RESUMEN
RESUMEN 20. La actividad física está fuertemente ligada al desarrollo y manteni miento de la composición corporal de las personas. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la asociación entre la actividad física y variables antropométricas de trabajadores de una universidad en Colombia. Participaron del estudio 84 hombres (38,1 ± 10 años y 79,2 ± 11 kg) y 119 mujeres (35,5 ± 9,5 años y 61,6 ± 10,6kg). El nivel de actividad física fue evaluado utilizando los criterios del International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Fueron tomadas las medidas de peso, altura, IMC, porcentaje de grasa y masa magra. Fueron encontradas diferencias significativas en los niveles de acti vidad física bajo-alto con nivel medio en el peso (p = 0,021), y medio-alto con bajo en el porcentaje de grasa (< 0,001) y masa magra (< 0,001). Se encontró una asociación entre la actividad física con el IMC (p = 0,002). Se concluye que los trabajadores con nivel bajo de actividad física tienen mayor porcentaje de grasa y menos masa magra.
