of life.

El desarrollo de la resistencia cardiorrespiratoria en niños, adolescentes y jóvenes se asocia a la disminución de la prevalencia de enfermedades cardiovasculares en niños y adolescentes. La prueba de course navette o carrera de 20 metros es una prueba de aptitud cardiorrespiratoria máxima y progresiva, que mide indirectamente el consumo máximo de oxigeno. Niveles altos de capacidad aeróbica durante la niñez y la adolescencia están asociados con una salud cardiovascular actual y futura más saludable. Según la encuesta nacional de salud en Chile (2009-2010) el 17,7 por ciento de la población chilena mayor de 15 años y más, presenta un riesgo cardiovascular alto o muy alto. La población chilena presenta: un elevado nivel de morbilidad por enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles y de sus factores de riesgo. Utilizar una prueba máxima y progresiva en adolescentes, como es la prueba de course naveta, puede genera un aumento del riesgo de presentar un evento cardiovascular al evaluar el consumo máximo de oxigeno en nuestra población.
The development of cardiorespiratory endurance in children and young people is associated with decreased prevalence of cardiovascular disease in children and adolescents. The test of "course navette" or 20 meter race is a test of high cardiorespiratory fitness and progressive, which indirectly measures the maximum oxygen consumption. High levels of aerobic fitness during childhood and adolescence are associated with a current cardiovascular health and healthier future. According to the health survey in Chile, 17.7 percent of the Chilean population 15 years and over, has a high or very high cardiovascular risk. The Chilean population has: a high level of morbidity from chronic diseases and their risk factors of disease. Use a high and progressive test in adolescents, such as "proof of course navetta" can generate an increased risk of cardiovascular events in assessing the maximum oxygen consumption in our population.

En nuestro país y en el mundo se han realizado una serie de investigaciones en el área de la morfoestructura humana, pero pocos trabajos que describan el perfil antropométrico de personas jóvenes saludables. Se evaluaron a 100 hombres y 79 mujeres de entre 20 y 29 años de edad, sin factores de riesgo a la salud. Se evaluó de acuerdo a un protocolo de ISAK con variables que permite estimar la composición corporal y el somatotipo de los individuos. De esta manera se presentan las tablas de resultados como una forma de usarlas de referencia. Nuestro grupo de referencia evaluado (CHIREF) con sus resultados de composición corporal, somatotipo e índices corporales, aporta una nueva fuente de información de la V Región y actualizada para Chile, la cual favorecerá las comparaciones para distintos grupos de edades, condiciones de salud, deportes y etnias, considerando la necesidad de aumentar el grupo etario y la cantidad de variables antropométricas para ampliar el universo de comparación y mejorar la referencia comparativa.
In our country and worldwide, extensive research has been carried out in the human morphostructure, however there is limited work that describes the anthropometric profile of young healthy individuals. One hundred men and seventy nine women were evaluated between 20 and 29 years of age without health risk factors. The evaluation was in accordance with ISAK protocol and variables in body composition estimate and somatotype. Reference tables of the results are also included. Reference group (CHIREF) with the results of body composition, somatotype and other corporal indexes contribute as a source of information from Chile, which will aid in comparison studies for different age groups, health conditions, sports and ethnicity, considering the need to increase the age group and the amount of anthropometric variables so as to expand the range of comparison and improve comparative referentes.
