Relación del contenido de clase de educación física y la participación docente con el nivel de actividad física extracurricular en adolescentes de 10-12 años

Abstract

The main purpose of this research is to examine, using reliable and valid instruments, the relationship between the physical education curriculum at Unidad Educativa Santa Isabel and the amount of extracurricular physical activity among students aged 10 to 12 years. To understand how students' participation in physical education (PE) courses is related to their

overall levels of physical activity, this study used a quantitative strategy based on a cross- sectional observational design. A total of 117 students from the sixth, seventh and eighth

grades of the GBS program of the Santa Isabel Educational Unit participated in the research. A non-probabilistic sampling strategy was used for the study. The PAQ-C questionnaire was administered to evaluate the levels of PA (Physical Activity) after having used the SOFIT instruments to evaluate the course material, student activity and instructor commitment. Therefore, it is concluded that successful methods for increasing participation in physical activity in and out of school can be developed and proposed when a thorough understanding of the connection between physical education courses and daily physical activity in and out of school hours has been achieved.
