Diferencia de la huella plantar (antes y después de realizar ejercicio físico) de estudiantes de primer semestre, aparentemente sanos, de la Facultad de Cultura Física, Deporte y Recreación de la Universidad Santo Tomás de Colombia, sede Campus San Albert

Abstract

Introduction: During functional evaluation, it is necessary to diagnose the distribution of body burden in the subjects. One of the most effective mechanisms to do so, is the protocol of photopodogram, which evaluates footprint before and after doing exercise. Method: Photopodogram protocol was carried out. Twenty-eight undergraduate students took part. The physical activity consisted of a continuous race, with a moderate intensity during 15 mins, around the running tracks. Results: It was found that there was a higher average in the type of normal cake before and after doing physical activity, likewise there were changes in the footprint with physical activity although these are not statistically significant. Conclusions: Even though no significant changes appeared in the pre and post intakes, there is an evidence that this evaluation must be carried out after the physical exercise, to detail, with much more precision, the loads that settle in the footprint.
