In some sports modalities, especially soccer, there is a series of motor capacities both of a physical and physiological nature; To achieve a consistent performance during the competition, the soccer player needs to execute actions where capacities such as speed, strength and endurance are immersed (aerobic, lactic anaerobic and alactic anaerobic). Objective. Determine the characteristics of the physical condition of university soccer players in special conditions of the city of Medellin, through the application of 2 specific tests for this sport discipline, which have validity and reliability criteria, and allow assessing the footballer's physical condition through their glycolytic anaerobic power and aerobic endurance. Materials and methods. The sample was for convenience, where 5 universities that are associated with ASCUN ANTIOQUIA Nodo Noroccidente were taken, which, according to the research group, are the teams with the best performance and sports performance in the region; From these universities, a total of 100 male soccer players and students were evaluated, who were registered in their respective lists and who represented each of the educational institutions described above. It was a descriptive cross-sectional study with a correlational phase. The systematization of the information was carried out in the SPSS version 19 program (License of the Autonomous University of Manizales), the distribution of frequencies of sociodemographic variables, means and standard deviation was determined; Univariate analysis of categorical variables was performed through the distribution of absolute and relative frequencies, and bivariate analysis to establish possible relationships between the study variables. Statistical significance was determined by non-parametric tests (Chi square and phi), coefficients corresponding to the variables established from the characteristics of the variables were used, the assumption of normality between the quantitative variables was also used by applying the Kolmogorov test. - Smirnov, and as it did not present normality, the Tchebychev inequality was used. Results. The age of the university soccer players ranged from 17-29 years, with a mean of 21 years ± 2.6 years, the 11 body weight presented a range between 52-98 kg, with a mean of 69.4 ± 8 , 05 kilograms; the height presented a range between 1.59-1.96 meters, with a mean of 1.76 ± 0.64 meters; the BMI obtained a range of 16.98 - 27.17 and a mean of 22.49 ± 1.92 kg / mt2; values were recorded for the initial heart rate in relation to the anaerobic or zig zag test with conduction of 80.98 bpm and the final heart rate of 161.74 bpm; In relation to the aerobic test with the 1,260 meters, the initial heart rate was 88.5 bpm and the final one was 171.24 bpm.
