Effects of HIIT training on academic stress in health career students
type: item
description: High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is an exercise modality that combines brief periods of maximal effort with intervals of partial recovery. The objective of this study was to analyze the effects of HIIT-based training, compared with a control group, on academic stress in health science students from a university in Chile. Three instruments were used: a sociodemographic questionnaire to verify inclusion criteria and characterize the sample; the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) to identify physical activity levels and sedentary behaviors; and the Academic Stress Inventory SISCO-II. The sample consisted of university students divided into a control group (n = 4) and an experimental group (n = 7), who participated in programmed HIIT sessions during the study period. The results showed a decrease in academic stress levels in the experimental group after the intervention; however, this reduction did not reach statistical significance when compared to the control group. It is concluded that HIIT training generates positive effects on academic stress, but these effects are not sufficient to demonstrate a significant difference. It is suggested that future studies increase the sample size and extend the duration of the intervention to more precisely analyze the interaction between these variables.

Teachers' and Students' Perceptions of the Implementation of Elective Courses in Physical Education and Health: Evidence from a School in Santiago, Chile
type: item
description: The implementation of elective courses in Physical Education and Health (PE&H) presents a significant challenge in Chilean secondary education. The general objective was to explore the perceptions of teachers and students in the third and fourth years of secondary school (grades 11 and 12) regarding the implementation of elective courses in PE&H at a school in Santiago, Chile. A qualitative approach was used, employing a case study design. The sample consisted of two PE&H teachers and 11 third- and fourth-year students from a school in Santiago. Semi-structured interviews and focus groups were used as data collection techniques, and the data were analyzed using thematic coding. The results show differences in the perceptions of both groups regarding the pedagogical benefits, academic workload, and available resources for implementing these courses. Factors such as student motivation, institutional support, and teacher training were identified as key elements in the process. The study's findings contribute to understanding the challenges in implementing elective courses in Physical Education and Social Sciences and provide recommendations to optimize this process in similar educational contexts.

title: Implementation of a motor skills program and educational videos for the development of fundamental motor skills in kindergarten students from an educational institution in the Metropolitan region of Chile
description: This research analyzes the impact of a motor program supported by YouTube educational videos and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) on the development of basic motor skills in kindergarten students in the Metropolitan Region of Chile. A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design with a control group was adopted, working with 30 students equally distributed in two groups. The experimental group participated in four sessions combining educational videos (mainly from the Danny Go channel) with motor circuits, while the control group executed only motor circuits. Motor development was evaluated using the Jack Capon Test. Results showed that the experimental group experienced a 29,6% improvement (from 59,5% to 89,1%), while the control group presented a 7,6% increase (from 73,1% to 80,7%), confirming that ICT integration improves basic motor skills development. The study concludes that educational videos, implemented under a structured pedagogical design, function as effective tools that enhance motivation, facilitate visual modeling, and accelerate motor development, with relevant implications for pedagogical innovation in early childhood education.

Acute effect of recreational trail running on subjective well-being in physical education teacher education students
type: item
description: This study examined the acute effect of three recreational trail running sessions on subjective well-being in physical education teacher education students. A quantitative repeated-measures design with pre- and post-session assessments across three consecutive weeks was used. Twenty-four students completed all assessments. Well-being was assessed with the Recreational Sport Well-Being Scale (RSWBS) as the main measure and the WHO-5 as a complementary indicator of recent general well-being. Total RSWBS scores showed a favorable trend in session 1 and significant increases in sessions 2 and 3. Dimension-level analyses highlighted life satisfaction in session 1 and positive emotion in sessions 2 and 3. The WHO-5 showed an upward descriptive trend without statistically significant differences. These findings suggest a favorable acute effect of recreational trail running on subjective well-being.

Effects of Self-Selected Music on Motivation and Physical Performance in Gym Users from Colombia
type: item
description: This article analyzes the effects of self-selected music on motivation and physical performance among individuals engaging in physical activity at Halcón Fit Gym Box and Torres Fit Gym in Garzón, Huila. A quasi-experimental study with a quantitative approach was conducted using pretest–posttest assessments on a sample of 132 participants (52.2% men and 47.8% women). Variables related to strength, endurance, flexibility, and intrinsic motivation were measured using tests from the Eurofit protocol and the Brunel Music Rating Inventory-2 (BMRI-2). The results showed statistically significant improvements (p < .05) in all physical capacities, as well as an increase in motivational perception when participants trained while listening to music of their preference. It is concluded that self-selected music functions as an ergogenic and emotional stimulus that enhances physical performance, reduces perceived exertion, and strengthens adherence to exercise.

