Introduction and objective: To establish the relationship between maximum oxygen con- sumption and factors such as core muscle activity, body composition, and central stability in university athletes. Materials and Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional correlatio- nal study was conducted with athletes from fourteen different sports disciplines. Five va- riables were measured, including the maximum electromyographic amplitude of the center of gravity muscles, static and dynamic stability area, Maximum oxygen consumption, and the percentage of muscle weight. Instruments such as surface electromyographic active wireless sensors, 3D inertial sensors, and ergospirometry equipment, were used. Calcula- tions were performed using Jamovi software v 2.3.28.0. Results: A significant and positive correlation was observed between percentage of muscle weight, maximum amplitude, and maximum oxygen consumption. When discriminating results by sports discipline, diffe- rences in the studied variables were found. A positive and significant correlation between maximum amplitude and percentage of muscle weight was observed in all sports, except for soccer and softball. In rugby, a positive and significant correlation was seen between percentage of muscle weight and maximum oxygen consumption. There was no correlation between voltage amplitude and stability in athletes, indicating that sports stability is more complex than simply focusing on the core. Conclusion: The study redefines the unders- tanding of stability and its connection to sports performance, providing crucial insights for developing effective training strategies. The need to consider body composition in the assessment and planning of training for more effective workouts is emphasized.
