“…The reason why the percentages of physical activity were low can be attributed to the fact that since 2006, various surveys in Mexico have been reporting that the percentages of “inactivity”, “without activity”, or “decrease in activity” have increased in this population, and if we add that during the last 3 years, derived from the COVID-19 pandemic, confinement and inactivity predominated, the consequences of this are reflected in the results obtained [ 24 ]. In a study published in 2021 in Mexico with a population of children between 8 and 13 years of age, it was also found that less than a fifth of the participants complied with the WHO physical activity recommendation, which means that the problem starts in childhood [ 25 ].…”

“…La pandemia y las medidas de cuarentena, con particular importancia la decisión de cerrar los parques y plazas y de prohibir la circulación de niños y niñas por el espacio público, supusieron una fuerte restricción de la actividad física de las infancias. Ello creó un sedentarismo obligado por la reclusión, que en las ciudades más densamente pobladas se vivió en muchos casos en espacios pequeños (Betancourt Ocampo et al, 2022). La investigación de Tuñón et al (2021) sobre las estrategias de las escuelas durante el aislamiento y la percepción de los NNyA al respecto, muestra que en la mayoría de los casos no tuvieron clases virtuales de educación física y que sólo en algunos casos los docentes enviaron videos con propuestas de ejercicios (que fueron positivamente valorados).…”

“…En el caso específico de los niños, la conducta sedentaria puede ser especialmente preocupante debido a su impacto en el desarrollo físico, cognitivo y socioemocional (Murillo et al, 2020, Rodríguez et al, 2022. Los niños en edad escolar son especialmente vulnerables a adoptar comportamientos sedentarios debido a la influencia de factores ambientales, como el tiempo pasado frente a las pantallas, la falta de oportunidades para la actividad física, los cambios en los patrones familiares y las tendencias culturales (Betancourt et al, 2022, Alvarado et al, 2023.…”
