Harry Potter como recurso educativo para futuros maestros Propuesta desde la Didáctica de las Ciencias Sociales y la Didáctica de la Expresión Corporal

La saga literaria de Harry Potter y su equivalente cinematográfica se ha convertido en un referente a nivel social. En poco más de dos décadas han pasado a ser parte inherente del imaginario colectivo. Amplios sectores sociales y un rango significativo de generaciones se han visto influidos por el universo mágico de Potter, si bien la denominada generación millenial se ha constituido en el punto de referencia tanto de los libros como de las películas que, de forma originaria, sirvieron de punto de partida para la difusión de este mundo caracterizado por la magia, las referencias sociales, culturales e histórica, así como los valores más relevantes para el propio ser humano. Se propone la saga de Harry Potter como herramienta para la enseñanza interdisciplinar de las Ciencias Sociales y la Expresión Corporal. Por medio de recursos sencillos que se pueden aplicar a múltiples contextos proponemos una serie de aspectos que pueden servir de referencia para futuros maestro

Mode of Commuting TO and FROM School: A Similar or Different Pattern

The aims of this study were: a) to analyse the association between the mode of commuting to go and come back from school and b) to analyse the association between the usual mode of commuting and weekly counts of school trips by mode of commuting to and from school. Methods: A total of 5960 students (7–20 year old) participated in the study fulfilling the Mode and Frequency of Commuting to and from School Questionnaire. This is a self-reported questionnaire that included questions about personal data and the usual and weekly mode of commuting to go and come back from school. Results: There were differences between the modes of commuting to and from school in commuting by car and on foot in children and adolescents and by bus only in adolescents (all p < 0.001). Reporting a usual mode of commuting indicated 7.7 travels/week (the maximum number of journeys is 10) using that same mode. Conclusion: Our results show the importance of assessing the mode of commuting in both directions and only one recall period (i.e., usual or the weekly mode of commuting).This study was supported by the Spanish Ministry of Economy, Industry and Competitiveness and the European Regional Development Fund (DEP2016-75598-R, MINECO/FEDER, UE) and by the Spanish Ministry of Education under grant [FPU13/01088].

Moreover, to study the changes in the rates of IM from 2010 to 2017 by gender and age. Methods: Cross-sectional data were obtained from 11 Spanish studies. The study sample comprised 3460 children and 1523 adolescents. Logistic regressions models (IM with gender and age) and multilevel logistic regressions (IM with time period) were used. Results: Boys had higher odds ratio (OR) of IM than girls in children (OR = 1.86; CI: 1.50–2.28, p < 0.01). Adolescents showed higher IM than children: 12–14 years old (OR: 6.30; CI: 1.65–23.97) and 14–16 years old (OR: 7.33; CI: 1.18–45.39) had higher IM than 6–8 years old for boys (all, p < 0.05). Moreover, 12–14 years old (OR: 4.23; CI: 1.01–17.81) had higher IM than 6–8 years old for girls (p < 0.001). IM was not associ- ated with the time period. Conclusion: The IM is higher in boys and in adolescents, highlighting the relevance to promote IM strategies targeting girls and children. In these strategies is essential the support of researchers, public health practitioners and families to achieve positive results.Spanish Ministry of Economy, Industry and Competitiveness and the European Regional Development Fund, Grant/Award Number: DEP2016-75598-RSpanish Ministry of Education and Vocational Training, Grant/Award Number: FPU17/03934Funding for open access charge: Universidad de Granada / CBU

Is independent mobility influenced by age and gender in primary school children from Granada?

Trabajar comportamientos saludables y fomentar la autonomía en niños desde el centro educativo es fundamental. El presente estudio pretende analizar las relaciones entre la movilidad independiente con edad y género en niños de 6 a 12 años de Granada. Un total de 1143 niños de Granada participaron en el estudio cumplimentando un cuestionario sobre hábitos de movilidad al centro educativo. Para analizar las asociaciones se usaron regresiones logísticas. Los chicos presentaron un mayor porcentaje de movilidad independiente que las chicas. Se encontraron diferencias significativas en el porcentaje de movilidad independiente entre todos los grupos de edad por género. Trabajar comportamientos saludables desde la etapa de primaria podría aumentar la autonomía de los niños españoles.Nowadays, a significant percentage of children do not accumulate the recommended amount of daily physical activity. The present study aims to analyze the relationships between independent mobility with age and gender in Spanish children aged 6 to 12 years old from Granada. A total of 1143 children from Granada participated in the study by completing a questionnaire on mobility habits at the school. To analyze the associations, logistic regressions were used. Boys presented higher levels of independent mobility than girls. Significant differences were found in the percentage of independent mobility between all age groups by gender. Working healthy behaviors since the primary school could increase the autonomy of Spanish children

