“…PA before quarantine was measured by a short version of the international PA questionnaire (IPAQ), Spanish version (Cancela et al, 2019). This measure assesses the types of intensities of PA and the amount of time that people spend sitting as part of their daily lives, considered in metabolic equivalent of task (MET)-min/week.…”

The main purpose of the present study was to determine the association of physical activity (PA) patterns prior to COVID-19 confinement with severe respiratory distress consistent with COVID-19 symptoms. Participants were recruited by sending a survey through various social network channels via the snowball method. A voluntary sample of 420 individuals consisting of 199 men and 221 women from the Spanish national territory participated in this study. Some factors, such as being overweight and obese were related to the presence of a greater number of symptoms associated with COVID-19. Interestingly, it was observed that not performing moderate or vigorous PA increased the risk of COVID-19 symptoms. Consequently, when the effect of the practise of PA was evaluated in terms of the number of practises per week and in minutes per practise per week, a protective effect was observed, where moderate PA >150 min per week reported an inverse association with hospitalization for respiratory symptoms

“…According to Eurofit normative values [ 21 ], the U14, cadets and junior karatekas assessed in this research showed a higher level of physical fitness than the general population of the same age. Similarly, the U21 karatekas showed higher fitness levels than those shown by populations of similar age [ 22 ]. This finding is expected since participants in this study were top karatekas who were taking part in high-level competitions.…”

To provide information regarding the anthropometric and fitness profile of young karatekas and to study its evolution with age. Data from top-level karatekas were included in the analysis: 97 athletes in the U14 category (12–13 years old), 238 in cadet (14–15 years old), 261 in junior (16–17 years old) and 177 in U21 (18–20 years old), which makes a total of 773 athlete data sets. Karatekas underwent anthropometric (weight, height, body mass index and body fat percentage) and fitness (sit and reach, 20-m shuttle run, standing long jump, overhead 3-kg ball throw, 10x5-m shuttle run, and plate-tapping) assessments during the training camps organized by the Spanish National Karate Federation between 1999 and 2016. Male karatekas were taller and heavier, and performed better than females in all the fitness dimensions assessed, except for flexibility and speed of upper limb movements. The obtained cardiovascular and lower-body muscular values indicated that karatekas in this study were placed between the 80th and the 90th percentile when compared with the general population. The results of the agility, coordination and speed of upper limb movements, and flexibility tests showed that the karatekas obtained much higher scores than those observed in age-matched populations. Young karatekas show a high fitness level in comparison with the general population, especially with regards to aerobic performance, lower-body muscular power and upper-limb movement speed. Reference values of anthropometric and fitness dimensions are provided in order to be used by coaches, conditioning trainers and sport scientists when testing young male and female karatekas.

“…La valoración del tiempo invertido en la práctica de AF para los grupos control y experimental TIC se llevó a cabo mediante el Cuestionario IPAQ S7 (Cancela et al, 2019), cuya fiabilidad es de r = .76; IC 95%: .73-.77 (Craig et al, 2003;Mantilla & Gómez-Conesa, 2007). La elección de esta herramienta obedeció a criterios de economía y facilidad a la hora de utilizarlo (Yu et al, 2015).…”

La evolución de las TIC como recurso educativo ha hecho que estas estén presentes en todas las áreas de conocimiento y en las diferentes etapas formativas. El presente trabajo analiza la eficacia de un programa de educación para la salud fundamentado en el uso de diferentes dispositivos tecnológicos y aplicaciones informáticas para el control de los hábitos de actividad física saludable de los estudiantes de los grados universitarios en Magisterio impartidos en la Facultad de Educación (Universidad de Zaragoza). La muestra final, una vez aplicados los criterios de exclusión, fue de 80 estudiantes. Fueron distribuidos en tres grupos: uno control y dos experimentales (app y pulseras de actividad física), respetando la proporcionalidad de las matriculaciones. Tras una evaluación inicial de la actividad física (cuestionario IPAQ), los estudiantes se marcaron sus propios objetivos individuales de acuerdo con las recomendaciones marcadas por la OMS para la población adulta. Al cabo de siete semanas se procedió a una nueva medición con el mismo instrumento. Los resultados mostraron un incremento en el tiempo de realización de actividad física en los grupos que emplearon las TIC, especialmente aquel que utilizó las pulseras inteligentes. Finalmente, podemos afirmar que las TIC no solamente son importantes en la educación en general, sino que lo son en temas transversales tan importantes como la educación para la salud y en el mantenimiento de un estilo de vida activo. === The evolution of ICTs as an educational resource has materialized their presence in all areas of knowledge and in the different educational stages. This paper analyses the effectiveness of a health education programme based on the use of different technological devices and computer applications to control the healthy physical activity habits of students in the Magisterium University Degrees taught at the Faculty of Education (University of Zaragoza). The final sample, once the exclusion criteria had been applied, consisted of 80 participants. They were randomly distributed in three groups, one of which was a control group and the other two were experimental groups (app and physical activity bracelets), according to the proportionality of the matriculations. After an initial evaluation of physical activity (IPAQ questionnaire), the students set their own individual objectives in accordance with the WHO recommendations for the adult population. Seven weeks later, a new measurement was made with the same instrument. The results showed an increase in physical activity time in groups using ICT, especially the one using intelligent bracelets. Finally, we can affirm that ICTs are not only important in education in general, yet also in transversal themes as important as health education and the maintenance of an active lifestyle.
