Resumen
Actualmente en Chile se ha fomentado la actividad física como un medio para mejorar
el sedentarismo que ha alcanzado altos niveles en la población originando una serie de
consecuencias negativas generando enfermedades y una mala calidad de vida en la
población chilena, pero no solo la actividad física es importante para evitar el
sedentarismo, sino que también lleva consigo cambios en el ámbito social y cognitivo
que puede generar un cambio real en la sociedad.
La eventual práctica temprana de actividad física es una meta para la educación física
puesto que trae consecuencias positivas en lo que respecta a los estilos de vida de las
personas, ayudando a la prevención de enfermedades, generando un cambio social y
mejorando el ámbito cognitivo en los alumnos de nuestra sociedad.
De esta manera surge el interés de relacionar la actividad física con el ámbito cognitivo,
ya que si existe esta asociación, sería ideal tomar conciencia de la real importancia de
lo que conlleva ejercer actividad física y posteriormente poder mejorar la educación de
los alumnos a temprana edad.
El propósito principal del estudio es evaluar el perfil de actividad física y asociarlo a los
resultados del test de Stroop que mide una de las funciones ejecutivas,
específicamente la inhibición.
Esta es una investigación cuantitativa descriptiva y asociativa.
Con una muestra de 88 participantes, todos escolares de enseñanza básica del Colegio
Aconcagua, San Nicolás y del Instituto Santa María de la región de Valparaíso, las
edades fluctúan entre los 9 y 12 años.
Se midió el perfil de actividad física en relación a los estilos de vida de los escolares,
siendo este último relacionado a su tiempo libre versus sus comportamientos
sedentarios mediante un cuestionario, junto a esto se aplicó el test de Stroop que arrojó
los datos de inhibición de cada participante.
Los resultados fueron analizados por estadísticas descriptivas, las variables
determinadas fueron relacionadas con los resultados de cada participante.
De esta manera se pudo concluir que no hubo una asociación directa en todos los
casos pero sí se presentó una tendencia a que; entre menos comportamiento
sedentario, mayor grado de interferencia en el test de Stroop. Por otra parte, donde
hubo una línea positiva en su asociación directa fue con el uso de los vídeo juegos. Se
pudo establecer que entre más uso de video juegos, mayor es la capacidad de
inhibición que demuestra el test. Este último dato puede ser importante para realizar
otra investigación.
Currently in Chile physical activity has been promoted as a means to improve the sedentary lifestyle that has reached high levels in the population bringing a series of negative consequences generating diseases and a poor quality of life in the Chilean population, but not only physical activity is important to avoid sedentary lifestyle, also brings changes in the social and cognitive that can generate a real change in society. The eventual early practice of physical activity is a goal for physical education since it probably brings positive consequences with respect to the lifestyles of people, helping to prevent diseases, generating social change and improving the cognitive environment in the students of our society. In this way, there is an interest in relating physical activity to the cognitive field, since if this association exists, it would be ideal to become aware of the real importance of what it takes to exercise physical activity and then be able to improve the education of students at an early age. The main purpose of the study is to evaluate the physical activity profile and associate it with the results of the Stroop test that measures executive function, specifically inhibition. This is a descriptive and associative quantitative investigation. With a sample of 88 participants, all school children from the Aconcagua School. San Nicolas School and the Santa Maria Institute in the Valparaiso region, the ages range were from 9 to 12 years. The physical activity profile was measured in relation to the lifestyles of the students. the latter being related to their free time versus their sedentary behaviors by means of a questionnaire, along with the Stroop test, which showed the inhibition data each participant. In this way it was possible to conclude that there was no direct association in all the cases but trends that make a difference in cases where more sedentary behavior existed a greater error in the stroop test. Where there was a great direct association was with the use of video games. it was established that more is the use of video games, the greater the inhibition capacity that the test shows. Proposal that remains open for future research.