Effects of a Boxing and Zumba program on the levels of stress and sleep hygiene in fourth-year students in the Physical Education Pedagogy degree at a University of Santiago de Chile
type: item
description: Academic stress appears when the student perceives the demands of his or her environment in a negative way, considering them overwhelming and losing the ability to manage them. On another hand, sleep is an active and rhythmic physiological state that, alternating with wakefulness, occurs every 24 hours. The objective of the study was to compare the levels of stress and sleep hygiene pre and post intervention of the Boxing and Zumba program in fourth year students of Physical Education Pedagogy. Methodology: quantitative, quasi-experimental, descriptive-comparative. The sample is intentionally non-random. It consisted of 27 Physical Education Pedagogy students from a University in Santiago de Chile, particulally. The instruments used were the SISCO for academic stress and the PSQI for sleep hygiene. Results: it is possible to notice that there are no significant differences in any dimension or in the total of the PSQI Sleep Quality Questionnaire and the SISCO inventory of academic stress. Conclusion: The null hypothesis of the research is accepted, which indicates that there are no effects of the Boxing and Zumba program on stress levels and sleep hygiene in fourth-year students in the Physical Education Pedagogy program in Santiago de Chile. It is suggested to schedule the intervention at the beginning of the semester, when academic demands are lower, to maximize participation. In addition, a schedule with at least 12 sessions of 60 minutes is recommended, guaranteeing continuous and effective training.

Contact injuries during competition in women's field hockey
type: item
description: The objective of this study was to describe and analyze the incidence, mechanism, context, severity, and topography of contact injuries during a women's field hockey competition. A descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted. A non-probabilistic convenience sample was used. Thirty-one players from a division of honor team participated. Twenty-four injuries were recorded, of which 11 were contact injuries. The incidence of injury was 0.0014/1000 hours of exposure. Contact with the ball was the main mechanism of injury. Training was where most of the injuries occurred. According to the degree of severity, moderate injuries were the most common. According to the degree of severity, moderate injuries were the most common. The face/neck was the most injured anatomical segment. Injuries are multifactorial and must be contextualized. Therefore, it is necessary to consider better interventions by medical and technical staff, as well as new and improved safety measures.

Opinions on the Inclusion of Men in Rhythmic Gymnastics: A Systematic Review
type: item
description: Rhythmic Gymnastics (RG) has been traditionally associated with femininity due to its delicate and stylized movements, conditioned by gender norms. Despite restrictions from the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG), males have begun to venture into this discipline. This research analyzes the sports community's opinions regarding male incorporation in RG through systematic review using the PRISMA method. Scopus and Web of Science databases were consulted, collecting empirical articles published between 2014-2024. From 47 initial articles, 4 studies were selected according to specific criteria: personal opinions about male incorporation in RG and aspects related to participants' gender. Three types of opinions were identified among sports agents: favorable, unfavorable, and those that vary positively. Male participation faces unfavorable opinions due to gender stereotypes linked to the patriarchal system. However, close contact with male athletes can transform these positions toward more equitable perspectives. Unfavorable opinions predominate, affecting the continuity of male practice, although favorable ones, aligned with gender perspective and international regulations, promote inclusion.

Perceptions of Teachers and Students on the Implementation of the Physical Education and Health Elective in 3th and 4th year of secondary education following Decree 876 in Chile
type: item
description: The objective of this study was to explore the perceptions of teachers and students regarding the implementation of the Physical Education and Health elective in the third and fourth year of secondary education. A qualitative methodology was employed, using two focus groups as the data collection technique. The participants were four in-service teachers and five first-year university students enrolled in a Physical Education Pedagogy program. The questions focused on the dissemination of the elective, the allocation of enrollment slots, personal and vocational motivations, limiting factors, and the observed impact. The findings reveal a disconnect between the regulatory framework and its practical application, informal dissemination processes, lack of transparent criteria for enrollment, limited institutional support, and deficiencies in infrastructure and materials were identified. Despite these challenges, both teachers and students highlighted significant benefits of the elective in fostering students' physical, emotional, and social well-being, as well as its influence on vocational decision-making. Teacher quality emerged as a critical factor for the success of the elective. It is concluded that, although the normative framework establishes a clear educational purpose, its effective implementation requires systemic adjustments to ensure equity, diversity, relevance, and pedagogical coherence within Chilean secondary education.

The “comings and goings” of Latin American pedagogy
type: item
description: This work analyzes the historical and political evolution of education in Latin America since the 18th century, highlighting the tensions between popular education and hegemonic discourse. Based on the book “From Simón Rodríguez to Paulo Freire” by Adriana Puiggrós (2024), which shows how education has historically served as an instrument of colonial domination, it emphasizes transformative experiences, such as those of Rodríguez and Freire, which advocate for a critical, inclusive, and emancipatory Latin American pedagogy. The role of schooling in the consolidation of Latin American nation-states is examined, where the school was used to unify, discipline, and shape citizens to fit the new social order—contrasting with the liberatory education promoted by Rodríguez. The curriculum appears as an ideological tool that often strips knowledge of its meaning and reproduces dominant logic, although it can also be transformative when integrated with the students’ social context. Notable examples include the Ayllu School of Warisata in Bolivia and the San Carlos Plan in Chile, which connected education to production, local culture, and community autonomy. These initiatives illustrate a decolonizing pedagogy that challenges the traditional educational model. Finally, it is acknowledged that efforts to build a Latin American pedagogy have faced obstacles such as over-ideologization and disconnection from formal schooling. In the 21st century, in the face of challenges such as digitalization and de-schooling, it becomes crucial to revitalize the role of teachers, rearticulate the curriculum around students’ real-life issues, and reclaim the critical legacy of figures like Rodríguez and Freire for a truly emancipatory education.

