Immersive virtual reality–based manual therapy training: A mixed-methods trial
Manual therapy mobilizations are common therapeutic practices for musculoskeletal conditions, but their acquisition presents significant challenges as it requires the precise, coordinated, and safe execution of specific movements. Traditional teaching approaches often rely on subjective feedback and offer limited real-time guidance, which may hinder skill acquisition. In recent years, immersive Virtual Reality (iVR) has emerged as a promising edu…

Physical education-based intervention with activity wristbands to promote students’ weekly physical activity
The purpose was to examine the effect of an intermittent teaching unit based on the use of an activity wristband combined with other behavior modification techniques on secondary students’ weekly objectively-measured physical activity (PA). 176 secondary students (12-16 years) were cluster-randomly assigned into the activity wristband (AWG) and control groups. The AWG performed an eight-week intermittent teaching unit (last 15 min of each session…
Validity of activity wristbands for estimating daily physical activity in primary schoolchildren under free-living conditions: School-Fit study
Introduction The use of activity wristbands to monitor and promote schoolchildren's physical activity (PA) is increasingly widespread. However, their validity has not been sufficiently studied, especially among primary schoolchildren. Consequently, the main purpose was to examine the validity of the daily steps and moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) scores estimated by the activity wristbands Fitbit Ace 2, Garmin Vivofit Jr 2, and the Xiaomi Mi Band …
Sport education-based irregular teaching unit and students’ physical activity during school recess
The aim of the study was to compare the effect of a Sport Education-based irregular teaching unit on the high-school students’ physical activity (PA) during school recess. A sample of 91 adolescents (45 girls) aged 13–16 years old met the exclusion criteria. The six classes were cluster-randomly assigned to the Irregular Sport Education group (Sport Education methodology with competitions in recess), Traditional Sport Education group (Sport Educa…
Aplicación móvil Endomondo para promocionar la actividad física en estudiantes de educación secundaria (Endomondo smartphone app to promote physical activity in high school students)
Mobile applications are integrated into students’ lives and, therefore, their use for educational purposes can become a resource to improve the learning-teaching process. Simultaneously, the use of applications can help increase the level of motivation in the integration of physical activity into their day-to-day life and extracurricular time. The objective of the didactic experience was to analyze the effect of the use of the Endomondo applicati…
Physical fitness, physical activity, sedentary behavior and psychological predictors in Chilean adolescents: Differences by gender
The purpose of this study was to compare the levels of physical fitness, physical activity, sedentary behavior and psychological predictors of physical activity among male and female Chilean adolescents. A total of 70 male and 56 female Chilean adolescents (aged 13.00 ± 1.00 years old) were assessed for physical fitness (body composition and cardiorespiratory fitness), habitual physical activity and sedentary behavior (GT3X accelerometer) and psy…
Influence of gender on the tactical skill and motivational aspects in invasion sports in Physical Education
The main purpose of the present study was to compare the objective, perceived and conceptual tactical skill in invasion sports (indoor football and basketball) between male and female elementary schoolchildren; and secondarily was to compare between genders, physical activity ́s levels, intention to be physically active, perceived coordination/competence, intrinsic satisfaction in sport and climate task in Physical Education. A total of 104 eleme…
Influence of air pollution exposure on adolescents’ objectively-measured physical activity and sedentary behavior
Although regular physical activity is recommended for health, highly contaminated air exposure acts to the detriment of the benefits produced in individuals. The purpose of the present study was to compare the accelerometer-measured physical activity and sedentary behavior during the whole day, in-school time, out-of-school time, and school breaks between highly contaminated air days and non-highly contaminated air days in Chilean adolescents. Ni…
The Spanish Adaptation of the Sport Motivation Scale-II in Adolescent Athletes
The aim of this study was to adapt and validate the Spanish version of the Sport Motivation Scale-II (S-SMS-II) in adolescent athletes. The sample included 766 Spanish adolescents (263 females and 503 males; average age = 13.71 ± 1.30 years old). The methodological steps established by the International Test Commission were followed. Four measurement models were compared employing the maximum likelihood estimation (with six, five, three, and two …
Adolescents’ physical activity levels on physical education and non-physical education days according to gender, age, and weight status
All Latin-American countries are affected by the lack of physical activity and its consequences on youth. Chile’s population has shown troublingly low levels of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. This is the first study using objectively measured physical activity levels in Chilean adolescents. The objectives were to compare the compliance with daily recommendations of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity between physical education and non…
Compliance of curriculum standards of health-related physical fitness in Physical Education. A study of planning in pre-service teachers
Los objetivos del estudio fueron analizar la planificacin del profesorado en formacin inicial sobre condicin fsica-salud, identificando errores y proponiendo recomendaciones para su mejora, as como crear un ndice que indicara la calidad-efectividad al planificar la condicin fsica-salud segn los estndares nacionales en secundaria. La muestra se form por 180 profesores (136 hombres y 34 mujeres) en formacin inicial con edades entre 19 y 38 aos (med…
Efecto de la lectura de crónicas deportivas sobre la percepción de justicia y la predisposición a actos de protesta en el fútbol
En el presente estudio fueron analizadas tres crónicas de periódicos nacionales, uno generalista y dos deportivos, de la final de Copa del Rey de fútbol de 2014, para comprobar si influían en la percepción de justicia de los lectores y si consecuentemente originaban una predisposición determinada a participar en actos de protesta. Participaron 462 estudiantes universitarios. Los resultados mostraron que las diferentes crónicas deportivas causaron…
Effects of a physical education-based programme on health-related physical fitness and its maintenance in high school students: A cluster-randomized controlled trial
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a physical education-based development and maintenance programme on objective and perceived health-related physical fitness in high school students. A sample of 111 students aged 12–14 years old from six classes were cluster-randomly assigned to an experimental group ( n = 54) or a control group ( n = 57). During the physical education classes, the experimental group students performed a dev…
Effect of a physical education-based stretching programme on sit-and-reach score and its posterior reduction in elementary schoolchildren
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a 1-minute stretching programme and 5 weeks of detraining on sit-and-reach score among schoolchildren aged 5–6 years in a physical education setting. Forty-five schoolchildren 5–6 years old from two classes were clustered randomly assigned to an experimental group ( n = 23) or a control group ( n = 22). During the physical education classes, the students of the experimental group performed a…