The objective of this article was to determine the modes of commuting to school and the distance and time of the way to school among children from Easter Island and from the mainland (Valparaíso), in Chile. A total of 666 children and adolescents aged 10 to 18 years old (208 from Easter Island and 458 from Valparaíso) participated and completed a valid questionnaire including data about age, gender, usual commuting mode to and from school, distance, and travel time. There are important differences in the mode of commuting between students of Valparaíso and Easter Island. Private transport is more commonly used in Valparaíso than in Easter Island (p<0.001). Furthermore, it was observed that cycling and public transportation are not used as mode of commuting in Valparaíso and Easter Island respectively. Students from Easter Island, who travel more distance and during more time, are more active than students from Valparaíso (going 24.8% and 17.6%; from: 61% and 28.8% respectively). This situation is influenced by the geographic context of the island, the distances from home to school, and the type of commuting, which fosters the level of active commuting. On the other hand, the passive modes of commuting to school are higher in the mainland urban setting of Valparaíso. It is necessary to study the diverse contexts of the Easter Island population, but, for now, the rural setting of Easter Island seems to be associated with a greater level of active commuting to school.This study was supported by the Spanish Ministry of Economy, Industry and Competitiveness and the European Regional Development Fund (DEP2016-75598-R, MINECO/FEDER, UE)

Association of Moderate-to-Vigorous Physical Activity, Sedentary Time, Fat Percentage, and Physical Fitness with Gait Parameters in Women with Fibromyalgia: The Al-Ándalus Project

Gait impairments have been found in women with fibromyalgia, reducing the physical activity possibilities in this population and leading to a negative correlation with fibromyalgia impact. The aim of this study was to analyze the individual and independent associations of moderate-tovigorous physical activity (MVPA), sedentary time, fat percentage, and physical fitness with gait parameters in women with fibromyalgia. A total of 84 women with fibromyalgia were included. MVPA and sedentary time were assessed with accelerometry, fat percentage with bioimpedance analysis, and physical fitness with field-based fitness tests. Gait was assessed during a “6 min walk test” and categorized in velocity, cadence, step length, step cycle duration, unipedal stance phase, and bipedal stance phase. Individual relationships were analyzed by partial correlations and independent relationships by linear regressions, adjusting by age and height. MVPA, sedentary time, fat percentage, and physical fitness were correlated with most gait parameters (rpartial between |0.842| and |0.219|; p ≤ 0.05). Physical fitness was independently associated with all gait parameters (β between |0.346| and |0.761|; p ≤ 0.002). In addition, MVPA was independently associated with velocity and step length (β = 0.241 and 0.292; both p = 0.004), and fat percentage was associated with bipedal stance phase (β = 0.242; p = 0.049). Good levels of MVPA, physical fitness, and adequate weight balance are associated with improved gait parameters in women with fibromyalgia.Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation (I+D+I DEP2010-15639)Consejeria de Turismo, Comercio y Deporte (CTCD-201000019242-TRA)Granada Research of Excellence Initiative on Biohealth (GREIB)University of Granada (Plan Propio de Investigación 2016, Excellence actions: Units of Excellence; Unit of Excellence on Exercise and Health [UCEES])Instituto de Salud Carlos III through the fellowship CP20/00178 co-funded by European Social Fun

Objective Measurement of the Mode of Commuting to School Using GPS: A Pilot Study

