Main Article Content
Introduction: Muscle fitness, specifically handgrip strength, has been identified as a key health and physical condition indicator in young women. A sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy habits can negatively impact muscle strength, increasing the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. This study analyzes the relationship between lifestyle habits and muscle fitness in young adult women from Universidad Libre Seccional Barranquilla. Methodology:
A descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study was conducted with 346 women aged 16 to 35 years. Surveys assessed emotional management, nutrition, and sleep, while anthropometric and physical activity measurements were taken. Handgrip strength was measured using a K-GRIP electronic dynamometer, and data were analyzed using SPSS 23.0, applying Chi² and ANOVA tests to determine significant associations (p<0.05). Results:
Women with higher body fat percentage (>30%) and severe sedentary behavior (12-16 hours of sitting per day) had the lowest handgrip strength levels (18.2 kg left hand in the under-18 group). In contrast, the 31-35 age group, with a moderate body fat percentage (26.14%), showed the highest handgrip strength (22.6 kg right hand and 21 kg left hand). Regular physical activity, adequate sleep, and a sense of life purpose were positively correlated with higher handgrip strength. Conclusion:
This study confirms that lifestyle choices significantly influence handgrip strength. Lack of physical activity, excess body fat, and unhealthy habits negatively impact muscle fitness, emphasizing the need for preventive strategies. These findings support the implementation of educational and intervention programs to improve the health and well-being of young women, reducing the risk of chronic diseases.
