In the educational field, reading and writing is vital when assessing the efficiency of learning. The present project aims to determine the progress of academic reading and writing skills among students of the Pedagogy of Physical Activity and Sport career at the University of Cuenca, compared to their counterparts who completed their studies in 2016. Approximately 50 students participated in the study, who attended the seventh cycle of the Pedagogy of Physical Activity and Sport career, and who were developing the Curricular Integration Units I and II, in the period March-August 2025. The research is descriptive with a quantitative design to collect and analyze statistical data, structured surveys and standardized tests of reading comprehension and writing skills were used to collect the information. The surveys and standardized tests were applied in 4 weeks, to classify these data, comparative graphs were used to visualize the differences and similarities in reading and writing levels between the two cohorts studied. The results do not show significant advances in the development of academic literacy skills between 2016 and 2025, despite the adjustments in the curricular mesh. Challenges persist, such as the lack of reading habits, difficulties in writing and the need for greater teacher support.

This research has an analytical, correlational, and transversal approach, cataloged in this way, since an association among variables is sought. This investigation used two techniques: the body mass index and the HERZCO method, both facilitated the collection of information. The first technique allowed us to know the body mass of the selected students, whereas the second one provided information about the foot types of the participants through the analysis of the FOTOPODOGRAMA. The population of this study consisted of 270 teenagers from “Víctor Gerardo Aguilar” Educational Institution, with ages ranging from 12 to 14 years old. From this group, 34 students participated in this investigation: 13 boys and 21 girls, aged between 12 years 0 months and 14 years 9 months. To carry out the statistical analysis the corresponding register of the height, weight, and footprint was made. The statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS Statistics software, version 20; meanwhile, for the plantar footprint the KINOVEA software was used. An inverse relationship was revealed in both feet, which indicates that the higher the value of a person’s BMI (Body Mass Index) is, the lower the value of the Hernández Corvo index will be. There was a greater existence of flat feet in the overweight and obesity group, finding a predominance of flat feet in the left foot of the participants
Análisis de los factores que inciden en el bajo índice de estudiantes que obtienen su título inmediatamente al egresar de la Carrera de Cultura Física de la Universidad de Cuenca
(2016) Heredia Farfán, Julio Adrián; Pacheco Arias, Henry Damián; Barreto Andrade, Jorge Antonio
The high rate of graduates of the career of Physical Culture who do not perform graduate work immediately, is a worrying statistic, so it is necessary to determine the factors affecting the low rate of graduate students in the career of Physical Culture University of Cuenca, so we proceeded to conduct a study on the criteria of graduate students (46) and the criteria for mentor teachers (18) both of Physical Culture as other races of the Faculty of Philosophy are collected. Surveys was applied to both teachers and students, while the questions based on three aspects to consider: personal information, academic difficulties graduation job performance and personal aspects that influenced the non-fulfillment. The information collected was entered into the SPSS statistical program, this was used to tabulate the data, making a descriptive analysis (mean, median, frequency, standard deviation, percentages, graphs) from which the following conclusions were obtained: The main difficulties presented by graduate students at the time of his graduation work are: employment status and economic situation, announcing that the lack of resources to investigate, as well as the fact of toiling have been major drawbacks that have faced; on the other hand teachers they believe that lack of time and poor university education have been the main problem for failure to perform graduate work by the graduate.

Objective: Analyze and describe the footprints in athletes of ornamental jumps, artistic gymnastics and rhythmic of the children's category, belonging to the Sports Federation of Azuay, determining the tendency of the type of foot. Methodology: The study is of a descriptive, observational, prospective and transversal cohort type. The method used was developed by Hernández Corvo, the data was obtained by means of the photopodia technique applied to 85 athletes between 4 to 12 years of age, belonging to the disciplines of ornamental jumps (5), artistic gymnastics (54) and rhythmic gymnastics (26). Results: Two takes of footprints were made: static and dynamic. The plantar impressions were analyzed through the Kinovea software, using the method of Hernández Corvo. The data was processed using SPSS and Excel software. In relation to the type of foot and sex statically, we found that the male sex shows a greater tendency to flat foot representing 15.3% in the right and left feet, likewise, the female sex shows a tendency to the foot flat representing 30.6% in the right foot and 32.9% in the left, there are slight variations in the dynamic shots. In the correlation of sport and type of standing (static) there is evidence of an Egyptian foot predominance in all disciplines, there being slight variations in dynamic shots. Conclusion: There is evidence of flat foot tendency at early ages, but as their age and training time increases, this trend decreases. The type of forefoot (Egyptian) predominates in athletes.

