Influencia de la Expresión Corporal en la mejora de hábitos saludables en niños y adolescentes

Resumen

A high prevalence of sedentary lifestyles is observed in today’s society, resulting in health problems related to overweight and/or obesity. Specifically, more and more children and young people are easily adhering to harmful habits. From the area of Physical Education, this issue can be addressed through physical activity and healthy habits. For this purpose, a review was carried out through different databases with the aim of examining whether the healthy habits of children and adolescents improve through the practice of physical activity, specifically corporal expression. The results have been similar among the analyzed works, improvinghealthy aspects in the life of the students due to intervention programs in which corporal expression is worked.Based on these results, a practical proposal, a breakout, is presented. The breakout is a team activity which con-sists of overcoming challenges to achieve an objective, in our case to open a box with padlocks. The activities that will be carried out will be called challenges and will be the fundamental axis of this proposal, since the students must perform and overcome them to obtain the reward. This tool will work on healthy habits through corporal expression and will be aimed at primary and secondary school students.
