Abstract

Physical-recreational activities have become one of the most effective tools to develop human beings in various fields such as individual and social. These type of activities have the function of rest, fun and development for those who practice it. Being that said this context proposes the implementation of a physical-recreational program that seeks as main objective to generation of changes in the physical condition level of children from 10 to 12 years old who belong to the cultural center "Los Eucaliptos". The proposed methodology was a mixed intervention, in which the data collection was proposed at the beginning of the program through the application of the "Alpha fitness" test to identify the physical level of activity in which children are when it comes to jumping, speed and aerobic capacity, to subsequently achieve a positive change with the planned activities. The results were evaluated after the participation in the program through the data collection analysis of the physical capacities proposed by the same test. In addition, the level of satisfaction of the children was measured through the "PACES" instrument that values the level of enjoyment of physical activity. With the application of this project, the aspiration was to promote a healthy lifestyle with activities that prevent diseases such as childhood obesity. The results are shown through tables and graphs where it is observable the increase of the participants‟ physical conditions from the general median that went from low at the beginning of the program to moderate at the end of the same; the level of enjoyment of the activities was satisfactory in the entire sample.
