El trabajo recoge una propuesta didáctica adaptada a la normativa educativa que combina actividad física, juego y enseñanza de la lengua extranjera (L2) como herramienta que facilita los aprendizajes en Educación Primaria. El objetivo es facilitar el aprendizaje de la L2 a través de los contenidos de la Educación Física. El método, la revisión sistemática de la literatura que culmina con el análisis de los estudios previos y los posibles problemas que recogen para el aprendizaje de la L2, así como la relación que establecen algunos estudios entre la actividad física y la L2. Se concluye la necesidad de diseñar y aplicar Unidades Didácticas sobre juegos populares y tradicionales ingleses en las que se utilizará vocabulario relacionado con actividad física y deporte así como canciones inglesas, por la ventaja que representan para el aprendizaje de la L2. Aunque el diseño de la Unidad Didáctica se concibe para su aplicación en toda la primaria, en este caso va dirigida a 5º curso. Su aplicación a modo de estudio piloto se ha realizado en un colegio de Martos (Jaén).Abstract. This study shows a didactic proposal adapted to educative regulations combining physical activity, games and English language (L2) as a means to learn this language in elementary education. The main objective is to facilitate the learning of the L2 through the contents of Physical Education. The method and the systematic review of the literature, which culminates in the analysis of previous investigations and possible difficulties, found in the learning of the L2 and the relationship that is established in some investigations between physical activity and L2. In conclusion, it is necessary to design and apply some Teaching Units about traditional and popular English games in which it will be used vocabulary related to physical activity, sports and English songs in order to improve the acquisition of the L2. Although the design of this Teaching Unit is conceived in order to apply it to whole Primary Education, in this case, it has been designed to fifth level. Its implementation has been carried out in a school in Martos (Jaén).

Background: The time allocation for physical education school-based physical activity is often replaced with other classes in an effort to increase children’s academic performance. However, a growing body of literature suggests that physical activity either had no effect on academic performance or that it enhanced it. Objective: The purpose of this report is to perform a systematic review of the evidence on the associations between physical education and school-based physical activity, and academic performance. Design: Systematic review. Methods: Studies were identified through research of the PubMed, Sportdiscus, and Web of Science databases from 2000 through 2016. The titles and abstracts were screened for eligibility, the methodological quality of the studies was rated, and data was extracted. The main exposure was physical education or school-based physical activity. For the main outcome, studies had to report at least one academic performance measure. Results: A total of 12 articles met the inclusion criteria; four of them were cross-sectional, two longitudinal, two quasi-experimental and four interventional studies. Seven articles found a positive association between physical education or school-based physical activity and academic performance, four found no association and in one there was a positive association for 3rd grade students and a negative association for 2nd grade students. Conclusion: In general, results of the review support that physical education or school-based physical activity is positively associated with academic performance in children.Resumen. Introducción: La asignación de tiempo para la actividad física o la educación física en escuelas a menudo se sustituye con otras clases, en un esfuerzo para incrementar el rendimiento académico de los niños. Sin embargo, un número creciente de estudios sugieren que la actividad física o no tiene algún efecto sobre la mejora del rendimiento académico. Objetivo: El objetivo de este manuscrito es realizar una revisión sistemática de la evidencia sobre la asociación entre la educación física y la actividad física en la escuela, y el rendimiento académico. Diseño: Revisión sistemática. Métodos: Se identificaron estudios a partir de búsquedas en las bases de datos PubMed, Sportdiscus y Web of Science de 2000 a 2016. Se proyectaron los títulos y los resúmenes de elegibilidad, se calificó la calidad metodológica de los estudios y se extrajeron los datos. Las principales exposiciones fueron la educación física o la actividad física en la escuela durante el horario escolar. Para el resultado principal, los estudios debían informar al menos una medida de rendimiento académico. Resultados: Un total de 12 artículos cumplieron los criterios de inclusión, cuatro de ellos eran de la sección transversal, dos longitudinales, dos cuasi-experimental y cuatro estudios de intervención. Siete artículos encontraron una asociación positiva entre la educación física o la actividad física en las escuelas y el rendimiento académico, en cuatro no se encontró ninguna asociación y en uno se encontró una asociación positiva para los estudiantes de 3er grado y una asociación negativa para los estudiantes de 2do grado. Conclusión: En general, los resultados de la revisión apoyan que la educación física o la actividad física en la escuela se asocia positivamente con el rendimiento académico en los niños.

