In the present research work with the topic “Gymnastic practices in the physical capacities of students in the second year of General Unified High School”, was carried out with the objective of determining the incidence of the application of gymnastic practices in the improvement of physical capacities, with a sample of 15 students (8 men and 7 women) corresponding to the second year of High School ‘A’ of the Educational Unit “Honduras” of the city of Ambato. A study with a quantitative approach was carried out under a pre-experimental design, standardized physical tests were applied before and after a six-week intervention based on gymnastic routines. The techniques employed included observation, measurement and statistical analysis, using tools such as SPSS to compare pre- and post-intervention results. The results showed improvements in all the physical capacities evaluated, in particular, flexibility showed significant increases, followed by aerobic endurance, while strength and speed also showed improvements, although to a lesser extent. The students showed a general improvement in their performance, with a notable advance in the male group. Finally, it was proven that gymnastic practices have a positive influence on the comprehensive physical development of adolescents.
