Resumen
[ES] Actualmente es importante fomentar la actividad física en sujetos en edad preescolar, ya que los niveles de actividad física afectan a la salud de estos niños/as. El estudio tenía como objetivo conocer los niveles de actividad física a lo largo de los diferentes periodos del día en niños/as de primer ciclo de educación infantil. La muestra estaba compuesta por un total de 73 escolares (36 niños y 37 niñas) de 2,12 años. Los participantes llevaron puesto durante 7 días consecutivos el acelerómetro Actigraph GT3X, posteriormente se calculó el tiempo de AF en cada uno de los siguientes periodos: de lunes a viernes, sábado a domingo, horario escolar (8:00 a 14:00h) y horario extraescolar (desde las 14:01 hasta las 23:00 horas). Por un lado, los resultados obtenidos muestran que el cumplimiento de las recomendaciones tanto de 60 min/día, como de 120 min/día, tiende a ser mayor en chicos versus chicas (p<0.05). Por
otro lado no existen diferencias significativas entre los niveles de actividad física de Lunes a Viernes versus Sábado a Domingo (p˃0,05). Por el contrario, existen diferencias entre los niveles de actividad física en el horario escolar versus horario extraescolar. De modo que, se necesitan más estudios dirigidos al nivel de actividad física en niños en edades tempranas.
[EN] Nowadays, it is important to foster physical activity in Pre-School children, since physical activity levels affect the health of those children. The aim of the study is to find out the levels of physical activity throughout the different periods of the day in children in the first cycle of Pre-School. The sample consisted of 73 schoolchildren (36 boys and 37 girls) aged 2.12 years. The participants wore the Actigraph GT3X accelerometer for 7 consecutive days, after which the physical activity time was calculated for each of the following periods: Monday to Friday, Saturday to Sunday, school hours (8:00 to 14:00) and out-of-school hours (from 14:01 to 23:00). On the one hand, the results obtained show that taking into account the recommendation, 60 min/day and 120 min/day, in both, it tends to be higher in boys versus girls (p<0.05). On the other hand, there are no significant differences between the levels of physical activity from Monday to Friday versus Saturday to Sunday (p˃0.05). On the contrary, there are differences between the levels of physical activity during school hours versus after-school hours. Thus, more studies are needed addressed to the level of physical activity in children at early ages.
