Análisis comparativo de la agilidad en escolares de básica media de dos instituciones educativas: una rural y una urbana

Abstract

Agility Agility is an important physical ability in human development, with which quick and coordinated movements can be made. It is a motor skill that involves several activities such as changes in direction, accelerations, among others. The reality of schoolchildren according to their location can significantly influence this ability, in this case two urban and rural institutions are taken into account, which have a different reality in schoolchildren, where they practice different daily activities, therefore the emphasis of the study. The objective is to evaluate the level of agility in secondary school children from a rural educational institution Abraham Barzallo and an urban educational institution February 27 of the canton Girón. The research is

observational, non-experimental, descriptive comparative, with a quantitative and cross- sectional approach, the study was developed with 140 students selected in a non-probabilistic

and intentional way. The schoolchildren will participate voluntarily. To determine their level of agility, they will be evaluated with the Illinois test, which consists of a circuit of changes in direction and speed of movement. This will allow us to determine the level of agility in the two groups of schoolchildren. With the data on the level of agility, a comparative report was made of the results of the Illinois Agility Test, which allowed us to establish whether there are statistically significant differences between the elementary school students from the urban institution 27 de Febrero compared to the rural institution Abraham Barzallo.
