Programa de calentamiento en educación física de acuerdo a las destrezas curriculares imprescindibles para los subniveles elemental, media y superior en escuelas rurales

Abstract

In physical education, warm-up is a series of preparatory physical exercises before starting a more intense physical activity. The objective of this research work is to design and apply a general and specific warm-up program in physical education classes according to the essential skills of the 4 main curricular blocks for the elementary, middle and upper sub-levels of EGB of the Vicente Rocafuerte, Andrés Guritave and Carlos Mata Coronel educational units of the rural parish of Taday, Azogues, Cañar Province. It is of a pre-experimental type, so there is no control group and there is only an intervention group made up of students from the mentioned educational units and with

students from 7 to 15 years of age who are in the elementary, middle and higher sub- levels of Basic General Education. The intervention was developed during normal class

hours in each institution, for 6 weeks with 1 class per week for each curricular block and sublevel. Before and after the intervention, students filled out a Cspo questionnaire (pre and post) to evaluate their satisfaction and level of participation. The data obtained were coded numerically for their respective analysis through descriptive statistics with Microsoft Excel software, obtaining averages and absolute and relative frequencies. A paired data T-test was also used with SPSS STADISTIC software to show whether there was a positive effect on student satisfaction and participation. The effect of the program was evaluated resulting in a significant change in satisfaction and participation, on average, there was a change from 2.39 to 3.30 approximately in the middle and elementary sublevel students, while in the upper sublevel, the significant differences are very minimal. It can be evidenced that the warm-ups for this sublevel were performed adequately. With the present study, it was possible to conclude that the intervention program regarding warm-up does benefit the teachers in charge of this area, even more so for teachers who are not physical education specialists but who are in charge of teaching this subject.
