Background/Objectives: The practice of physical activity contributes to obtaining adequate values body composition and fitness, which is beneficial for people's health. However, a large part the adult population does not comply with recommendations activity, due factors such as lack time nearby sports venues. Immersive virtual reality tool that allows individuals immerse themselves in simulated world perceive visual, auditory, tactile sensations. Its use interventions favors exercise...
Introduction and objective: The constant practice of physical activity contributes to obtaining adequate values fitness body composition, which brings benefits people's health. Even though scientific evidence exposes the health effects activity, adult population has a low prevalence exercise due lack time, sports venues, factors that increase in university students academic demands. One tool could be useful removing barriers not practicing may immersive virtual reality, as suggests it can...
In recent decades, the school population has undergone behavioral changes that have affected their health and adult life. The current educational scenario presents high levels of sedentary behavior, physical inactivity, low fitness, obesity, non-compliance with sleep recommendations. Chile, scientific evidence on associations between these behaviors is incipient.To analyze association activity, fitness BMI minutes in Chilean children aged 10 to 11 years.A non-probabilistic convenience sample...
college students show a great susceptibility to acquire inadequate habits during their university studies, which they could maintain along life.compare the dietary and physical fitness among education other careers at same campus.the sample included 343 students, mainly men (70%), 212 from career of Physical Education (PE) 131 (OC) Universidad Autónoma de Chile, Temuco campus. A validated survey about eating tests were applied each student.in comparison with careers, PE have lower frequency...
Evidence suggests that early physical activity interventions are a means of preventing childhood obesity and more effective when delivered in school setting based on the ecological model. Therefore, present study aims to determine effect multicomponent intervention model adiposity, fitness motor competence children aged 4 5 years.
One-third of the Spanish population over 15 years age did not achieve a reasonable amount physical activity (PA) before COVID-19 pandemic. We aim to analyse associations between PA level (PAL) and self-perceived health (SPH) in aged 15−69 during pre-pandemic period. A cross-sectional study was conducted using National Health Survey 2017 (ENSE 2017) data, with 17,777 participants. carried out descriptive analysis, analysed intergroup differences non-parametric statistical tests, calculated...

Evidence suggests that moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) is necessary for health benefits. Immersive virtual reality a technology uses images, sounds, and tactile sensations from simulated world encourage healthy behaviours activity. The aims of this research are (1) determine the duration intensity performed through immersive reality; (2) differences in according gender. Methods: A nonprobabilistic convenience sample composed 39 university students education pedagogy, who...
In childhood, fitness level is considered an important indicator of health, while gross motor skills are the basis future competence. So far, no reference values have been found for Chilean population. Therefore, this study aims to provide and skill by gender age children aged 4‒6 years. A cross-sectional analysis was conducted that included 728 between 4 6 years old from La Araucanía region Chile. To assess level, 20-m shuttle run test, standing long jump, handgrip dynamometry, 4x10m run,...
