A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out, the population under study was made up of 45 men and 5 working women aspiring to the emergency brigade of the mining company. Anthropometric measurements of height and body mass were made, with which the BMI and waist circumference were determined. The evaluation of functional capacity was carried out using the Leger test and the abdominal tests in 30''. Results: 51% of the subjects evaluated are overweight and 7% obese, 60% of the population has a high abdominal circumference (11% of the female group and 59% of the male population). In the functional capacity records, the evaluated workers are below the normal parameters in the cardiorespiratory fitness test and in the abdominal strength test it is evident that it was the capacity with the best average value, since the participants stated that they were good or very good above normal indicators.
