Artículo Integrating outdoor and adventure education in school physical education. InsiGHTS FROm European physical educators(Elsevier , 2025) Aspasia, Dania; Anagnostopoulos, C; Ntalachani, Kallirroi; Georgaroudi, Kalliopi; Kossyva, Eirini; Lemling, Alina; Adamakis, Manoli; Cools, Wouter; Caballero Blanco, Pablo; Lasaga Rodríguez, María José; Latorre Romero, Águeda; Ramírez Macías, Gonzalo; Educación Física y Deporte; HUM1059: Enfoque Crítico del Deporte -Critical Approach on Sport-Outdoor Adventure Education (OAE) has been increasingly recognized for its potential to foster adolescents’ social, emotional, and physical development within physical education (PE). Іn many European contexts, OAE has only recently begun to receive greater attention as schools and policymakers explore its integration into formal PE curricula as an approach towards sustainable educational development. This qualitative study explores how PE teachers and teacher educators from six European countries conceptualize the meaning, perceived benefits, challenges, and potential integration of OAE into school PE curricula. Data were collected through written interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) framework. Three interrelated themes were produced from the analysis: (a) OAE as a catalyst for youth holistic development, (b) Systemic and structural barriers, and (c) Cultural and contextual diversities. Findings reveal that while educators in Europe recognize OAE’s pedagogical value, its implementation is often hindered by systemic constraints, lack of resources, and insufficient policy support. Erasmus+ and similar European initiatives can act as catalysts towards advancing innovation in PE, sharing best practices, and promoting OAE as part of the broader efforts focusing on education for sustainable developmentArtículo Efekti vežbanja na kognitivno funkcionisanje i mentalno zdravlje: veza mišića i mozga(National and University Library of the Republic of Srpska, 2022) Carrasco Páez, Luis; Martínez Díaz, Inmaculada C.; Educación Física y Deporte; Motricidad Humana y Rendimiento Deportivo; CTS972: Análisis Biológico y Funcional del Ejercicio FísicoTokom poslednjih decenija, prednosti redovnog vežbanja za zdravlje mozga, posebno za kogniciju i mentalno zdravlje, dobro su prijavljene i u opservacionim i u eksperimentalnim studijama na ljudima. Iako su mnoge od ovih studija bile fokusirane na efekte hroničnog vežbanja kod kognitivno oštećenih subjekata, nedavna istraživanja su istakla ulogu vežbanja u poboljšanju kognitivnih sposobnosti i sprečavanju opadanja kognicije tokom životnog veka kod zdravih osoba. S druge strane, postoje značajni dokazi koji ukazuju na to da programi vežbanja mogu poboljšati ishode lečenja različitih mentalnih poremećaja, posebno onih koji utiču na raspoloženje. Međutim, mehanizmi akutne i hronične funkcije mozga poboljšane vežbanjem još uvek nisu u potpunosti poznati. U ovom kontekstu, važno je uzeti u obzir da vežba izaziva mišićne reakcije i adaptacije koje utiču na udaljena tkiva. Kao i druge sekretorne ćelije, miociti proizvode citokine i druge peptide zvane miokini koji vrše autokrinu funkciju u regulisanju mišićnog metabolizma, kao i parakrinu/endokrinu regulatornu funkciju na udaljenim organima, kao što su creva, jetra i mozak. Dakle, cilj ovog rukopisa je da ojača potencijal vežbanja kao korisnog alata za poboljšanje kognitivnog funkcionisanja i mentalnog zdravlja i kako bi preslušavanje mišića i mozga moglo da igra ključnu ulogu u ovim prednostima vezanim za vežbanje.Capítulo de Libro Inclusión universitaria a través de las artes escénicas, la danza y el arte(ONCE. Organización Nacional de Ciegos Españoles, 2022) Alcaraz Rodríguez, Virginia; Fernández Gavira, Jesús; Flores Aguilar, Gonzalo; Muñoz Llerena, Antonio; Educación Física y Deporte; HUM1061: Inclusión Social, Educación Física y Deporte, y Políticas Europeas en InvestigaciónLa inclusión educativa es un tema fundamental que no solo involucra a la educación básica, sino a todas las etapas educativas y a la propia sociedad. Los autores Booth & Ainscow (2011) afirman que la reestructuración de culturas y políticas para atender a la diversidad en las escuelas hace que todos aprendan y se valoren equilibradamente. Esto significa que todas las personas deben estar dispuestas a facilitar y promover la inclusión en las diferentes facetas y aspectos de la vida. En el presente trabajo se utilizaron las artes escénicas, la danza y el arte como medios de aprendizaje, inclusión y terapia en un grupo heterogéneo formado por personas con discapacidad intelectual y alumnado universitario. En el proyecto desarrollado en los años académicos 2018 a 2020, se llevaron a cabo diferentes expresiones artísticas como son el teatro, la danza, la pintura, o la fotografía que nos permitieron compartir espacios de creación, expresión y aprendizaje sin distinción, en la que participarán personas con y sin discapacidad de diferentes entidades invitadas a tal efectoArtículo Analysis of the immune response in padel(Centre for Evaluation in Education and Science (CEON/CEES), 2021) Cádiz Gallardo, María Pía; Castellar Otín, Carlos; Carrasco Páez, Luis; Pradas de la Fuente, Francisco; Educación Física y Deporte; CTS972: Análisis Biológico y Funcional del Ejercicio FísicoHigh intensity exercise and sports activities are closely related to a general state of inflammation that can lead to immunosuppression. This physiological response could decrease sports perfor mance and even compromise the athlete's health. The objective of this study was to investigate the acute inflammatory response of a padel match. 