The SARS CoV-2 pandemic has provided an opportunity to show the importance of bikes use in society due to the social, economic and environmental impacts attributed to it. Being the ideal means of transport in the sustainable development of cities. Thus, the objective of the present work focuses on analyzing the health benefits derived from the use of bicycles in the pandemic (SARSCoV-2) and its effect on environmental pollution. For this purpose, a bibliographic search of several documents published between 2010 and 2020 has been carried out, including scientific articles, newspaper articles, theses, books and websites of local, national and global organizations. Using Mendeley and Scribbr to filter, organize and structure the information. The analysis of the information was based on three parameters: critical reflection, frequency of occurrence of words in a text and co-citation analysis. Among the results, during the pandemic time, the use of bikes became more important with an increase 700%, used mainly for transportation and physical activity, improving cardio respiratory capacity. Particulate matter (PM) pollution has been reduced by up to 12% with the cessation of vehicular traffic and industry. Cycle-inclusive policies will condition the permanence and success of bicycle use over time (post pandemic).

(Universidad de Cuenca, 2020-09-18) Valencia Porozo, Edwin Eduardo; Cobos Bermeo, Nelson Albino
The discipline of athletics is a sporting activity that requires the continuous repetition of certain motor actions to reach the mastery of the technical gesture, by periodically working this movement can entail a risk due to the appearance of injuries that prevent progression and continuation in daily work of the athlete. The research aimed to “Determine the most frequent injuries produced in athletics during the field and track tests, Pre youth category, in the Cañar Sports Federation, 2018”. The study was observational, descriptive, cross-sectional; with a sample of 30 active athletes from the Azogues canton who met the necessary criteria for this investigation. According to the results obtained, we observed that 60% of the athletes presented injuries in training, the women had a higher prevalence (75%) during the study, the injury with the highest incidence was muscle contracture (45.24%) in the thigh area (26%). The modality of medium background and obstacles represented a higher prevalence of injuries (57.14%); It was observed that the main part of the training session had greater recurrence (73.81%) of injuries and the increase in work intensity was the main factor of the same (33.33%). In addition, there was a greater predominance of lesions at the beginning of the microcycles (28.57%). In conclusion, it is vitally important to know the main variables that can make an athlete susceptible to having a sports injury in his technical and physical preparation.

(Universidad de Cuenca, 2022-05-20) Reyes Pérez, David Franklin; Cobos Bermeo, Nelson Albino
At present, there is a growing interest in describing the physiological conditions that change or improve during training at high altitudes. As a result, it has led to specific areas of research, where multiple benefits have been observed, including improvements in athletic performance. The objective of this work is to determine the effects of hypoxia on physical performance with a focus on the discipline of athletics. The methodology applied in the present work is a bibliographic review, it is based on articles subtracted from scientific research works and theoretical bases of training in hypoxia that are consulted from bibliographic digital bases such as Google academic, 1Library Dialnet, Springer Link and DOAJ, to In the search for articles, Boolean operators will be used covering related terms such as: hypoxic training, athletics, physical performance, training in altitude, the articles will be transferred to the Mendeley software to point out important points and make a synthesis, after the bibliographic investigation it will be carried out a summary table of the works used for this topic. The results collected from scientific works show that, training in a hypoxic environment, athletes will have acute and important adaptations at the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular and metabolic level, reaching the conclusion that it will lead to an improvement in sports performance; Since, the body's metabolism adapts to greater efforts to increase: the heart rate, improves the mechanism of red blood cell production, increases oxygen transport, lactic acid accumulates in greater quantities when exposed to a hypoxic state, reducing alveolar CO2 and increasing blood volume in the capillaries of the lungs

(Universidad de Cuenca, 2023-12-14) Bravo Quezada, Juan Pablo; Cobos Bermeo, Nelson Albino
Background: Currently, a sedentary lifestyle has become a global health challenge, and Ecuador is no exception. Lack of physical activity and sedentary lifestyle can lead to a variety of health problems. In this context, it is crucial to look for alternatives to promote physical activity in the child population. Objective: to evaluate the effects of the implementation of an interdisciplinary project designed to combat sedentary lifestyle in seventh grade students of the “Federico Proaño” School. Methodology: The study is quasi-experimental, with a quantitative and longitudinal approach. The sample is non-probabilistic for convenience and was divided into two groups: Parallel "A" (intervention group) and Parallel "B" (control group) that did not receive the intervention. The evaluation was carried out with two instruments: "Physical Activity Level Questionnaire" and the "Healthy Eating and Physical Activity Habits Questionnaire (CHVSAAF)", designed for schoolchildren aged 8 to 12 years. Results: In the control group, the CHVSAAF Questionnaire showed a mean of 11.66 and a standard deviation of 6.79 in the pretest. The intervention did not generate a significant impact on the frequency of eating habits, which remained constant in the post-test. Regarding the Physical Activity Level Questionnaire, in the pretest the average of physical activity habits for all participants was 12.33. Subsequently, in the post-test, the mean remained at 12.33, indicating that, on average, there was no change in physical activity habits after the intervention. Conclusions: The evaluation of the interdisciplinary project did not show significant changes in physical activity and eating habits; However, this does not necessarily imply that the project has failed; It may require more time or specific adjustments.

