| dc.description | Sarcopenia is a disorder of loss of muscle mass, loss of strength and loss of skeletal muscle function in a progressive and generalized manner. The objective of this project was to determine the relationship between sarcopenia and physical activity in older adults attending the Barreiro Health Center in the province of Los Ríos during the academic period October 2024 - May 2025. Methodology: this was a deductive, quantitative, cross-sectional, non-experimental field research. The total population was 85 elderly patients and the sample consisted of 70 participants. Results: The type of sarcopenia that stood out most was severe and moderate sarcopenia with 42.9% and 37.1% respectively, and only 10% did not present sarcopenia. The physical activity performed by the adults was lower than recommended with 68.6%, and only 31.4% performed physical activity within the recommended range. When relating the variables in severe sarcopenia 73.3% (N=22) of the participants did not perform the recommended activity compared to 6.7% of those who did perform recommended physical activity, it is also interesting that in participants without sarcopenia 85.7% performed physical activity less than recommended compared to 14.3% who performed physical activity within the recommendations. Conclusions: In the relationship of sarcopenia and physical activity no significant relationship was found according to the chi-square test p=0.307 rejecting the hypothesis raised, however, it could be observed that most of the participants with sarcopenia (75%) did not perform recommended physical activity. | es_ES |

| dc.description.abstract | La sarcopenia es un trastorno de pérdida de masa muscular, pérdida de fuerza y perdida de la función del musculo esquelético de forma progresiva y generalizada. El objetivo de este proyecto fue determinar la relación entre la sarcopenia y la actividad física en adultos mayores que acuden al Centro de Salud Barreiro de la provincia de Los Ríos en el periodo académico octubre 2024 – mayo 2025. Metodología: fue una investigación deductiva, de modalidad cuantitativa, de corte transversal, será de campo no experimental. La población total fue de 85 pacientes adultos mayores y la muestra estuvo compuesta por 70 participantes. Resultados: El tipo de sarcopenia que más resalto es la grave y la moderada con un 42.9% y un 37.1% respectivamente y solo el 10% no presento sarcopenia. La actividad física que realizaron los adultos fue menor a lo recomendado con un 68.6%, y solo el 31.4% realizaba actividad física dentro de lo recomendado. Al relacionar las variables en la sarcopenia grave el 73.3% (N=22) de los participantes no realizaba la actividad recomendada comparada con el 6.7% de los que si realizaban actividad física recomendada, también es interesante que en los participantes sin sarcopenia el 85.7% realizaba actividad física menos de lo recomendada comparada con el 14.3% que realizaba actividad física dentro de las recomendaciones. Conclusiones: En la relación de la sarcopenia y la actividad física no se encontró relación significativa según la prueba chi-cuadrado p=0,307 rechazando la hipótesis planteada, sin embargo, si se pudo observar que la mayoría de los participantes con sarcopenia (75%) no realizaba actividad física recomendada. | es_ES |
