Main Article Content
Introduction: Practice of physical activity by students and professionals in physiotherapy is deficient in Colombia increasing the global levels of sedentary lifestyle. A validated program for physical training of future professionals in physiotherapy that improve the most important physical qualities was proposed. for professional performance. Objectives: The objective of this research was to determine the effects of a training program on the physical qualities of the students of VIII and IX semester of the Physiotherapy program. Materials and methods: 46 participants of VIII and IX semester students of the Physiotherapy program enrolled, eligible for the training program, were invited to randomize the control and experimental groups with 23 participants for each group, the qualities were measured physical pre and post program with a 12 week training program. As statistical tests T- Student and Mann- Whitney were applied, to determine the size of the program effect was applied by d Cohen. Results: Statistically significant changes were found in all physical qualities (P value <0.05), with relevant effects according to the d Cohen statistic (d> at 0.2) due to the physical training program in cardiovascular resistance, strength and flexibility. Conclusions: The training program improved all physical qualities using functional training method, self-loads and global and dynamic flexibility and is applicable to similar populations.
