dc.description.abstract	This study evaluated the impact of an 8-week training program on two groups of players, one performing free weights training and the other bodyweight training. The sample consisted of 14 athletes with a mean age of 22.6 years. Assessments of shooting strength were conducted before and after the program, measuring shot speed, acceleration, and strength. The free weights training included exercises with dumbbells and barbells, while the bodyweight training included squats, push- ups, and planks. Sessions occurred twice a week, with gradual progress in the number of sets and repetitions. Statistical analyses were performed using GraphPad Prism software, with significance set at p<0.05. Data distribution was tested using the Shapiro-Wilk test, and comparisons between pre- and post-intervention assessments were made with paired t- tests. Results showed significant improvements in shot speed, acceleration, and strength in the free weights training group, while the bodyweight training group showed no significant changes. It was concluded that free weights training is more effective for improving shooting strength in roller hockey players.	eng
dc.description.abstract	Este estudio evaluó el impacto de un programa de entrenamiento de 8 semanas en dos grupos de jugadores, uno que realizó entrenamiento con pesas libres y el otro entrenamiento con peso corporal. La muestra consistió en 14 atletas con una edad media de 22,6 años. Se realizaron evaluaciones de la fuerza de tiro antes y después del programa, midiendo la velocidad, la aceleración y la fuerza del tiro. El entrenamiento con pesas libres incluyó ejercicios con mancuernas y barras, mientras que el entrenamiento con peso corporal incluyó sentadillas, flexiones y planchas. Las sesiones se realizaron dos veces por semana, con un progreso gradual en el número de series y repeticiones. Los análisis estadísticos se realizaron utilizando el software GraphPad Prism, con una significancia establecida en p < 0,05. La distribución de los datos se probó utilizando la prueba de Shapiro-Wilk, y las comparaciones entre las evaluaciones previas y posteriores a la intervención se realizaron con pruebas t pareadas. Los resultados mostraron mejoras significativas en la velocidad, la aceleración y la fuerza del tiro en el grupo de entrenamiento con pesas libres, mientras que el grupo de entrenamiento con peso corporal no mostró cambios significativos. Se concluyó que el entrenamiento con pesas libres es más eficaz para mejorar la fuerza de tiro en jugadores de hockey sobre patines.	spa