Race walking is intended to move the body as fast as possible while maintaining similar to those of the normal gait characteristics due to the requirements and restrictions of the regulations. This, together with the search for speed, makes the gait pattern, seen externally, appears uncomfortable, forced and unnatural. Hence, it is known the bad support made by marchers and frequent injuries suffered in the feet, and according to several authors, the distribution of the forces of each segment of the foot and the floor influences disorders thereof. At work eight marchers participated (4 men and 4 women) with a mean age of 21.63 years (± 4.24), with the purpose of analyzing the plantar support during the race walking. To register pressures portable system for static and dynamic analysis of foot support, PDM 240. The pressures were recorded during normal march and race-walking in 20m sections and valuesof the 7 central cycles were averaged. During normal march, the pressure peaks are higher than in subjects not marchers, shifting pressure towards the outer zone, suggesting that this activity has also modified its normal way of walking. In race walking, there are significantly higher peak pressure during normal driving, especially in the hind foot and forefoot smaller, more displacement of these to external radios, 4th and 5th metatarsal.
Biomechanics of the athletic walk. Kinematic analysis of its development and comparison with normal walk
(2017) Barreto Andrade, Jorge Antonio; Villarroya Aparicio, Adoración; Calero Morales, Santiago
Introduction: The purpose of race-walk is to move the body at the highest possible speed, retaining characteristics similar to those of normal gait due to requirements of the regulation. This, together with the pursuit of speed, makes the running pattern seem uncomfortable, forced and unnatural. Objective: to analyze joint mobility of the upper and lower extremities, inclinations and rotations of scapular and pelvic girdles, the displacement of the gravity center, and prone-supination of the hindfoot in the displacement of the walk race and the normal one. Methods: Participants were 8 marchers (4 men and 4 women) with a mean age of 21.63 years (± 4.24). The ORTOBIO 3D analysis system was used, studying the variables mentioned in three attempts, averaging three cycles. Results: The duration of athletic walking cycle is lower than that of normal walk, mainly due to shorter duration of the support phase. Likewise, the articular movements, inclinations and rotations are smaller, which means that the vertical displacement of gravity center (GC) is less pronounced, the length of stride and cadence being greater, contributing to the speed increase. Conclusions: the article shows six general conclusions that specify characteristics of movement in athletic walk compared to normal walk, updating descriptive and correlational analyzes in the international literature.

In the teaching process, especially during formative stages, it is crucial to employ methods that ensure effective learning. The objective of this study is to determine the efficiency of applying traditional judo teaching methodologies compared to the biomechanical model-based method and the ABC of Judo, in students enrolled in the course “Combat Sports: Judo”, as part of the Physical Activity and Sports Pedagogy program at the University of Cuenca. The study involved 30 students from the Combat Sports: Judo course during the academic period September 2024 - February 2025. Participants were randomly selected and divided into two groups of 15 students, experimental and control, respectively. The sample consisted of 18 men and 12 women. The experimental group conducted their practices in the morning, while the control group practiced in the afternoon. Three weekly sessions were held over a span of three months. The study employed a quasi-experimental cross-sectional design, with teaching methodology, technical efficiency, and gender as the variables under examination. The results showed that there is no significant difference in the application of teaching methods between the groups (p=0.58). However, when analyzing by gender, it was evident that the experimental group had a significant difference compared to the control group in the female group (p=0.007). It was concluded that the methodology of similar biomechanical models and the ABC approach has a positive impact on women's technical performance, while no notable variations were observed in men.

(2018) Talavera Morales, Alvaro David; Ortega Sisa, Erick Adonnis; Romero Frómeta, Edgardo; Chicaiza Peneida, Luis Enrique; Peña Fernández, Juan Miguel; Barreto Andrade, Jorge Antonio
Introduction: Leisure and family relationships are two importance variables in university student normal development; its correlation could indicate some work strategies in the health field. Objective: To relate leisure and family relationships in two independent samples. Methods: The sample selected was 40 students from the Universidad de las Fuerzas Armadas ESPE (ESPE) and 35 students from the Universidad Central del Ecuador (UCE). Two internationally validated questionnaires were applied to establish the relevant correlations. Results: Descriptive aspects of each independent group studied are detailed. The correlation of leisure between the independent groups determined significant differences (p = 0.000) in favor of ESPE students (53.53), while the family relationships did not determine significant differences (p = 0.810) between independent groups. The interdependencies established with the Spearman test did not show conclusive results when relating leisure and family relationships in the students of the ESPE (bilateral significance: r = 0.038, correlation coefficient:-0.329), said correlation being low. In the UCE case, the correlation between leisure and family relationships did not determine a significant difference (r = 0.330). Conclusions: There is no convincing relationship between the amount of leisure and the family relationships quality of the student's research, recommending the inclusion of other related variables for future research. © 2018, Editorial Ciencias Medicas.

