    (Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, Bogota, 2024-12-31) Cifo Izquierdo, María Isabel; Lavega Burgués, Pere; Alonso Roque, José Ignacio; March Llanes, Jaume; Yuste Lucas, Juan Luis; Expresión Plástica, Musical y Dinámica
    El bienestar emocional es un tema clave en la educación física moderna, sobre todo si se busca favorecer la educación integral del alumnado. Este estudio se analizó la intensidad de las emociones positivas, negativas y ambiguas al participar en juegos deportivos de oposición en función del tipo de agrupamiento. En el grado en ciencias de la actividad física y del deporte participaron 73 alumnos, se realizaron 22 juegos y registraron sus vivencias emocionales a través del instrumento cuantitativo Escala de Juegos y Emociones (GES). Los datos se analizaron a través de Ecuaciones de Estimación Generalizadas (GEE), teniendo en cuenta la familia gaussiana Modelo Lineal Generalizado (GLM) de correlación intercambiable. En los resultados obtenidos no se observaron diferencias de intensidad emocional cuando los juegos fueron realizados por grupos mixtos o segregados. Como conclusión se puede señalar que el tipo de agrupamiento no determinó la intensidad emocional.

    Disfrute percibido en juegos deportivos tradicionales de educación física en primaria
    (2024-12-31) Alcaraz Muñoz, Verónica; Alonso Roque, José Ignacio; Yuste Lucas, Juan Luis; Expresión Plástica, Musical y Dinámica
    El objetivo principal fue analizar el nivel de disfrute percibido en educación física por estudiantes de primaria cuando participan en juegos, en función del género, tipo de relaciones sociales promovidas, experiencia deportiva y competición. Participaron 152 estudiantes de primaria de 8 a 12 años. El disfrute fue evaluado mediante la escala BECS y la experiencia emocional con la GES-C. Los resultados mostraron que el uso de los juegos en las clases de educación física pueden ser un recurso óptimo para favorecer el disfrute y el aprendizaje motivado entre los escolares. Entre los diferentes tipos de juegos que se pueden aplicar, los de colaboración-oposición fueron los que generaron mayores niveles de disfrute. Las chicas señalaron mayor disfrute frente a los chicos. La competición y la experiencia deportiva de los escolares, no revelaron diferencias en su disfrute. Como conclusión, los docentes deben favorecer un clima aprendizaje que apoye la motivación y el disfrute en las clases de Educación Física.

    Clustering patterns of physical fitness, physical activity, Sedentary, and dietary Behavior among school children
    (SAGE Publications, Mary Ann Liebert, 2020-12-02) López-Gil, José Francisco; Brazo-Sayavera, Javier; García-Hermoso, Antonio; Camargo, Edina María de; Yuste Lucas, Juan Luis; Expresión Plástica, Musical y Dinámica
    Background: Some healthy lifestyle behaviors may have a greater impact on childhood obesity in combination, compared to the independent effects of those behaviors in an isolated manner. The present study aimed to identify the different healthy lifestyle patterns of children according to their physical fitness, physical activity (PA) patterns, screen time, and adherence to the Mediterranean Diet, as well as to examine the association between anthropometric indicators and the membership to a certain cluster. Methods: A final sample of 353 Spanish school children (45.9% females) from the Region of Murcia (Spain) was included in this study (aged 6–13). First, we conducted a hierarchical cluster analysis using Ward’s method; based on squared Euclidean distances. Second, we used the k-means cluster analysis to get the final cluster solution. Results: Three different clusters were established: Cluster 1 [high cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF), PA, and Mediterranean Diet], Cluster 2 (low CRF, PA, and Mediterranean Diet + high muscular strength), and Cluster 3 (low physical fitness and PA). Cluster 3 had negative values in all the health-related variables analyzed. Regarding the anthropometric parameters analyzed (BMI, triponderal mass index, waist-to-height ratio, and body fat percentage), Cluster 3 presented the highest values in all anthropometric parameters than the other two clusters ( p < 0.001), while Cluster 1 showed the lowest values. Conclusions: The study has identified three clusters respect to health-related variables with the higher prevalence in the cluster established as the unhealthiest lifestyle. Also, cluster classification is associated to obesity indicators such as BMI, tri-ponderal mass index, waist-to-height ratio, and body fat percentage.

