Abstract

The aims of this study were to determine and compare the cardiovascular risk (CVR) in students of the physical trainer career of the 2017 and 2019 generations. The variables measured were body weight (BW), height (HE), waist circumference (WC), body mass index (BMI) and waist to height ratio (WHtR). The WC and WHtR were used to determine the CVR and its subsequent comparison. The methodology used corresponds to a quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive study: with a sample of 324 participants (year 2017 = 103 men and 61 women; year 2019 = 98 men and 62 women). A mechanical scale with a DETECTO brand stadiometer (for BW and HE) and a SECA anthropometric tape measure (for WC) were used. Sidak's two-way ANOVA test and multiple comparisons were used for statistical differences, the Cohen D index for effect size was considered, with an alpha of <0.05. The results of the comparison of women in 2017 and 2019 were significant (p-value <0.0001), for WC the difference was greater by 9.84% in 2019 (p-value <0.0001). A CVR (WHtR 0.52 ± 0.06; WC 82.34 ± 9.86) is determined in women in 2019. Men do not show significant differences between 2017 and 2019 (p-value>0.05), nor are they classified as a risk group. It is concluded that female students have different anthropometric characteristics between both years and that the generation of 2019 presents CVR.
