Publication Open Access Evaluación de los dominios de la actividad física y los componentes de la condición física en niños de 4-5 años en un centro de salud(Lúa Ediciones 3.0, 2023) Legarra Gorgoñón, Gaizka; García Alonso, Yesenia; Ramírez Vélez, Robinson; Erice Echegaray, Blanca; Moreno González, Paula; Izquierdo Redín, Mikel; Alonso Martínez, Alicia; Ciencias de la Salud; Osasun ZientziakIntroducción: la falta de actividad física y el sedentarismo en niños se asocia con una mayor adiposidad, bajo nivel de aptitud cardiovascular y riesgo de enfermedades cardiovasculares. Sin embargo, cumplir con las recomendaciones de actividad física se relaciona con mejoras en la salud mental, disminución de la ansiedad y depresión, así como adopción de hábitos saludables. Objetivos: evaluar la relación entre los diferentes dominios de la actividad física y del sedentarismo, medidos de forma objetiva, y los componentes de la condición física en niños españoles de 4 y 5 años. Población y métodos: estudio transversal dentro del proyecto 'Observatorio y programa de intervención de ejercicio físico y estilos de vida en familia para niños y niñas de 4 a 5 años en Atención Primaria' (https://observatorioactividadfisica.es). La condición física se evaluó con la batería PREFIT y la cantidad e intensidad de actividad física mediante un acelerómetro tri-axial GENEActiv durante 7 días consecutivos las 24 horas del día. Resultados: la muestra evaluada fue de 70 niños (38 niños y 32 niñas) con una media (intervalo de confianza [IC] del 95%) de 4,83 años. No se observaron diferencias significativas en la condición física entre niños y niñas. Los niños realizaron una actividad física de mayor intensidad y tiempo que las niñas. Además, se encontró una fuerte relación significativa entre los componentes de la condición física y los dominios de la actividad física. Conclusiones: estos hallazgos resaltan la importancia de promover estilos de vida activos desde temprana edad y la necesidad de programas de entrenamiento estructurado para reducir el sedentarismo y mejorar la condición física en esta población.Publication Open Access Gamified family-based health exercise intervention to improve adherence to 24-h movement behaviors recommendations in children: "3, 2, 1 Move on Study"(BMC, 2023) Alonso Martínez, Alicia; Legarra Gorgoñón, Gaizka; García Alonso, Yesenia; Ramírez Vélez, Robinson; Alonso Martínez, Loreto; Erice Echegaray, Blanca; Izquierdo Redín, Mikel; Ciencias de la Salud; Osasun Zientziak; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa; Gobierno de Navarra / Nafarroako GobernuaBackground Evidence suggests that movement patterns, including physical activity, sedentary behavior, and sleep duration, throughout a 24-h period, have a signifcant impact on biological processes and health outcomes for both young and adult populations. However, 80% of adolescents worldwide are not sufciently active, and many children do not meet international physical activity recommendations for their age. Thus, the aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of a 12-week gamifed family-based health and exercise intervention on physical ftness, basic motor competencies, mental and behavioral health, and adherence to 24-h movement guidelines in children aged 4 to 5 years old. The study will evaluate changes in sedentary levels, physical ftness, basic motor competencies, mental and behavioral disorders, adherence to the exercise program, and compliance with physical activity recom‑ mendations. In addition, the aim of this protocol is to describe the scientifc rationale in detail and to provide informa‑ tion about the study procedures. Methods/design A total of 80 children, aged 4 to 5 years old, will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to one of two groups: the exercise group and the routine care group. The exercise group will undergo a 12-week exercise interven‑ tion, followed by a 12-week follow-up period. On the other hand, the routine care group will undergo a 12-week period of routine care, followed by a 12-week follow-up control period. The exercise program will be implemented in a family setting and facilitated through a gamifed web platform with online supervision, with the hypothesis that it will have a positive impact on physical ftness, anthropometric measures, basic motor competencies, and adherence to 24-h movement guidelines. Discussion The results of this study will provide valuable insights into the impact of a gamifed, family-oriented health and exercise program on various aspects of health, including physical ftness, basic motor competencies, mental and behavioral well-being, and adherence to 24-h movement guidelines. The fndings will contribute to clos‑ ing the gap in current knowledge on the efectiveness of these types of interventions for children and their parents. These fndings will also contribute to the development of future guidelines for promoting physical activity in childrenPublication Open Access Associations between basic motor competencies and physical fitness in Spanish pre-schoolers: a cross-sectional study(BMC, 2023) Legarra Gorgoñón, Gaizka; García Alonso, Yesenia; Ramírez Vélez, Robinson; Erice Echegaray, Blanca; Izquierdo Redín, Mikel; Alonso Martínez, Alicia; Ciencias de la Salud; Osasun Zientziak; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa; Gobierno de Navarra / Nafarroako GobernuaBackground: Basic motor competencies (BMC) play a vital role in child development and are a primary focus of physical education. However, there is a lack of research on BMC in preschool-aged children, making this study particularly significant. The present study aims to examine the relationship between BMC and physical fitness components in Spanish preschool children. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 101 children (n = 52 boys, average age of 4.80 years) living in Pamplona, North Spain. Components of physical fitness (handgrip strength, standing long jump, speed-agility, and cardiorespiratory fitness) were assessed using the PREFIT Battery. Overall physical fitness was computed from the four selected fitness components separately for boys and girls. Higher z-scores values in physical fitness indicate better fitness performance. To assess BMC, the MOBAK KG test battery was applied (subscales of object control and self-movement). Sex, age, and body mass index were used as main confounders. Results: After adjustment for confounding factors, the BMC was positively associated with single (z-scores) components and overall physical fitness sum of z-scores (R 2 from 0.178 to 0.469, all P-values < 0.05). Additional percentile scores weakened the associations, but they still remained significant (R 2 from 0.146 to 0.337, all P-values < 0.05). Compared with participants in the lowest tertile, those in the highest tertile of the MOBAK KG sum score, and in both object movement and self-movement test subscales had significantly higher scores in single fitness component (z-scores or percentile) and overall physical fitness sum of z-scores (all P for trend < 0.001). Conclusions: Our results revealed that higher BMC is associated with better physical fitness in Spanish preschool children. The findings emphasize the crucial role that basic motor competence plays in promoting physical activity in preschool children.
