The systematic practice of physical activity contributes to improve living and health conditions and slows dawn the aging process in seniors. Objective. Identify differences in functional autonomy in 60-70 year old mountain cyclists and sedentary males residing in Tunja, at moderate height. Materials and Methods. Comparative analytical cross-sectional study. A total of 22 elderly males participated; 11 sedentary seniors and 11 mountain cyclists, ages between 60 and 70 (mean 63.03 ± 4.32 years). Subjects agreed to take the Kinanthropometric assessment using a bioimpedance analysis, the Senior Fitness Test (SFT) battery developed by Rikli and Jones (1999a), the submaximal Ästrand Test and the Right and Left Handgrip Dynamometer Test. Results: Groups were comparable in age, weight, height and body mass index (p> 0.05). Statistically significant differences were recorded in favor of the mountain cyclist group, in the mean percentage of body fat, bone density, and muscle mass; Statistically significant differences were found in the SFT test, specifically in hip flexion (p<0.001) and in the submaximal test in the stress test in Watts (p=0.021). Statistically significant differences were also found in the left hand during the dynamometry test. (p=0.0007). Conclusion. Seniors who routinely practice physical activities, such as mountain biking, show better indicators of health in body composition, waist flexibility, aerobic capacity and motor skills.References