15 elite players (28.2±7.9 years) participated voluntarily in the study. Different pro-inflammatory (IL-1ß, IL-2, IL-6, IL-7, IL-8, IL-12 and TNFa) and anti inflammatory cytokines (IL-5, IL-10 and IL-13) were analyzed before and after a match. The results showed a decrease in IL-7 (p=0.007) and IL-8 (p<0.03) and increases in IL-10 (p<0.04). The results obtained suggest that the practice of high-level padel induces an anti-inflammatory responseArtículo Improved muscle strength, muscle power, and physical function after flywheel resistance training in healthy older adults(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2022) Sañudo Corrales, Borja; Hoyo Lora, Moisés del; McVeigh, Joseph G.; Educación Física y Deporte; CTS972: Análisis Biológico y Funcional del Ejercicio FísicoImproved muscle strength, muscle power, and physical function after flywheel resistance training in healthy older adults: A randomized controlled trial. J Strength Cond Res 36(1): 252–258, 2022—This study aimed to examine whether flywheel resistance exercise training improved muscle strength, muscle power, and physical function in older adults. Thirty-six older adults (64 6 5 years) were randomly allocated to either a flywheel resistance exercise training group (ETG; n 5 18) or a control (CON) group (n 5 18). Subjects in the ETG underwent 6 weeks of resistance training on a flywheel squat device (4 sets of 9 maximal repetitions). Isokinetic concentric (60 and 240°·s21) and eccentric (120°·s21) knee extension and flexion peak torques and mean power were measured. Physical function was assessed by the 30-second Chair Sit-Stand Test (CST) and walking speed. After the intervention, within-group analyses showed significantly greater flexion torques and mean power with the dominant leg (concentric at 60°·s21 and 240°·s21 and eccentric at 120°·s21; all d . 0.7, p , 0.05) and improvements in CST (d . 0.8) in the ETG, while no substantial differences were found in theCONgroup. Significant between-group differences in knee flexion torque both concentric (at 60°·s21: h250.168 and 240°·s21: h250.112) and eccentric (at 120°·s21: h250.103) with the dominant leg were also found in favor of the ETG. There was also significantly better performance in the CST for the ETG (h2 5 0.207). There was a significant association between changes in strength and changes in mean power in the ETG. Changes in physical function outcomes were also observed. In conclusion, flywheel resistance exercise training is an appropriate form of activity for improving strength and functional capacity of older adults.Artículo Analysis of the immune response in padel(Fizičko vaspitanje i sport kroz vekove, 2021) Cádiz Gallardo, María Pía; Castellar Otín, Carlos; Carrasco Páez, Luis; Pradas de la Fuente, Francisco; Educación Física y Deporte; CTS972: Análisis Biológico y Funcional del Ejercicio FísicoHigh intensity exercise and sports activities are closely related to a general state of inflammation that can lead to immunosuppression.

In the context of vocational education, Positive Youth Development can play a crucial role in enhancing students’ cognitive and emotional life skills, which are essential for their overall development and future success. Methods: The objective of this study was to analyze the development of four cognitive areas (verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning, working memory, and processing speed) alongside the Full Scale Intellectual Quotient (FSIQ) in the Intermediate Vocational Training Program in Outdoor Activity Guidance in Córdoba, Spain, and its relationship with cognitive areas using the WAIS-IV test. The sample included 176 students aged 16 -29, who were administered questionnaires under controlled conditions to ensure clarity and accuracy. Results: Results revealed that students generally scored below the population mean in overall IQ, with significant variability. Perceptual reasoning and working memory were average for most students, while verbal comprehension scores were predominantly low, and processing speed scores were very low. A moderate correlation was observed between FSIQ and verbal comprehension and perceptual reasoning, while processing speed showed a weak correlation. Discussion: These findings highlight the challenges faced by vocational students, particularly in areas critical for learning. The study concludes that while intelligence