Background: The physical condition allows the individual to function independently in all the contexts in which they develop (Ordóñez Hernández et al., 2019). The studies by García and Álvarez-Álvarez mention that university students who enter the Pedagogy of Physical Activity and Sports career show high levels of sedentary lifestyle, presenting low values in the different components of physical condition in the variables studied. For this reason, it is important to know the physical condition of those who enter the Pedagogy of Physical Activity and Sport career. Objective: Evaluate the physical condition of the students who enter the Pedagogy of Physical Activity and Sports career at the University of Cuenca 2021-2022. Methodology: Study with a descriptive cross-sectional design, qualitative type; the sampling used is nonprobabilistic for convenience; The study population will be made up of students enrolled in the first cycle. The Eurofit test battery was applied to assess physical condition in two instances; For the statistical analysis, the statistical program IBM SPSS version 25 was used. Results: In the resistance test (course navette) there is a higher value in medium and very low levels, in speed (plate hitting test) there is 100% of students in levels below the average; while in the balance (flamenco) the students lean towards good above the average. Conclusions: Most of the physical qualities studied are average, only two physical qualities proved to be below average, as well as plate hitting (upper limb speed) and course navette (aerobic endurance). It was evidenced that there was no significant variation when comparing the tests of the posttest stage with the pretest stage.

During the early childhood education stage, the development of psychomotor skills is an essential pillar for the overall growth of children. The motor experiences experienced during this phase strengthen this process and promote the acquisition of fundamental skills. In this context, the implementation of innovative resources, such as the balance bike, has become a fun and effective tool for stimulating motor development in preschool. The present research, entitled "Evaluation of psychomotor skills using a balance bike in Preschool II, Manuel J. Calle Educational Unit," aimed to analyze the impact of this resource on children aged 4 and 5. The study was conducted using a mixed-method approach, with a quasi-experimental design and a quantitative longitudinal study, over a 12-week period during the 2024–2025 school year. Sixty-four students (34 boys and 30 girls) participated, selected based on inclusion criteria and with the authorization of their guardians. The Jack Capón Test was used for the assessment, an instrument that measured aspects such as body awareness, balance, general coordination, and hand-eye coordination. The pretest results reflected homogeneity in both groups, although with specific gender differences. After the intervention, significant improvements were evident: girls excelled in balance and one-foot hopping, while boys showed greater progress in ball reception and obstacle course completion. These findings confirm the usefulness of the balance bike as an effective teaching strategy for children's psychomotor development.

Aging is a natural process that involves a progressive decline in physical and emotional capacities, directly impacting the autonomy and quality of life of older adults. This study aimed to evaluate the implementation of a physical-recreational program in older women with chronic conditions from the Chronic Patients Club of the Tomebamba Health Center in Cuenca, Ecuador. A quantitative, pre-experimental, and longitudinal design was used with a sample of 14 women (average age: 65 years) with controlled chronic diseases. Sociodemographic data were collected through a structured questionnaire, and physical condition was assessed using validated instruments: 30-second chair stand test, handgrip dynamometry, and the Tinetti test for balance and gait. The intervention lasted 12 weeks, with one-hour sessions held three times per week. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS v25, applying descriptive and inferential statistics, with significance set at p < 0.05. The results showed significant improvements in all physical variables: handgrip strength (+1.34 kg; p = 0.0002), chair stand repetitions (+4.93; p = 0.0009), and Tinetti score (+3.78; p = 0.00002). Anthropometric indicators also improved: BMI (-0.44; p = 0.0004), abdominal circumference (-2.05 cm; p = 0.0017), and WHtR (-0.014; p = 0.0017). In conclusion, the physical-recreational program was effective in enhancing strength, balance, gait, and body composition, demonstrating its viability and safety as a strategy to promote active aging in older women with chronic diseases in community settings.