    Kinesiotape on quadriceps and gluteus in counter movement jump and sprint in soccer players
    (Elsevier, 2021-03-04) Reina Abellan, J.; Yuste Lucas, Juan Luis; Mora Cabrera, O.; Gómez-Tomás, C.; Fisioterapia; Expresión Plástica, Musical y Dinámica
    Background: Kinesiotape (KT) is a technique commonly used in sports practice. It may be beneficial in enhancing muscle function by additional cutaneous afferent stimulation. The objective of this study was to analyse the effect of KT on countermovement jump (CMJ) and 20-m sprints (sp) immediately and 24 h after its application on the quadriceps and gluteus maximus. Methods: 37 male soccer players (19.7 ± 0.9 years old) were randomly assigned to one of 3 groups: experimental group: KT activation (KTact), placebo group: sham tape (KTst), and control group (CG). Participants performed a 30-min preliminary warm-up, after which they conducted CMJ and 20-m sp tests. These tests were repeated later (with KT application or not) and after 24 h. Results: Intergroup results found no significant differences either post-test (CMJ, p = 0.115; sp, p = 0.307) or after 24 h (p = 0.053). Intragroup results showed no significant results for CMJ, although 20-m sp seemed to display significant differences in the (KTst) (p = 0.002, post-hoc: 0.015 in pre_sp vs post_sp) and the (KTact) (0.021, in post-hoc: 0.007 in pre_sp vs post_sp), with a moderate effect in pre_sp vs post_sp (0.66) in the (KTact) after KT was applied. Conclusion: KT application on the gluteus maximus and quadriceps in young soccer players increases the sprint execution time immediately and 24 h after application, even that the sprint execution time had not been grater that one tenth of the second (0.08 s). It also has no effect on CMJ.

    Meeting the physical activity recommendations and its relationship with obesity-related parameters, physical fitness, screen time, and Mediterranean diet in schoolchildren
    (MDPI, 2020-11-28) López Gil, José Francisco; Brazo Sayavera, Javier; Campos, Wagner de; Yuste Lucas, Juan Luis; Expresión Plástica, Musical y Dinámica
    The up-to-date scientific evidence suggests that adequate levels of physical activity provide essential health benefits for children and adolescents and help to maintain a healthy body weight. In this sense, children and adolescents should at least accumulate 60 min of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity in a daily basis to achieve these benefits and be considered active. Likewise, some lifestyle-related elements may interact with each other in an antagonistic or synergistic way to modify physical activity status. Thus, a better understanding of how meeting physical activity recommendations influences these potentially modifiable lifestyle factors (obesity-related parameters, physical fitness, dietary habits, or sedentary behaviour) would significantly reinforce the importance of complying with those recommendations from a health perspective and support the establishment of strategies for the promotion of diminishing the lower trends of physical activity among the young population. This study seeks to verify the association of meeting physical activity international recommendations with obesity-related parameters, global physical fitness, screen time, and Mediterranean diet in Spanish schoolchildren aged 8 to 13. A cross-sectional study was performed including 250 schoolchildren (41.2% girls) aged 8–13 (9.7 ± 1.2) from six primary schools in the Region of Murcia (Spain). Results: A higher proportion of children who complying with physical activity recommendations shows normal weight, no abdominal obesity, and low adiposity in comparison to other with different obesity-related parameters categories. Higher values in global physical fitness score were found in those who meet the physical activity international recommendations in both sexes. These higher values were also shown for adherence to the Mediterranean diet in both sexes; not being so in the case of screen time. Notwithstanding, none of these mean differences were statistically significant. To conclude, the proportion of schoolchildren meeting the physical activity recommendations in our study is low. A higher proportion of children who meet with physical activity recommendations present normal weight, no abdominal obesity and low adiposity in comparison to other obesity-related parameters categories in both sexes. Likewise, those considered as active children seem to have higher global physical fitness score and adherence to the Mediterranean diet than children who do not meet the recommendations.

