“…In a study carried out in a sample of 837 children, the time dedicated to video games was negatively related to that for physical activity, that of learning to play an instrument, and that dedicated to artistic activities, to the family, and to free play [3]. Similar results were found in another study [40] carried out with a sample of 220 Primary school students, where it was found that those students who practiced more than 3 h of physical activity per week had fewer problems with video game addiction, so investing in programs enhancing children's adherence to sports in their free time may be an option to prevent problems related to the overuse of electronic devices or video games. In this last study, no gender differences were found in terms of the level of physical activity, as in the present study, where boys and girls show similar values for physical activity during free time.…”

The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned that a large majority of children do not reach its recommendations on physical activity for health, i.e., 60 min a day of moderate to vigorous physical activity. The objective of this study was to know the index of habitual physical activity in different contexts where the child interacts: school index (SCHOOL-I), extracurricular/sports activity index (SPORT-I), free time index (LEISURE-I) and the total habitual physical activity index (GLOBAL-I) based on age and gender. 900 Primary Education schoolchildren from Galicia (Spain) aged 10–12 years (M = 10.84; SD = 0.67) participated, of which 454 (50.40%) were boys and 446 (49.6%) girls. For data collection, the validated Inventory of Habitual Physical Activity in Schoolchildren (IAFHE) questionnaire was used. The results show a significant main effect on the age factor in SCHOOL-I (p < 0.001), and in GLOBAL-I (p = 0.034), the rates being higher in 10-year-old children compared to 11 and 12. A significant main effect has also been found in the gender factor in SCHOOL-I (p < 0.001), SPORT-I (p < 0.001) and in GLOBAL-I (p < 0.001), being greater in boys than in girls. It is concluded that, as school age increases, a lower index of physical activity is registered, this being higher in boys compared to girls. It is necessary to establish strategies to promote the practice of physical activity from different agents and in different contexts.

“…Sedentary lifestyle associated with new technologies is one of the main factors related to childhood obesity (Chacón Cuberos et al, 2015). New Technologies, and especially video games, are part of children's daily life (Sánchez-Zafra, Ramírez-Granizo, Baez-Mirón, Moreno-Arrebola & Fernández-Revelles, 2019). For these authors (Sánchez-Zafra et al, 2019), the practice of PA reduces the number of students with problems related to video games.…”

The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned in recent years about child physical inactivity. The pandemic caused by COVID-19 meant in many countries the establishment of a period of confinement with the deprivation of movement of children. The aim of this paper is to analyse whether, during the period of confinement, the WHO recommendations regarding sleep, physical activity and the use of technological devices in children under 5 years of age resident in Spain were met. The sample was composed of 280 Spanish children. The results confirm high values in the use of screens, especially television (M = 65.33), followed by tablets (M = 17.10) and mobile phones (M = 8.34). Physical activity levels were detected to be lower than recommended, with an average of 31.81 minutes versus the recommended 180 minutes. As for sleep hours, the recommendations were minimally fulfilled (M = 10.73; SD = 1.72). It is concluded that the period of confinement may have been an obstacle to complying with WHO recommendations regarding the practice of physical activity and screens in children under 5 years of age, which may have further aggravated the health of children in relation to pathologies associated with sedentary life.

“…Exergames or active video games are presented as the perfect complement to encourage physical activity focused on the interests of children because of the games' dynamics, their presentation and also because they generate a different motivation and stimulation in each person that is sufficient to improve PA levels [13]. This type of device has become the technological focus of PA, which supplies the needs of users at the moment of exercise, stimulating them through play and physical activity competence [14]. The suppression of peripherals such as the keyboard, controller and mouse, allows the user to move in a real environment and simulate it within the game or virtual reality, where players without the need to be in a passive position (sitting) use movements, body gestures, as well as voice to develop in the different video games.…”

The aim of this study is to develop a systematic review on the relationship between the use of active video games “exergames” and the practice of physical activity. The Web of Science (WOS) repository was used as the main search engine, using as criteria the selection of longitudinal and experimental studies published in the last five years. A total of eight research papers were obtained, in which intervention programs based on the use of exergames were applied to improve different parameters, such as adherence to Physical Activity practice or improvement on a psychological level. As the main findings, it was possible to observe the need to include these types of devices in the classroom since they can work transversally across much content, and the resources are so accessible that they allow improvements at academic level. Likewise, they favor motivation to physical exercise since with adequate volume and intensity parameters, they are related to healthier lifestyles, and the areas of motor skills and logical thinking benefited the most.