Relationship between self-perception of coping strategies and problem-solving ability in selected UMCE soccer
type: item
description: The present work aims to analyze and establish a relationship between self-perception of coping strategies and problem-solving capacity in selected football of UMCE. With a sample of 25 players, the Inventory of Coping Strategies in Sports Competition (ISCCS) and the WAIS-IV cube test were used to measure both variables. The study design was non-experimental, cross-sectional and correlational. The results of ISCCS indicate that the most used coping strategies were those oriented towards controlling mental thought and imagination. Significant differences were observed in the negative emotion exit dimension, where strikers scored higher, possibly due to pressure from their position. On the other hand, players with less time in the team stood out in search of support, underlining the role of social support in initial adaptation. In the WAIS-IV cube test, scores reflected homogeneous visual-spatial skills, with no significant differences by position or experience. However, no significant correlation was found between ISCCS scores and the cube test, suggesting that coping strategies and cognitive abilities evaluated in WAIS IV are independent constructs. The study highlights the importance of understanding both the psychological strategies and cognitive skills of athletes to optimize their performance and well-being. As a limitation, the application of ISCCS is recognized outside a competitive context, which may have influenced the responses. Research in competitive contexts is recommended to improve the accuracy of results and evaluate the usefulness of these tools in the field of sport.

Factors that influence the ausence of the Physical Education teacher in preschool education in the Metropolitan Region
type: item
description: The purpose of this research was to investigate the factors that influence the absence of physical education teachers in kindergartens in the Metropolitan Region. For this purpose, a virtual questionnaire was applied by means of Google Forms in different preschool educational establishments. The kindergartens consulted belong to public and private agencies and/or administrations. The results showed that 64% of public institutions do not have physical education teachers, while 36% that do have physical education teachers belong to private institutions. The main factor affecting the presence of physical education teachers in kindergartens is insufficient funding. It is concluded that the State should increase its investment in kindergarten education and it is suggested that Decree 352 be modified to enable physical education teachers to work in kindergartens, in order to favor the psychomotor development of children.

Reconfigurations of the Body: A Philosophical Reflection through Merleau-Ponty and Foucault
type: item
description: The evolution of the concept of the body, from dualist views to monist and post-structuralist approaches, reflects a transformation in our understanding, where the body has shifted from being seen as an object of control to becoming an active agent of resistance. This essay compares the philosophical conceptions of the body developed by Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Michel Foucault. Merleau-Ponty, through phenomenology, places the body at the center of perception and lived experience, challenging the mind-body dichotomy. His approach presents the body as an active and embodied subject, essential to our relationship with the world. In contrast, Foucault, from a biopolitical perspective, focuses on how power structures and knowledge regulate bodies within social institutions. Despite their differences, both perspectives emphasize the body's central role in shaping subjectivity and our interaction with the environment, offering a more nuanced view than traditional conceptions.

type: item
description: The objective of this research is to compare the levels of sexism and gender discrimination from physical education teachers in the school system in four types of schools: paid private, subsidized private, local education service and municipal, at the first-middle level, in the city of Santiago. To carry it out, it will be done using the qualitative approach, of types of case studies, with an intentional non-random sample. In which two instruments will be used, a rubric of speech acts without gender bias and a rubric of generating symmetrical gender relationships, through pedagogical designs and interactions. The results show that levels of sexism do not vary among schools, finding high levels of it in 3 of 4 types of schools. Sexism is a transversal problem inside of school establishments, it is recommended to incorporate mandatory courses in universities that consider gender and gender perspective. Besides, it is suggested to replicate this investigation with more physical education teachers and schools.

Strength training as a preventive method of injuries in no professional tennis players
type: item
description: This study analyzed the relationship between strength training and its possible reductive role in repetitive trauma injuries in non-professional tennis. A systematized review was performed through the PRISMA method between the years 2016-2023, in the databases PubMed, Semantic scholar and Scholar google, using the key terms: Tennis, Injury, Injury prevention, Strength, Tennis, Overuse injury, Training, Strength. Five articles were selected that met the determined inclusion criteria. The selected articles showed a relationship between concentric, eccentric and isometric strength training and injury prevalence reduction. Meanwhile, strength training oriented to muscular endurance and muscular strength did not show a significant response in this topic. Despite these results, it is possible to assure that the relationship between this variable and its effect in non-professional tennis players has not been sufficiently studied, which allows us to deduce that it is necessary to delve deeper into this matter and update the studies related to this discipline in order to address this number of injuries that arise in a non-professional context.
