    RELACIÓN DE LA INGESTA PROTEICA Y ACTIVIDAD FÍSICA CON SARCOPENIA EN ADULTOS MAYORES DE LA PARROQUIA MULALÓ DE LA CIUDAD DE LATACUNGA

    The study of sarcopenia syndrome in the elderly is considered of great importance because it is a disease that has a high prevalence, 50%, in the elderly and affects function, mobility, autonomy, and quality of life, so it is necessary to know how to treat and prevent it. The purpose of this study was to correlate protein intake and physical activity with sarcopenia in the elderly in Mulaló Parish, Latacunga City. This was an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study with a qualitativequantitative approach. Anthropometric data were used to assess nutritional BMI status, while brachial circumference, triceps crease, dynamometry for muscle strength, and time up and go test for physical activity and mobility were used to diagnose sarcopenia, and protein intake was measured using a 24-hour recall. The population consisted of 52 elderly people of both sexes, of whom, according to their nutritional status, 11.5% were underweight, 55.8% had normal nutritional status, 21.3% were overweight and 9.6% were obese, 48.1% had a diagnosis of sarcopenia, 80.8% had poor physical performance and mobility, and 63.5% had low protein intake. It can be concluded that there is a significant relationship with the syndrome of sarcopenia with a p value = 0.013, the greater the diminzi.

    “Diferencias biomecánicas en el miembro inferior entre bailarines de ballet clásico y no bailarines”
    (Universidad Técnica de Ambato - Facultad de Ciencias de la Salud - Carrera de Terapia Física, 2019-02-01) Cárdenas Rodríguez, Melany Lisseth; Robalino Morales, Gabriela Estefanía Lcda. MSc.
    Nowadays, classical ballet has become popular in such a way that girls and boys practice it from a very early age, despite the demand of this activity, for this reason the present research aims to compare the biomechanical differences of the lower member among ballet dancers and non-dancers; Within the methodology, a data collection form and two physiotherapy tests were used, such as goniometry to assess joint mobility and dynamometry to measure the strength of the muscle groups, which were applied to the joints that make up the lower limb. This study belongs to the line of investigation of Epidemiology and Public Health. This research has as scientific importance is to determine if the constant practice of classical ballet can cause biomechanical alterations in terms of joint mobility and long-term muscle strength in dancers. Furthermore, the information that is collected constitutes a basis for future research, since there are not many studies on this subject. The novelty of this project is based on the little or no knowledge on the part of the dancers and instructors about the effects produced in the biomechanics of the lower limb by the activity they practice; This study seeks that the ballet schools of the city of Ambato can define a better training strategy for all their students and thus avoid the number of injuries to which they are exposed daily.
