    Cardiorespiratory fitness and joint hypermobility in athletes from a private university of Lima, 2023
    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2023-11-27) Díaz Santiago, Maythen Soledad Geraldine; Rosas Sudario, Milagros Nohely
    University athletes represent a unique population characterized by early exposure to various sports disciplines, which tend to be reinforced in adolescence and continue to develop during their professional training. It is essential to assess the current physical condition of this population, especially if training routines have been disrupted due to the pandemic. One alternative is measuring cardiorespiratory fitness through maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max), as higher levels are associated with greater physical capacity and optimal athletic performance. Although university athletes present an acceptable level of cardiorespiratory fitness, it is low compared to professional levels, meaning they could be exposed to a higher risk of injury resulting from their daily practice, such as in individuals with joint hypermobility. Recent studies have found that athletes with hypermobility are three times more likely to injure their shoulders or knees compared to those without this condition. Based on these findings, it is essential to understand the implications of these variables in national university sports teams.
