Resumen

El propósito de este artículo fue el de evaluar el efecto del Programa Saltando por su salud sobre las variables de actividad física y auto-eficacia en niños y niñas de tercer grado usando un modelo ecológico escolar. Diseño del estudio: Un diseño cuasi-experimental utilizado a través de 4 meses. Sujetos: tomaron parte en el estudio 34 niños y 32 niñas con edades promedio de 9.2 años, con un 30% de muestra de participantes con sobrepeso u obesidad. Intervención: estructuración de la clase de educación física para fomentar  la actividad física moderada, la enseñanza de actividades físicas para la vida y destrezas conductuales, junto con el desarrollo de las condiciones ambientales y apoyo social en el recreo para la realización de actividad física. Finalmente, el desarrollo de políticas institucionales en el marco de convertir la escuela en una escuela en movimientoResultados: Los niños y niñas en el grupo de intervención  tuvieron un incremento significativo en la actividad física  (p<.001) medido por podómetros. Además, mostraron  un mejoramiento en el factor de superación de barreras para realizar actividad física (p<.001). Conclusiones: El programa Saltando por su salud mejoró el tiempo dedicado a la actividad física y a superar barreras para realizar actividad física Este estudio demostró que usando los recursos existentes institucionales escolares y mediante un acercamiento ecológico, se pueden propiciar entornos saludables en movimiento en el contexto educativo.