levels in this group are diverse, many students fall below average, emphasizing the need for tailored educational support. Future research should explore targeted interventions to enhance cognitive performance and success in vocational education pathwaysArtículo A Systematic Review of Volunteer Motivation and Satisfaction in Disability Sports Organizations(Mdpi, 2025) Muñoz Llerena, Antonio; Angosto, Salvador; Pérez-Campos, Carlos; Alcaraz Rodríguez, Virginia; Educación Física y Deporte; HUM1061: Inclusión Social, Educación Física y Deporte, y Políticas Europeas en Investigación; CTS1138: Hipoxia y Enfermedades Asociadas al EnvejecimientoVolunteering in sports for people with disabilities is a crucial element for social inclusion and development. Therefore, this systematic review aims to analyze the existing literature on the motivation, satisfaction, engagement, and commitment of volunteers in sports for people with disabilities. Following PRISMA guidelines, a comprehensive search was conducted across four databases, the Web of Science, Scopus, PsycInfo, and SportDiscus, resulting in the inclusion of 16 studies. The geographic distribution showed the existence of studies on all continents, particularly in Europe and Asia, and most studies were quantitative. The findings revealed that volunteer motivation was predominantly intrinsic, driven by values, understanding, and personal growth, with less emphasis on extrinsic factors such as career advancement. Satisfaction levels were generally high, particularly among student volunteers, who also showed strong future intentions to continue volunteering. As a conclusion, there was a limited number of studies exclusively focused on volunteers participating in sports for people with disabilities. This review highlights the need for more research on diverse types of disabilities and the development of inclusive policies and training programs to enhance volunteer experiences. The study underscores the importance of recognizing both personal and professional motivators to effectively recruit and retain volunteers in sports organizations supporting people with disabilitiesArtículo La gamificación en la formación del profesorado de educación física: un análisis de las guías docentes del máster de formación del profesorado(Universidad Católica de Murcia, 2025) Flores Aguilar, Gonzalo; Gomez del Rey, Pilar; Muñoz Llerena, Antonio; Medina Rebollo, Daniel; Educación Física y Deporte; Didáctica de las Matemáticas; HUM1061: Inclusión Social, Educación Física y Deporte, y Políticas Europeas en InvestigaciónEste estudio explora la presencia de la gamificación en los distintos apartados de las guías docentes de las asignaturas de la especialidad de Educación Física en los Másteres Universitarios de Formación del Profesorado de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria y Bachillerato, Formación Profesional y Enseñanzas de Idiomas en España. Se realizó un análisis cualitativo y descriptivo de un total de 237 guías docentes procedentes de 54 universidades, tanto públicas como privadas. Los resultados evidencian una presencia limitada y desigual de la gamificación, lo que sugiere una posible carencia en la formación teórico-práctica del futuro profesorado. En este contexto, y considerando el creciente impacto científico de la gamificación en los últimos años —especialmente por los efectos positivos que se le atribuyen—, pero también reconociendo la existencia de una visión acrítica que puede conducir a implementaciones inadecuadas y efectos contraproducentes en el alumnado, este estudio subraya la necesidad de reforzar la formación docente en esta materia. La inclusión adecuada de la gamificación en las guías docentes podría representar un primer paso hacia una integración más sólida y fundamentada en los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje.Artículo Impact of Physical Activity on Autonomy and Quality of Life in Individuals with Down Syndrome: A Systematic Review(Mdpi, 2024) Muñoz Llerena, Antonio; Ladrón de Guevara, Laura; Medina Rebollo, Daniel; Alcaraz Rodríguez, Virginia; Educación Física y Deporte; HUM1061: Inclusión Social, Educación Física y Deporte, y Políticas Europeas en InvestigaciónAbstract: Down syndrome (DS) is the most common genetic alteration in humans, resulting from the trisomy of chromosome 21. Individuals with DS are characterized by physical traits and limitations related to intellectual functioning and the development of motor skills. People with DS tend to have lower levels of physical activity (PA) than the general population, despite its benefits for health and quality of life, which could be caused by barriers such as the lack of adapted programs or knowledge on how to adapt them. Therefore, this systematic review aimed to examine the impact of physical activity or sports programs on autonomy and quality of life in individuals with DS. