We present a study of the main physical parameters that influence the light     curves of supernovae type II plateau (SNe II-P). For this purpose, we  used a one-dimensional  hydrodynamic code developed by us. We emphasise the need to use    pre-supernova density profiles from non-evolutive models in order to better reproduce the     observations.  We infer physical parameters such as explosion energy, ejected mass, and    initial radius, by comparing our modeled light curves with a large sample of high     quality data of SNe II-P.
