Context: The present investigation was carried out in the Department of Physical Education and Recreation of the University of Camagüey, Cuba, in the academic year 2018 - 2019. Objective: to design a methodology to evaluate the physical fitness tests of the students of the aforementioned university in a more individual and personalized way, contributing to their satisfaction and motivation for physical activity.
