El área de Educación Física en España se encuentra en un estado de forma excepcional. Un reflejo del dinamismo, interés y vocación del profesorado de este área se expresa a través de las iniciativas de los profesionales de la Educación Física para seguir formándose, mejorando y avanzando en un campo de estudio que, sin duda, seguirá progresando en los próximos años. La mejora de la Educación Física, en busca de la denominada “Educación Física de calidad”, pasa por unir la investigación con el día a día del profesorado, logrando de este modo una transferencia bidireccional entre ambos contextos. Actividades como este I Congreso Internacional EDUFISALUDABLE, son una gran muestra de ello, en la medida que ha logrado reunir a numerosos investigadores del ámbito de la Educación Física junto con profesorado de este área de las etapas de Primaria y Secundaria. Además, y como consecuencia de la preocupación por una sociedad más activa y saludable, cabe destacar la importancia que adquieren los profesionales de la Educación Física en la sociedad actual, liderando en múltiples ocasiones iniciativas de promoción de la actividad física en y desde los centros escolares, y contribuyendo directamente desde su propia asignatura. Para la Red internacional de investigación en Educación Física y Promoción de Hábitos Saludables, es un auténtico placer poder coordinar iniciativas que ayuden a mejorar la investigación y la práctica profesional en el ámbito de la Educación Física y que contribuyan a la mejora de los hábitos saludables en la infancia y la adolescencia. Aunque la situación actual es poco alentadora, con una asignatura de Educación Física que merece una mayor dedicación horaria, sin duda se debe aprovechar la oportunidad de fomentar en nuestro alumnado esos hábitos de vida saludables que perduren a lo largo de toda su vida. En este I Congreso Internacional EDUFISALUDABLE se ha podido comprobar de primera mano que el uso de modelos pedagógicos, la utilización de estrategias motivacionales y el desarrollo de intervenciones escolares pueden contribuir, de forma directa o indirecta, a mejorar los hábitos saludables, especialmente en el aumento de la práctica de actividad física. Este libro de actas pretende ser un reflejo de ese buen hacer de nuestro ámbito, donde se podrán encontrar trabajos científicos de gran calidad, y más importante aún, trabajos aplicados a la realidad educativa que van a permitir al profesorado desarrollar iniciativas en sus centros con su alumnado. El liderazgo de la Educación Física en la promoción de hábitos saludables queda patente, y por tanto, actividades científicas de este tipo permitirán continuar mejorando nuestra práctica profesional, acercándonos a esa “Educación Física de calidad”.

“…In this way, if the classes are enjoyable, fun and the teacher dedicates time to each student, it will lead to greater student involvement, which will lead to an increase in academic performance (Lirola et al, 2021). However, if PE lessons are tedious, monotonous, and boring, students are likely to develop an animosity toward PE classes, resulting in poor academic performance (Lirola et al, 2021; Trigueros et al, 2020a).…”

The aim of the present study is to adapt and test the factor structure of the Achievement Emotions Questionnaire-Short version (AEQ-S) in the Spanish context of physical education, in order to assess students’ emotions toward the area of physical education (AEQ-S PE). A total of 1495 secondary school students with an average age of 15.66 years took part in the study. The scale was adapted using the Hambleton method and with the support of a group of expert psychologists and teachers. To analyze the psychometric properties of the questionnaire, several analyses were carried out, such as exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, reliability analysis, and criterion validity analysis. The results showed that the factor structure of the questionnaire is in accordance with the original one, supporting the structure of eight emotions. Reliability analyses were above .70 for the subscales. Additionally, the levels of temporal stability were adequate. In addition, criterion validity reflected the positive association of positive emotions with academic performance. In contrast, negative emotions showed a negative association with academic performance. The results of this study provide evidence of reliability and factorial validity of the AEQ-S PE in the Spanish context.

“…However, at the secondary school level, studies have shown that a high internal motivation towards PE classes is positively related to attitude, intention to be physically active and adopting a positive predisposition towards the Mediterranean diet as a result of a positive mental representation of the Mediterranean diet. In this sense, a study conducted by Lirola et al [ 51 ] in a population of adolescents showed how motivation towards PE classes has a positive influence on attitude, behavioral control and subjective norms, favoring healthy and balanced eating. In the same way, but with regard to the practice of physical activity, a study carried out in a population of adolescents by Trigueros et al [ 8 ] analyzed how motivation towards PE classes was positively related to attitude, behavioral control and subjective norms, and, in turn, attitude, behavioral control and subjective norms showed a positive relationship with regard to the intention to practice PA.…”

Introduction. In recent years, the rate of childhood obesity has been on the rise, currently standing at levels close to 20%. This means that one in five children is more likely to suffer from cardiovascular or metabolic diseases. Physical Education classes are therefore an ideal way to raise awareness among children and their families about healthy and balanced eating habits. Method. A total of 113 primary school students, aged 9–12 years, participated in the study. In order to analyze the data, a structural equation model (SEM) was used to analyze the influence between the variables. Results. The SEM results revealed that a controlling social context showed a negative prediction of psychological need satisfaction and a positive prediction of frustration. However, an autonomy supportive social context showed a negative prediction of psychological need satisfaction and a positive prediction of psychological need satisfaction. Frustration of psychological needs was negatively related to motivation, whereas satisfaction was positively related to motivation. In turn, motivation was positively related to each of the factors of the theory of planned behaviour. Finally, intention to follow a healthy diet was positively related to the Mediterranean diet. Discussion. These results revealed the importance of social context and physical education classes in the adoption of a balanced diet.