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines were followed to search four databases (Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and SportDiscus), adhering to the population, intervention, comparison, and outcome strategy. A total of 13 studies were selected that followed different training programs (combined training, adapted football, technology-based, pulmonary training, gymnastics and dance, water-based, and whole body vibration). Most of the interventions provided benefits for autonomy or quality of life (physical, psychological, cognitive, emotional, and social) in people with DS. In conclusion, the benefits of physical activity and sports programs adapted to people with DS are positive.Artículo The limits of the boxing ring: Respect for sexual diversity in combat vs. non-combat sports in Spain(Stowarzyszenie Idokan Polska, 2021) Rodríguez Sánchez, Augusto Rembrandt; Perrino Pena, Maria; Channon, A. G; Piedra de la Cuadra, Joaquín; Educación Física y Deporte; HUM1059: Enfoque Crítico del Deporte -Critical Approach on Sport-Background. Tolerance towards sexual diversity is a key topic for contemporary research among sport studies scholars. This builds on decades of research which has consistently shown sports – and in particular, those with strong links to traditional ideals of masculinity – to be areas where gender and sexual minorities are excluded. Problem and aim. This paper aims to analyse attitudes towards sexual diversity among sportspeople in Spain, specifically investigating possible differences between practitioners of combat sports versus those practising other sports. Material and methods. The present study followed a transversal and descriptive design, where a survey technique was used to collect data on a sample consisting of 766 athletes (516 men and 250 women). The survey employed was the Attitudes towards Sexual Diversity in Sport scale, which measures levels of rejection of sexual diversity in sport, allowing for comparative analyses across populations. Results. Statistical analysis revealed that attitudes towards sexual diversity differed significantly according to age, sex, and participation in combat sports versus other sporting disciplines. Specifically, the highest degrees of rejection of sexual diversity are observed among males, people under 22 years of age, and sportspeople who do not practice combat sports. Conclusions. It appears that more open-minded and tolerant attitudes exist among combat sports practitioners than those of other sports, which contrasts with social stereotypes which suggest these sports are bastions of orthodox masculinity, homophobia, and exclusion. Further research into why this is the case is advocated, particularly given the observation that such tolerance is less well pronounced among younger sportspeople and males in particular Gender identity, Homohysteria, Homophobia, Martial arts, LGBTIQArtículo The Mediating Role of e-Lifestyles to Use the Fitness Center App(Taylor & Francis, 2024) Ferreira Barbosa, Helena Isabel Ludovino; García Fernández, Jerónimo; Cepeda-Carrión, Gabriel; Educación Física y Deporte; SEJ525: Gestión e Innovación en Servicios Deportivos, Ocio y Recreación; SEJ573: Cultura Organizativa, Capacidades y Conocimiento para la Creación de ValorThis paper studies the effect of e-Lifestyles on the fitness industry. The aim is to investigate the (mediating) role of e-Lifestyles in the relationship between behavioral intentions to use the fitness center app, app usage behavior, and member overall satisfaction with the fitness center, i.e., explain whether e-Lifestyles allow us to better understand fitness center satisfaction or app usage intention. Results of 1403 members revealed that the relationship between behavioral intentions to use the app and the members’ overall satisfaction with the fitness center is positively mediated by e-Lifestyles. Results further demonstrate that there is a direct positive effect of behavioral usage intentions of the app-on-app usage behavior and overall member satisfaction toward the fitness center. The study adds to the literature on e-Lifestyles by demonstrating its significance in the context of fitness center management. This study helps managers conduct more thorough marketing plans and develop differentiated strategies and provides information for app designersArtículo The use of a fitness app for customer recommendation: linear models and qualitative comparative analysis(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2023) García Pascual, Fernando; Calabuig, Ferran; Calabuig, Ferran; García Fernández, Jerónimo; Educación Física y Deporte; SEJ525: Gestión e Innovación en Servicios Deportivos, Ocio y RecreaciónThe use of technology within sports services has become an important field of study. Currently, the vast majority of sports services offer their users mobile applications to facilitate aspects such as communication and information. Within fitness centres, these mobile applications have become key elements to keep users informed and to reinforce behaviours such as loyalty towards the service. This study