(2016) Barreto Andrade, Jorge Antonio; Contreras Calle, Wilson Teodoro; Icaza Samaniego, Valeria Leonor
The movement is inherent in human beings, and in the infant stage, expressed mainly in the game in all its manifestations, considering that man is moving even before birth, in the womb. Thus, several authors argue the importance of giving priority attention to movement in the early childhood education, in which the child will be experimenting and experiencing through your body what happens around them. So, the more rich and varied are the spaces and learning materials, the richer will be the experience of the child, contributing significantly to their motor development and laying the foundations for the motor, which, help to strengthen the other capabilities personality of the infant. The objective of this paper is to summarize the different theories about the importance of human movement in the child's development.

Likewise, a set of semi-structured interviews have been carried out. Among the conclusions, the congress is identified as a space where the academic community questioned the educational discipline from three major epistemological approaches with important pedagogical-political consequences
Estudio de los beneficios de la natación en el desarrollo psicomotor en niños de entre 7-11 años de la unidad educativa Víctor Gerardo Aguilar, en el año 2014
(2015) Ordóñez Quito, Karina Pilar; Salazar Llivisaca, David Alejandro; Barreto Andrade, Jorge Antonio
The psychomotor is a fundamental process in the development of the mind and the body, in coordination with the muscular and the emotional aspects; which can be evidenced in various motor activities. Swimming, to be one of these activities, involves a complex procedure in the development, adaptation and improvement of skills and motor abilities aside from being an activity that helps improve motor skills in a harmonious way. The purpose of this research was to test the effectiveness of the aquatics program, implemented for improving psychomotor development by addressing the human being as a holistic resort. In other words, by considering the human being from his or her various dimensions. In the study, 14 boys and 8 girls between 7 and 11 years old took part of this process. They are studying in the Victor Gerardo Aguilar High school, in Cuenca. Thus, the tests which were applied in the assessment were from Litwin and Fernandez about Motor Assessment, Socio-emotional Evaluation and Childhood Intelligence; the same assessments which were applied before, during, and after the program. The results were analyzed statistically by determining the average and its percentages, in which it showed a significant improvement on the levels of the psychomotor development.

(Universidad de Cuenca, 2025-01-14) Placencia Guerrero, Vicente Olmedo; Barreto Andrade, Jorge Antonio
Physical inactivity, known as a sedentary lifestyle, represents a significant global health challenge. This research evaluated the impact of a comprehensive interdisciplinary physical activity program, based on the Project Based Learning (PBL) methodology and with the participation of families, on seventh grade students at the “Isaac Chico” School. The research adopted a quasiexperimental design with a quantitative and longitudinal approach. The sample, selected by convenience, was separated into two groups: Parallel "A" (control group) and Parallel "B" (intervention group). Two measurement instruments were used: the "Physical Activity Level Questionnaire" and the "Parental Control of Internet Use Questionnaire during Adolescence." Before the implementation of the program, the diagnosis revealed that 67% of the students in the control group had a moderate level of physical activity, while in the intervention group this percentage was 81.82%. Regarding parental control of Internet use, 95.83% of parents in the control group demonstrated low control, compared to 77.27% in the intervention group. After the intervention, the percentage of students with a high level of physical activity (AFA) increased from 9.09% to 22.73%, while the levels of moderate (AFM) and low physical activity (AFB) decreased. Additionally, the level of parental control over Internet use improved, with the mean increasing from 7.27 to 10.59. In contrast, the control group showed no significant changes. In conclusion, the "Activamente" program increased physical activity and improved parental control over Internet use in students

(Universidad de Cuenca, 2022-11-24) Bermeo Sandoval, Angélica Lisbeth; Calle Lalangui, Andrea Estefanía; Barreto Andrade, Jorge Antonio
The present investigation entitled Implementation of a playful program for the development of motor coordination in physical education classes in children from 6 to 10 years old, is framed in the approach because it allows finding solutions to different problems through experimentation and evaluation; In this sense, the type of research is field with a quasi- experimental design. The general objective of the research is to implement a playful program for the improvement of motor coordination during Physical Education classes. With this, it is sought to know if through different exercise dynamics it is possible to improve the motor coordination of children from 6 to 10 years. It is important to mention that different authors have acquired for the construction of the playful program, which support the importance and characteristics of good motor development in childhood. As is the case of the position of Franco and Ayala (2011) that motor, skills are not only to function in the world, but also to become and understand the subjects that surround them with an objective purpose. Within the theoretical framework, the figure of physical education as a subject is also appreciated. The population of this research had made up of 150 children and the sample had made up of 66 children who will been divided by gender. The 3JS motor coordination test was used, which has as its purpose the evaluation of the level of motor coordination of boys and girls from 6 to 11 years old, it consists of 7 tasks that must be carried out consecutively and without rest. The results of the 3JS motor coordination test. Both in boys and girls, in the pre and post of the instrument; in the jumping exercise, it will acquire an average of 3.06 in the pretest and an average of 3.36 in the post test, being together with test 2 the best averages obtained. Which places both applications in the category of "Moderately accomplished". This result is repeated in other exercises, reaching the conclusion that the application of the playful program for the improvement of motor coordination was effective and may have better results if its duration were longer.
