    Introduction: Young people who start the university life face a key stage for the acquisition of habits and lifestyles. The test Course Navette is one of the most used worldwide because of its easy measurement, validity, effectiveness and sensitivity in different age ranks. Material and methods: An observational, descriptive and transversal study with quantitative approach; with 100 students participating (43 men and 57 women) with an average age of 21.06 ± 2.43 at the University of Santander, Cúcuta. For the development of this research, were obtained measurements anthropometric, hematological, physiological and performance on an empty stomach Leger test. Results: 62% of participants had a BMI of normal weight, 24% overweight and obesity and underweight was 8 and 6% respectively. In turn 32% of men and 17.5% of women have high cardiovascular risk according to abdominal circumference. VO2max. in the Leger test was 32.92 ± 7.12 to 533.80 ± 371.34 meters traveled. Regarding glycemia before the test was 80.99 ± 11.91 and after 105.59 ± 20.89. Conclusion: No signifi cant diff erences in fat percentage were found (p = 0,863), muscle (p = 0,740) and water (p = 0,804) after Leger test. However, there were signifi cant changes in FC, TAS, TAD, red cells, white cells, hemoglobin, platelets and blood glucose levels (p = 0,000). Regarding the VO2max. (p = 0,597) and travel meters (p = 0,619) no diff erences were found by gender.