analyses the influence of mobile applications used in fitness centres on users’ recommendations of the app. Two methodologies were used to measure users’ perceptions: linear models and qualitative comparative analysis. The main results show that certain dimensions of the Mobile App Rating Scale (MARS) have a strong influence on users’ future app recommendations as well as the influence of users’ gender and age. It is important for managers of these sports services to implement technologies that provide two-way communication with users and therefore facilitate positive app recommendations. Furthermore, analysing the data using these two methodologies offers researchers a more detailed examination to better understand customers’ perceptions and, consequently, to establish more precise actions within the serviceArtículo Factors associated with perceived quality in Turkish fitness centres: a qualitative perspective(Scielo, 2022) Sevilmiş, Ali; Çevik, Hüseyin; García Fernández, Jerónimo; Educación Física y Deporte; SEJ525: Gestión e Innovación en Servicios Deportivos, Ocio y RecreaciónThis study aimed to define the general factors affecting the quality of fitness centres from the point of view of the members’ opinions and the relation densities of the features within these factors. The study was carried out using the qualitative method. Data coding was done utilising MAXQDA, a qualitative data analysis program. MAXQDA’s code co-occurrence model feature is employed to visualise code relationships. According to the research findings, the most intense relationship that the factors affecting the staff quality perception of fitness centres have with each other was defined as “Willing to help-Friendliness”. When looking at the results obtained in other factors, codes of “Expertise-Communication” for the quality of the trainer, “Facility Atmosphere-Air conditioning” for the quality of the physical environment, and “Meeting the need-Program variety” for the program quality were associated with each other. Findings from this study provide implications for facility managers who need to closely monitor fitness centres’ physical environment, staff, instructors, program quality and implement remedial measures as neededArtículo Gestão do desporto nas autarquias locais: uma análise conceptual sobre empresas municipais de desporto(Scielo, 2023) Teixeira, Mário; Nunes, Vitor; García Fernández, Jerónimo; Sesinando, André; Educación Física y Deporte; SEJ525: Gestión e Innovación en Servicios Deportivos, Ocio y RecreaciónA investigação centra-se na caracterização das empresas municipais de desporto em Portugal, tendo como objetivo identificar a constituição temporal, distribuição territorial e o impacto na população. Metodologicamente, seguiu-se uma abordagem exploratória com recurso a métodos quantitativos-descritivos na análise e tratamento dos dados. A amostra (n= 18) foi definida após interpretação e análise documental da Lista de Empresas Locais 2021 (n= 173) e Relatório de Contas de 2017 a 2020. Os resultados demonstram que a maioria das empresas municipais de desporto situa-se na região norte do país (56%), têm como principal área de atividade a gestão de instalações desportivas (89%) e foram constituídas sobretudo entre 1992 e 2006 com maior incidência entre 1999 e 2002 (67%), abrangendo 6% dos municípios portugueses, 8% das freguesias municipais e 18% do total da população. Considerando o conhecimento científico neste âmbito, a investigação revela uma diminuição deste tipo de organização ao longo das últimas décadas, essencialmente por cessão de atividade, mudança de código de atividade económica ou maior especificação das categorias das empresas municipais. A sua implementação é reduzida e concentrada territorialmente, onde se incluem 11 distritos, 18 municípios, 249 freguesias, correspondendo a 6% do território e com um impacto direto em aproximadamente 2 milhões de cidadãosArtículo Teacher's Guide – Outdoor Adventure Education for the Promotion of Students' Social and Emotional Learning as part of the Physical Education Curriculum(University of Luxembourg, 2025) Muittari, Jussi; Dania, Aspasia; Adamakis, Manolis; Popeska, Biljiana; Cools, Wouter; Caballero Blanco, Pablo; Lasaga Rodríguez, María José; Latorre Romero, Águeda; Ramírez Macías, Gonzalo; Educación Física y Deporte; HUM1059: Enfoque Crítico del Deporte -Critical Approach on Sport-Artículo Feasibility, Safety, and Effects of an Aerobic Training Program with Blood Flow Restriction on Functional Capacity, and Symptomatology in Women with Fibromyalgia: A Pilot Study(MDPI, 2024) Rodríguez Bautista, José Carlos; López Lluch, Guillermo; Rodríguez Torres, Patricia;; López Moral, Álvaro; Quijada Carrera, Jesús; Bueno Antequera, Javier; Blanco Suárez, Manuel; Cáceres Calle, Óscar; Munguia Izquierdo, Diego; Educación Física y DeporteBackground: Evidence suggests that aerobic training with blood flow restriction is beneficial for treating fibromyalgia. This study evaluated the feasibility, safety, and