Modelo pedagógico educación para la salud y la necesidad de la novedad sobre hábitos alimenticios y actividad física en estudiantes de 8° EGB en clases de Educación Física
(Universidad de Cuenca, 2023-08-29) León Lojano, Wilson Santiago; Rivera Villa, William Xavier; Cobos Bermeo, Nelson Albino
The pedagogical models used during Physical Education (PE) classes should respond to a given historical, geographical, and social context. However, the predominance of traditionalist models characterized by education of orders that do not allow the generation of healthier habits (better levels of physical activity (PA) and eating habits (EA)) is alarming. For this reason, the emerging pedagogical model Education for Health (EfH) arises for the promotion of healthy lifestyles through PE, generating that students maintain an active life and consolidate healthy HA. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of the pedagogical model Education for Health together with the Novelty on eating habits and Physical Activity in 8th EGB students of the Herlinda Toral Educational Unit during Physical Education classes. The research is of pre-experimental type, descriptive level, and quantitative approach, with a sample of 25 students of 8th EGB of the Herlinda Toral Educational Unit. The variables will be analyzed in three instances of the intervention: Pre-test, Post-test, and Re-test. Within the results, it was observed in the Novelty that the students obtained a level of Extrinsic Motivation, with a mean that increased slightly (x̄2.63 to x̄3.24); the EH maintained a predominance of Healthy EA, with a slight increase in the mean (x21.32 to x22. 08) and PA there was a slight increase after the intervention (x̄2.24 to x̄2.52). We can conclude that, once the intervention was completed and the results obtained, it was possible to show that there were changes in the variables (PA, EA, and Novelty); however, these were not significant.

Physical activity plays a primary role throughout people's lives; however, the relationship of physical activity to pregnancy has long been questioned. Although there is scientific evidence that corroborates the importance of physical activity during pregnancy. Physical activity levels of pregnant women according to international studies are too low. In the national context, it has been shown that there are almost no studies focused on measuring the level of physical activity during the gestational period. Objective: To evaluate the level of physical activity of pregnant women attending the "Health Center of the Ciudadela Tomebamba. Cuenca 2021." Methodology: It was based on a descriptive cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach, developed in the “Health Center of the Ciudadela Tomebamba” in the Cuenca city. The questionnaire was applied “Pregancy Physical Activity Questionnarie” (PPAQ) to 32 pregnant women who met the inclusion criterion, during of June 2021. Results: The energy expenditure or total physical activity of the pregnant women is 166.54 METs min/week (normal value 600 METs min/week), which is too low on average. In terms of activities, the activity most performed by the pregnant women is domestic activity and the one they perform the least is sports activity, as well as light intensity predominates, in comparison with the low values of vigorous activity. Significant differences were found in the variable level of academic training. Conclusions: The level of physical activity is low of the pregnant women of “Health Center of the Ciudadela Tomebamba”. The prevailing activities are household activities with light intensities. On the other hand, sporting activity, as well as vigorous intensity, are almost nil.

The WHO established a world health emergency, confinement and social distancing for COVID-19. The purpose of the study was to determine the level of physical activity (PA) in Ecuadorian university students before and during confinement. A total of 1033 students (446 males and 587 females) from the Universities of Cuenca and the Catholic University of Cuenca, with a mean age of 23.23 years, participated in the study. The sample was selected by convenience, with a confidence level of 95% and a sampling error of 5%. The short version of the IPAQ questionnaire was used, which was applied online. The data were analyzed with the SPSS program, applying the Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistics, Pearson's coefficient test, t-test and independent samples tests. The students increased their weight (31.95%); in PA before and during quarantine by sex, there is a low but significant correlation; while, by age, there is a significant correlation in intense PA before confinement; and, in moderate PA and walking during isolation. Likewise, there is an increase in weight, a significant decrease in intense PA, being greater in men, slight in moderate PA, and in walking decreased in both sexes, and the time spent sitting increased. Confinement had a negative influence on the decrease in PA practice and increased sedentary lifestyle; women adapted better to confinement than men.

Introduction: physical-recreational activity, when represented as a pleasant science of immediate satisfaction, is usually an effective strategy of social intervention, which influences all social strata from various angles, including people with intellectual disabilities. However, due to the lack of programs that stimulate the practice of physical- recreational activity including musical activities, they are in inferior conditions than the general population. Objective: To evaluate the effect of a physical-recreational intervention plan based on musical activities on motor development and satisfaction within physical education classes of students aged 7 to 10 with intellectual disabilities at the Institute of Cerebral Palsy (IPCA). Methodology: a quantitative, pre-experimental and descriptive approach was assumed. The study sample consisted of 12 students from the Cerebral Palsy Institute of Azuay, to whom the MOBAK and 3Js batteries were applied. The application of the physical-recreational intervention plan was evaluated on two occasions, pre- and post-intervention. Results: the application program had statistical significance (p>0.05) in the body control variable, where an increase in the mean of 1 point was observed, with a significant increase p=0.039. However, in the variables control of objects and locomotor coordination, no significant increase was found p=0.91 and p=0.27 respectively. Conclusion: the effectiveness of the physical-recreational intervention plan based on musical activities on motor development and satisfaction within physical education classes of students aged 7 to 10 with intellectual disabilities at the Institute of Cerebral Palsy of Azuay was determined.
