abstract = {The objective of this study was to describe the state of strength and endurance in schoolchildren
aged 7 to 10 years old from the city of Santiago de Tolú, Colombia, and to relate such values to their
weights, heights, and body mass index (BMI) values. This was a descriptive, correlational, cross-sectional
research study, whose quantitative statistical analysis was compared with studies conducted in Colombia
and other countries. Strength was measured by the summation of the segmental dynamometry of the
upper and lower limbs, and endurance was measured with a 5 min continuous run test. This is the first
investigation to characterize variables related to physical education and sport in schoolchildren from Tolú.
The information collected on the evaluated population may aid in its sustainable human development,
since significant differences in height, weight, BMI, strength, and endurance were identified with respect
to other national and international populations.},