effects of an aerobic training program with blood flow restriction for women with fibromyalgia. Methods: Thirty-seven women with fibromyalgia were included, and thirteen with an average age of 59 ± 3, a BMI of 26 ± 3, and who were polymedicated started the intervention period. The intervention group performed aerobic exercise with blood flow restriction using occlusive bands placed in the upper part of the rectus femoris, with a total duration of 14 min of restriction divided into two periods of 7 min with a rest period of 3 min and a total session duration of 17 min. Pressure intensity was measured using the visual pain scale (VAS), scoring 7 out of 10 (n = 7). The non-intervention group performed aerobic exercise without restriction of blood flow for the same periods, rest periods, and total duration of the session (n = 6). The intervention included 2 weekly sessions with 72 h between aerobic walking for 9 weeks. Walking was measured individually using the rating of perceived exertion scale (RPE) with an intensity between 6 and 7 out of 10. Visual and verbal support for the VAS and RPE scale was always provided throughout the sessions supervised by the investigator. Functional capacity was assessed using tests (six-minute walk test, incremental shuttle walk test, knee extension and handgrip test by dynamometer, 30 s chair stand test, and timed up-and-go test). Symptomatology was assessed using questionnaires (Widespread Pain Index, Symptom Severity Score, Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire, and Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory), and blood samples were collected. Results: There were no adverse effects, and only one participant in the intervention group withdrew. Betweengroup and intragroup differences showed that the intervention group obtained improvements in the functional tests; CST p = 0.005; 6MWT p = 0.011; Handgrip p = 0.002; TUGT p = 0.002 with reduced impact of the disease according to the questionnaires; FIQ Stiffness p = 0.027 compared with the nonintervention group. Biochemical results remained within normal ranges in both groups. Conclusions: Blood flow-restricted aerobic training may be feasible, safe, and more effective than unrestricted aerobic training as a physical exercise prescription tool to improve cardiorespiratory fitness, strength, balance, and stiffness in women with fibromyalgiaArtículo Effects of exercise on cancer‑related cognitive impairment in breast cancer survivors: a scoping review(Springer, 2023) Orellana Jaén, Jesús; Carrasco Páez, Luis; Mora Fernández, Matilde; Educación Física y Deporte; CTS972: Análisis Biológico y Funcional del Ejercicio FísicoCancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) is one of the major long-term concerns reported by breast cancer survivors after overcoming the disease. The present study undertakes a scoping review of relevant research publications to explore the effect of increasing physical activity (PA) levels or the use of exercise (EX)-based programs on CRCI in female breast cancer survivors; who have completed neo/adjuvant chemotherapy treatment and are awaiting or receiving hormonal therapy. Methods An electronic search of Pubmed, Embase, Scopus, WOS, and Cochrane databases has been conducted to identify published literature from January 2000 to December 2021. Results Of 1129 articles, twenty met the inclusion criteria. The majority of the included observational studies (90%) reported cross-sectional design; meanwhile, 72% of experimental research reported randomized controlled trials (RCTs) or randomized crossover trials. 15 neuropsychological batteries and tests, and 5 self-reported validated questionnaires were employed. Only 27% of the included articles used a combination of the previously mentioned methods. The recorder of moderate–vigorous PA (MVPA), defined as more than 3 METs, or represented as average daily minutes spent (≥ 1952 counts/min) was the most analyzed variable in cross-sectional studies, and EX programs based on aerobic training (AT) were the most proposed by RCTs. Conclusions The exploratory approach of this review demonstrates modest but increasingly promising evidence regarding exercise’s potential to improve brain health among breast cancer survivors although these findings highlight the importance of addressing methodological heterogeneity in the same direction with the view of using exercise within the clinic area.Artículo Implications of the use of the social media Instagram as a teaching resource for university students(Red Univ. Campus Virtuales, 2023) Salazar Martínez, Eduardo; Serrano Brazo, Mauricio; Fernández Ozcorta, Eduardo J.; Salado Tarodo, Jesús; Ramos Véliz, Rafael; Sánchez Sixto, Alberto; Álvarez Barbosa, Francisco; Educación Física y Deporte; HUM1055: Epidemiology of Physical Activity and Fitness Across LifespanLas funcionalidades de las diferentes redes sociales permiten en tiempo real y diferido, la colaboración y divulgación de información académica y científica.
