Fortalecimiento de las Capacidades Físicas en Estudiantes de la Institución Educativa José Antonio Galán

Abstract

Physical abilities are essential to maintain optimal physical activity, and refer to a series of qualities that are strengthened with a continuous and active process that allows the student to strengthen all their potential at the body level. The objective of this work is to implement a pedagogical project, through recreational games, that allows strengthening the physical capacities of 23 seventh grade students at the José Antonio Galán Educational Institution in the city of Cali, department of Valle del Cauca. To this end, the research question arises: How to strengthen physical abilities (strength, speed, resistance and flexibility) in seventh grade students at the José Antonio Galán Educational Institution? This project is important for students and teachers because, for the former, it seeks to maintain good physical condition, enhancing and strengthening their physical abilities, which has a positive impact on their good academic performance, by keeping the brain oxygenated. For teachers, it allows having an additional strategy to the master class to reach students through the game and thereby motivate students to learn while maintaining their attention. This is shown by different international and national studies that support this project and that propose that it is important to start strengthening these physical capacities at an early age to promote healthy habits in children, adolescents and later in adults. Finally, the project has an impact on society since it is a proposal that can be applied to anyone at any time in their life, since physical abilities must be strengthened throughout life.
