Análisis de los niveles de Actividad Física y Autoeficacia motriz en un programa lúdico de alta intensidad en las clases de educación física

Abstract

The objective of the present study is to analyze the levels of physical activity and motor self- efficacy of a high-intensity playful program applied in adolescents of the Unidad Educativa

Fiscomisional San Roque during physical education classes. The study corresponds to a non- probabilistic quasi-experimental design with descriptive approach to evaluate the variables

physical activity levels and self-efficacy as a function of gender and educational sub-level. The sample consisted of 61 students (26 women and 35 men), with a mean age of 14.82 ± 1.17 years, distributed in ninth and tenth grades of Educación General Básica, and first and second grade of Bachillerato General Unificado. The program lasted 8 weeks and was carried out in a physical education class (45 minutes) per week. Each session was observed using the

System for Observing Fitness Instruction Time in Physical Education and the Motor Self- Efficacy questionnaire was applied at the end of the program. The results indicate the

prevalence of active behaviors in 78.45% and a significant association with gender (p=0.02728), the average contribution to Moderate and Vigorous Physical Activity is 12,55 minutes (78.45%). Males showed significantly higher motor self-efficacy scores than females with a difference of 3.74 units (p=0.00297). These findings highlight the effectiveness of the high-intensity playful program in promoting adequate levels of physical activity and provides an empirical basis for improving physical education strategies aimed at promoting active and healthy lifestyles in school settings.
