    NIVEL DE CONCORDANCIA DE LOS RELOJES INTELIGENTES PARA LA ESTIMACIÓN DEL TRABAJO ANAERÓBICO EN JÓVENES DEPORTISTAS

    Basketball is one of the most popular sports in Ecuador, especially among young people. This discipline requires high cardiorespiratory performance, and for these athletes, it is essential to effectively assess this system during physical activity. Specific tests, such as ergospirometry, are used by high-performance athletes; however, alternatives exist, such as smartwatches. For this reason, the present project aimed to determine the level of agreement between devices for measuring the anaerobic threshold. The research was framed within a non-experimental design with a quantitative approach. Furthermore, it is considered a descriptive cross-sectional study because only one assessment was performed on the participants. The population was selected through convenience sampling, with a total of 30 young participants, ages 12 to 15, from “The Blue Hawks" basketball training school in the city of Ambato. The evaluation was carried out using three devices at the same time (Apple Watch Series 6, Xiaomi Band 8 and Moofit HR8 Band), which recorded the heart rate of each participant during the Navette Test Course. The results showed that there is excellent reliability between the Band vs Apple devices (ICC = 0.961-0.980), on the other hand, the congruence of Apple vs Xiaomi (ICC = 0.878-0.935) was slightly higher than Band vs Xiaomi (ICC = 0.860-0.925). Demonstrating that the concordance between the Moofit HR8 Band and the Apple Watch Series 6 is high compared to the Xiaomi Band 8, all this during physical activity.

    REALIDAD VIRTUAL EN EL FORTALECIMIENTO DE LAS HABILIDADES MOTORAS EN EL DEPORTE. REVISIÓN SISTEMÁTICA
    (2025-07-21) Amaguaña Toasa, Kevin Javier; Moscoso Córdova, Grace Verónica; Universidad Técnica de Ambato / Facultad de Ciencias de Salud / Carrera de Fisioterapia
    Motor skills in sports are defined as the ability that allows athletes to execute specific body movements in a coordinated, precise, and efficient manner. These skills are acquired and perfected through practice and motor learning, and are essential for athletic performance. In physical therapy and sports, virtual reality (VR) is emerging as an innovative technological tool that enables safe, repetitive, and personalized training aimed at improving sports techniques and motor functions within the sports field. A bibliographic review was conducted using databases such as PubMed, Frontiers, SciELO, and Google Scholar, using the PRISMA model to select and analyze 16 studies published since 2020. Methodological quality was assessed using the PEDro scale, with 14 articles being of good quality. The AMSTAR-2 scale was applied in two systematic reviews, rating them as high. The results suggest that using virtual reality as an intervention method for strengthening motor skills is effective, as VR demonstrates improvements in aspects such as precision, balance, coordination, decision-making, and attention across various sports disciplines.

    TÉCNICAS MANUALES EN LA ARTICULACIÓN TEMPOROMANDIBULAR COMO TRATAMIENTO DEL DOLOR EN ATLETAS QUE PRACTICAN DEPORTES DE CONTACTO
    (2025-02-27) Garces Ramos, Johan Alexis; Peñafiel Luna, Andrea Carolina; Universidad Técnica de Ambato/ Facultad de Ciencias de Salud /Carrera de Fisioterapia
    The present study investigated whether post-isometric muscle relaxation and myofascial relaxation are effective treatments for temporomandibular disorders (TMD) in athletes participating in contact sports. A longitudinal study was conducted with a follow-up of 6 weeks, evaluating 30 athletes from the Federación Deportiva de Tungurahua (FDT) engaged in boxing, kickboxing, and wushu. Primary outcomes were obtained using the Helkimo clinical dysfunction index, which included criteria such as limitation of jaw movement range, joint function alterations, pain during movement, muscle pain, and joint pain. The secondary outcome was pain assessed by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS). All parameters were evaluated at the beginning and end of the treatment based on post-isometric muscle relaxation and myofascial relaxation techniques. At the end of the treatment, significant effects were observed; all athletes reported a decrease in symptom severity according to the Helkimo clinical dysfunction index criteria (p=0.000). Similarly, pain according to VAS decreased almost entirely (p=0.000), indicating that the treatment was effective. The application of manual techniques such as post-isometric muscle relaxation and myofascial relaxation proved to be effective as first-line treatments for athletes continuously exposed to trauma in the temporomandibular joint.
