Study Overview
Brief Summary
Kayak polo (KP) is a sport that, as a breviary, can be defined as the union between water polo and canoeing. The objective of this study is to compare anthropometric parameters, joint assessment, strength and functional capacity between two groups of KP players from the Valencian Community. The sample will be divided into a Sub21 group and a Senior group. Anthropometric variables (body mass index [BMI], percentage of fat mass, waist - hip index [CHF], body perimeters ...), shoulder assessment (Range of movement in rotations, Scapular Dyskinesis Test [SDT]) will be assessed. glenohumeral instability ...), hip assessment (modified Thomas test), strength (Hand Grip Strength test and upper limb thrust), lower limb power (Counter Movement Jump [CMJ]) and functional capacity (1 'push-ups for limbs upper and 1 'Sit-to-Stand test for lower limbs).

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Weight and percentage of fat mass
Time Frame: 1 day
A scale - bioimpedaniometer model Tanita BF350 Anazyliser body composition will be used. Through acoustic bioimpedance, the four sensors of this scale that come into contact with the soles of the feet serve to assess the body composition of the individual, once the data on: size, age and sex have been entered.
Skin fold
Time Frame: 1 day
An 842-SK-001 polymer pyrometer of the Quirumed brand will be used. This one has an accuracy of 2mm and will be used for the measurement of skin folds of adipose tissue. Specifically, the tricipital fatty fold (PGT) will be measured
Shoulder ROM
Time Frame: 1 day
To obtain the ROM in shoulder rotations, a conventional analog polymer goniometer of the Saehan brand Grip model will be used, with an accuracy of 2 degrees. External rotation (RE) and internal rotation (RI) of the dominant upper limb will be assessed.
Secondary Outcomes
- Glenohumeral apprehension test(1 day)
- Scapular dyskinesia(1 day)
- Clamping force in upper limbs(1 day)
- Functional capacity in lower limbs(1 day)
- Impingement subacromial (SAPS)(1 day)
- Movement Jump (CMJ) or Countermovement Jump(1 day)
- Shortening in hip flexion(1 day)
- Thrust force in upper limbs(1 day)
- Functional ability in upper limbs(1 day)