    Weight status Is related to health-related physical fitness and physical activity but not to sedentary behaviour in children
    (MDPI, 2020-06-23) López-Gil, José Francisco ; Brazo-Sayavera, Javier ; Yuste Lucas, Juan Luis; Renato Cavichiolli, Fernando; Expresión Plástica, Musical y Dinámica, ; Actividad Física y Deporte
    Purpose: The aim of this research was to describe, examine, and compare the level of physical fitness, physical activity, and sedentary behaviour in pupils aged 6–13 in the Region of Murcia, Spain, in accordance with weight status. Methods: A total of 370 children (166 girls and 204 boys) aged 6–13 (M = 8.7; DT = 1.8) from the Region of Murcia participated in this descriptive and cross-sectional study. Some anthropometric parameters such as body mass index, waist circumference, as well as skinfold measurements were determined. ALPHA-FIT Test Battery was used to evaluate physical fitness. Krece Plus Short Test was used to measure physical activity level and sedentary behaviour. Results: 52.4% of the children presented excess weight (according to the World Health Organization growth references). Regarding boys, statistically significant differences were found for cardiorespiratory fitness (p < 0.001), relative handgrip strength (p < 0.001), lower muscular strength (p < 0.001), speed-agility (p < 0.001), as well as sport activities hours (p = 0.001) among the three weight status groups (normal weight, overweight, and obesity). As for girls, statistically significant differences were found for cardiorespiratory fitness (p = 0.004), relative handgrip strength (p < 0.001), lower muscular strength (p < 0.001), sport activities hours (p = 0.005), as well as physical activity level (assessed by Krece Plus Test) (p = 0.017). A negative statistically significant correlation was found between body mass index and cardiorespiratory fitness (rho = −0.389), lower muscular strength, (rho = −0.340), and relative handgrip strength (rho = −0.547). At the same time, a positive statistically significant relationship between body mass index and the time spent in speed-agility (rho = 0.263) was shown. Regarding waist circumference and body fat percentage, similar relationships were identified. Moreover, a greater probability of having higher cardiorespiratory fitness (OR = 1.58; CI95% = 1.38–1.82), relative handgrip strength (OR = 1.25; CI95% = 1.19–1.31), more hours of sport activities (OR = 1.40; CI95% = 1.19–1.66), and physical activity level (assessed by Krece Plus Test) (OR = 1.23; CI95% = 1.07–1.42) was noted in the normal weight group. Conclusions: Children that presented normal weight achieved higher results for health-related physical fitness and physical activity than those with excess weight; this was, however, not found to be the case for sedentary behaviour. The authors emphasise the need for changes in public policies and school-based intervention programmes to develop higher levels of both PF and PA in overweight and obese children.

    Meeting international screen-time guidelines is associated with healthy dietary patterns in Spanish schoolchildren
    (Arán Ediciones, 2020-12-10) López-Gil, José Francisco; Reis Gaya, Anelise; Santos Duarte Junior, Miguel Angelo dos; Yuste Lucas, Juan Luis; Actividad Física y Deporte, ; Expresión Plástica, Musical y Dinámica
    Objective: the aim of this research was to explore the relationship between dietary pattern habits and compliance with screen-time guidelines in Spanish schoolchildren. Material and methods: a cross-sectional and associative study was performed in a total of 370 schoolchildren (44.9 % girls) aged 6-13 (8.7 ± 1.8) years. Results: for boys, those who did not meet these guidelines presented lower chances of eating vegetables regularly (OR = 0.50; 95 % CI = 0.28-0.89) or more than once a day (OR = 0.43; 95 % CI = 0.22-0.85). In girls, it was observed that those who did not meet the guidelines presented a lower probability of eating one piece of fruit (OR = 0.43; 95 % CI = 0.19-0.99) as well as a second piece (OR = 0.22; 95 % CI = 0.22-0.81), vegetables more than once a day (OR = 0.39; 95 % CI = 0.19-0.80), fish (at least 2-3 times/week) (OR = 0.40; 95 % CI = 0.20-0.78) and nuts (at least 2 or 3 times per week) (OR = 0.46; 95 % = 0.24-0.87). Conclusion: some healthy eating patterns, such as the consumption of fruits and vegetables, appeared to be more prevalent in those children who met the international screen-time guidelines.

