Resumen
El objetivo principal de este trabajo ha sido analizar las diferencias entre sexos en funciones ejecutivas (FE) y la influencia de otras variables (IMC) y elaborar una propuesta didáctica centrada en las FE de los niños/as de 3 a 6 años relacionada con la actividad física. Participaron 194 niños, 100 niños y 94 niñas procedentes de colegios de Jaén. Se recogió información con el cuestionario sociodemográfico y se evaluó las FE con el BRIEF-P. Al concluir este estudio, afirma que las FE tienen relación con las medidas antropométricas. El principal hallazgo es que no existen diferencias significativas entre sexos; y que el IMC correlaciona de manera significativa la memoria de trabajo y la inhibición. Por lo que el IMC actúa de manera inversa sobre las FE. En consecuencia con esto, la actividad física es una buena solución para evitar el sobrepeso y así mejorar las FE.
The main objective of this study has been to analyze the differences between sexes in executive functions (EF) and the influence of other variables (BMI), and develop a didactic proposal focused on executive functions from the children from 3 to 6 years related to physical activity. Involved 194 children, of whom 100 were boys and 94 were girls from schools of Jaen. Information was gathered throught the socio-demographic questionnaire and the executive functions were evaluated with the BRIEF-P. At the conclusion of this study, it can be say that the executive functions are related in terms of anthropometric measures. The main finding is that there aren´t significant differences between sexes; and the BMI correlates significantly the working memory and the inhibition. So the BMI acts inversely on executive functions. As a result, physical activity is a good solution to avoid overweight and to improve executive functions.