Active commuting to school (ACS) is a promising strategy to increase the daily physical activity (PA) in youths. However, more studies are required to objectively quantify the mode of commuting to school, as well as the health impact of this behavior. Thus, the aims of this study were: (1) to objectively determine the mode of commuting to school using GPS; (2) to quantify the sedentary time, PA levels, energy expenditure, and the steps derived from each mode of commuting; and (3) to analyze the associations between ACS trips and sedentary time, PA, energy expenditure, and steps. A total of 115 trips were recorded. Most trips were performed by walk (49.5%), followed by vehicle (39.1%) and mixed transport (11.3%). In the active school trips, youths were less likely to spend minutes in sedentary behaviors (OR: 0.481, p = 0.038), a higher increase on Metabolic-Equivalent of Task (METs) (OR: 5.497, p = 0.013), and greater steps (OR: 1.004, p = 0.029) than in the passive school trips (both active and passive modes were objectively measured). ACS (mainly walking) contribute to higher METs and steps in adolescents. GPS could be an appropriate method to objectively evaluate the PA variables related to the ACS trips.This study was supported by the Spanish Ministry of Economy, Industry and Competitiveness and the European Regional Development Fund (DEP2016-75598-R, MINECO/FEDER, UE).

Testing the Mystic School Mobile Application to Promote Active Commuting to School in Spanish Adolescents: The PACO Study

Active commuting to and/or from school (ACS) is an opportunity to increase daily physical activity (PA) levels in young people. Mobile-device interventions focused on promoting the practice of health-related PA can be more cost-effective than traditional interventions in this population. Objective: To analyze the adolescents’ opinion of the mobile application (app) Mystic School, which was designed to promote ACS in Spanish adolescents. Methods: A total of 44 students (14–15 years old) from Granada and Jaén participated in the test of the Mystic School app during two phases: phase 1 (n = 10) for 2 weeks and phase 2 (n = 34) for 1 month. Each phase included an app presentation, a follow-up, and focus group sessions. The qualitative analysis was carried out through NVivo software. Results: In phase 1, adolescents reported improvements in the design and functioning, such as the avatar movement, virtual steps utilities, and multiplayer function. These suggestions were included in phase 2. After phase 2, adolescents reported that it is important to add the possibility of playing without an Internet connection to the game, to include more competitive options, prizes, and to increase the difficulty of the levels. In both phases, problems with the step number counting remained. Conclusion: The Mystic School app can be a useful tool for the physical education teacher to integrate the content from this curriculum related to the promotion of PA, such as ACS.Spanish GovernmentEuropean CommissionUniversity of Granada Plan Propio de Investigacion 2016-Excellence actions: Unit of Excellence on Exercise and Health (UCEES) DEP2016-75598-RJunta de AndaluciaConsejeria de Conocimiento, Investigacion y UniversidadesEuropean Commission SOMM17/6107/UG

Association of sedentary time and physical activity with pain, fatigue, and impact of fibromyalgia: the al-Ándalus study

We acknowledge Wiley and Disability and Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports for publishing our scientific article: Segura-Jiménez, V., Borges-Cosic, M., Soriano-Maldonado, A., Estévez-López F., Álvarez-Gallardo, I.C., Herrador-Colmenero,M., Delgado-Fernández, M. & Ruiz. J.R, (2017). Association of sedentary time and physical activity with pain, fatigue, and impact of fibromyalgia: the al-Ándalus study. Scandinavian Journal of Medicine and Science in Sports, 27(1), 83-92. https://doi.org/10.1111/SMS.12630We examined the association of objectively measured sedentary time (ST) and physical activity (PA) levels with pain, fatigue, and the impact of the disease in women with fibromyalgia. Four hundred and nineteen (mean age ± SD = 51.7 ± 7.6 years old) women with fibromyalgia participated. ST and PA levels (light, moderate, and moderate-to-vigorous [MVPA]) were measured with triaxial accelerometry. We assessed experimental pain with algometry and clinical pain, fatigue, and impact of fibromyalgia with a number of questionnaires. The association of ST and light PA with most of the pain- and fatigue-related outcomes and impact of fibromyalgia (all, P ≤ 0.019) was independent of moderate and vigorous PA. Furthermore, the association of vigorous PA with general and physical fatigue was independent of ST and light and moderate PA (all, P < 0.001). In conclusion, lower levels of ST or higher levels of light PA are associated with lower pain, fatigue, and the overall impact of the disease independent of moderate and vigorous PA in women with fibromyalgia. Interestingly, higher vigorous PA is independently associated with lower general and physical fatigue. These results are significant for future ST and PA intervention studies in this population