    Adherence to mediterranean diet related with physical fitness and physical activity in schoolchildren aged 6–13
    (MDPI, 2020-02-22) López-Gil, José Francisco; Brazo-Sayavera, Javier; García-Hermoso, Antonio; Yuste Lucas, Juan Luis; Actividad Física y Deporte; Expresión Plástica, Musical y Dinámica
    The relationship between adherence to the Mediterranean Diet (MD) and both physical fitness (PF) and physical activity (PA) level has been analysed in several studies. The aim of this research was to describe, compare and analyse the level of PF and PA in schoolchildren aged 6–13 in the Region of Murcia, according to adherence to the MD. A descriptive and cross-sectional study was performed. A total of 370 schoolchildren (44.9% girls) aged 6–13 (8.7 ± 1.8) from six primary schools in the Region of Murcia (Spain). Mediterranean Diet Quality Index for children and teenagers (KIDMED) was used to determinate the adherence to the MD. The ALPHA-FIT Test Battery was applied for assess body composition and PF. PA level was determined using Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children (PAQ-C). Only 25.9% of the schoolchildren had optimal adherence to the MD. Regarding the scores of the different PF tests in MD groups, only statistically significant differences were found for cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) (p = 0.048) in boys. PA level showed statistically significant differences in both boys (p = 0.040) and girls (p = 0.016). A positive relationship was found between the KIDMED and PA level (p = 0.235). A higher probability of having a greater CRF (OR = 1.17; CI = 1.02–1.34) and PA level (OR = 7.84; CI = 2.84–21.60) was found in high MD group. These results suggest that an optimal adherence to the MD is associated with higher CRF and PA level in the selected schoolchildren.

    Cardiorespiratory fitness as mediator of the relationship of recreational screen time on mediterranean diet score in schoolchildren
    (MDPI, 2021-04-23) José Francisco López-Gil; García-Hermoso, Antonio; Brazo-Sayavera, Javier; Tárraga López, Pedro Juan; Yuste Lucas, Juan Luis; Actividad Física y Deporte,; Expresión Plástica, Musical y Dinámica
    Background: Studies have reported the association between cardiorespiratory fitness and higher adherence to the Mediterranean diet as well as lower recreational screen time. Similarly, higher screen time has been negatively linked to a lower adherence to the Mediterranean diet. However, the mediator effect of cardiorespiratory fitness on the influence of screen time on adherence to the Mediterranean diet is still unknown. The aim of this study was two-fold: first, to assess the combined association of recreational screen time and cardiorespiratory fitness with adherence to Mediterranean diet among Spanish schoolchildren, and second, to elucidate whether the association between recreational screen time and adherence to the Mediterranean diet is mediated by cardiorespiratory fitness. Methods: A descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted. A total of 370 schoolchildren aged 6–13 years from six schools in the Region of Murcia (Spain) were included. Results: The mediation analysis showed that once screen time and cardiorespiratory fitness were included together in the model, cardiorespiratory fitness was positively linked to adherence to the Mediterranean diet (p = 0.020) and although screen time remained negatively related to adherence to the Mediterranean diet, this association was slightly attenuated (indirect effect = −0.027; 95% CI = (−0.080, −0.002)). Conclusions: This research supports that cardiorespiratory fitness may reduce the negative association between screen time and Mediterranean dietary patterns.

    Intensity of physical activity in physical education classes and school recesses and its associations with body mass index and global fitness score in Spanish schoolchildren
    (MDPI, 2021-11-30) López-Gil, José Francisco; Cavero-Redondo, Iván; Tárraga-López, Pedro Juan; Camargo, Edina María de; Sequí-Domínguez, Irene; Yuste Lucas, Juan Luis; Renato Cavichiolli, Fernando; García-Hermoso, Antonio; Expresión Plástica, Musical y Dinámica, ; Actividad Física y Deporte
    Background: Examining the association between excess weight or physical fitness and intensity of physical activity (PA) during Physical Education (PE) classes or school recesses and in children could be of great interest and importance, especially for future intervention programs or public policies related to PA. The aim of this study was to explore the association between intensity of PA in PE classes or school recesses and excess weight or global physical fitness in a sample of Spanish schoolchildren. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study in the Valle de Ricote (Region of Murcia, Spain). A final sample of 350 Spanish schoolchildren between 6 and 13 years of age was included from six different schools. Intensity of PA during PE classes and recesses was assessed by the Physical Activity Questionnaire for Older Children (PAQ-C). To assess physical fitness, the extended ALPHA fitness test battery was used. Body mass index (z-score) was calculated following the age- and sex-specific thresholds of the World Health Organization. Results: Both body mass index (z-score) and Global Fitness Score (z-score) were lower in schoolchildren engaging in high intensity of PA in both PE lessons and school (p < 0.05 for all). Lower odds of having excess weight were found in those who reported high intensity of PA in both PE classes and school recesses (OR = 0.54; CI 95%, 0.30–0.96). In these same participants, higher odds of being in the high Global Fitness Score tertile were found (OR = 1.96; CI 95%, 1.01–3.85). Conclusions: Our study showed that higher intensity of PA in PE classes and school recesses was associated with lower excess weight and higher global physical fitness.