El Aprendizaje-Servicio, como metodología educativa que aúna aprendizaje y servicio comunitario en un único proyecto con base cívica y académica, es una opción realmente interesante para aplicar en la etapa de educación primaria y, concretamente, en Educación Física, por su carácter eminentemente práctico, su estrecha relación con el sistema de valores personales, sociales y cívicos, y porque puede vincularse con el afrontamiento de las necesidades educativas especiales. El objetivo de este trabajo fue conocer y analizar los estudios relativos a Aprendizaje-Servicio, Educación Física e inclusión en la etapa de educación primaria en España, a partir de una revisión sistemática de documentos publicados en tres grandes bases de datos: ERIC, Dialnet y Google Scholar. Los resultados nos muestran un escaso bagaje publicado en torno a esta temática, destacando el tratamiento que se hace de esta metodología en el ámbito universitario y, en menor medida, proyectos vinculados a centros escolares de educación primaria y la Educación Física, que hacen referencia a la forma en que esta metodología contribuye a la mejora de procesos de integración, inclusión y atención a la diversidad del alumnado de educación primaria.The Service-Learning, as educational methodology that combines learning and community service in a single project with a civic and academic base, is a really interesting option to apply in primary education and, especifically, in Physical Education, because it has an eminently practical nature, the close relationship with the system of personal, social and civic values, and because it can be linked with the especial educational needs. The aim of this work was to know and analyze the studies related to Service-Learning, Physical Education and inclusion in the primary education stage in Spain, from a systematic review of documents published in three big databases: ERIC, Dialnet and Google Scholar. The results show us a scarce baggage published around this topic, highlighting the treatment that is made of this methodology in the university environment and, to a lesser extent, projects linked to primary and Physical Education schools, which make reference to the way in which this methodology contributes to the improvement of integration processes, inclusion and attention to the diversity of the students of primary education.

BACKGROUND Globally, cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death. Cardiovascular mortality can be decreased by participation in cardiac rehabilitation. Researchers are exploring the use of mHealth technology in cardiac rehabilitation. OBJECTIVE The aim of this systematic review is to examine the effectiveness of randomized controlled trials that use a mHealth intervention as a part of an outpatient and/or home-based cardiac rehabilitation program on improving physical activity and physical fitness outcomes. METHODS For this systematic review, mHealth interventions were limited to text messaging, mobile apps, and use of a mobile phone network for data transmission, used to deliver cardiac rehabilitation program. Using six databases, the search strategy included published English language studies through 2016. Data was extracted independently by two reviewers, and then synthesized. RESULTS The initial search yielded 149 articles, of which 15 articles that represented nine studies met inclusion criteria. Articles were published from 2010 to 2016 and came from two continents. The majority (84%) of participants were male. Generally, the participant mean age was late 50s to early 60s. Text messaging was the most frequently used intervention. The results of the physical activity and physical fitness findings were mixed. Effect sizes for intervention as measured by the 6-minute walk test ranged from 0.46 to 0.58 and peak VO2 ranged from 0.03 to 1.35. CONCLUSIONS Globally, use of mHealth in outpatient and/or home-based cardiac rehabilitation is being studied with greater attention. However, these studies are limited by geography, gender, and age. Therefore, further research in the area of cardiac rehabilitation and mHealth is recommended, especially in developing countries, among women, and older adults.

Objective: To identify, review, and describe multicomponent physical activity (PA) interventions in terms of: (a) number and combination of Comprehensive School Physical Activity Program (CSPAP) components, (b) study characteristics, and (c) primary outcomes. Data Source: Five electronic databases (i.e., PubMed, PsychInfo, Physical Education Index, Sport Discus, and ERIC). Study Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria: Included articles were peer-reviewed, written in English language, published since 1987, and included multicomponent school-based interventions. Data Extraction: Data items extracted were: school level, setting, CSPAP component description, health outcomes, academic outcomes, main conclusion, and reference. Data Synthesis: Included articles were synthesized by: (1) CSPAP components utilized, and (2) research outcome measured (i.e., health or academic). Results: Across 32 studies, 11 included physical education plus 1 additional CSPAP component (PE + 1); 10 included PE + 2 additional CSPAP components; 8 included PE + 3 additional CSPAP components; and 1 included all 5 CSPAP components. Two other studies included 2 or 3 CSPAP components without PE. Most interventions targeted health outcomes (94%) rather than academic outcomes (6%). Conclusions: Multicomponent approaches aligned with CSPAPs are effective in promoting PA and other positive outcomes for youth in schools. Future research should seek to understand effects of CSPAP components on a variety of outcomes and settings.

ObjectiveThis report aimed to systematically review the evidence for a differential association between objective and self-reported physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness on academic achievement.DesignSystematic review.Data sourcesStudies were identified from searches in Embase, Education Resources Information Center, PubMed, PsycINFO, SPORTdiscus and Web of Science databases from January 2000 to December 2016.Eligibility criteria for selecting studiesEligibility criteria included cross-sectional, longitudinal and interventional study designs. Outcomes included students’ school grade or a standardised test or measure of academic achievement. Explanatory variables were cardiorespiratory fitness and objective and self-reported physical activity. Inclusion criteria included school-aged children and adolescents aged–18 years (or students from primary to secondary school when student’s participants age was not described) and articles published in English, Portuguese or Spanish.ResultsA total of 51 articles met inclusion criteria: 41 cross-sectional, 2 intervention and 8 longitudinal studies. Results from 11 studies were inconsistent regarding the relationship between objectively measured physical activity and academic achievement. Ten of the 16 articles reported positive associations between self-reported physical activity and academic achievement. From the 22 studies that analysed the relationship between cardiorespiratory fitness and academic achievement, it was verified that they all generally support the beneficial effect of cardiorespiratory fitness on students’ academic achievement.ConclusionHigher cardiorespiratory fitness may be important to enhance children and adolescents’ health and, additionally, academic achievement. Due to a lack of consensus across studies, methodological issues associated with the assessment of physical activity should be considered when investigating physical activity and academic achievement.

AbstractVenous thromboembolism (VTE) is the third most common cause of cardiovascular disease. Connection between high level of physical activity (PA) and the onset of VTE is unknown. We searched the literature on the possible association between PA level, especially high levels, and the risk of VTE. A systematic review was carried out to identify relevant articles on the relation between PA level and VTE. The initial search was conducted together with the Karolinska Institutet University Library in February 2018, with follow-up searches after that. In total, 4383 records were found and then screened for exclusion of duplicates and articles outside the area of interest. In total, 16 articles with data on 3 or more levels of PA were included. Of these, 12 were cohort and 4 were case-control studies. Totally 13 studies aimed at investigating VTE cases primarily, while three studies had other primary outcomes. Of the 16 studies, five found a U-shaped association between PA level and VTE risk, although non-significant in three of them. Two articles described an association between a more intense physical activity and a higher risk of VTE, which was significant in one. Nine studies found associations between increasing PA levels and a decreasing VTE risk. Available literature provides diverging results as to the association between high levels of PA and the risk of venous thromboembolism, but with several studies showing an association. Further research is warranted to clarify the relationship between high level PA and VTE.
