The first part of this book describes the background and the current state of the art through a summary about: obesity and sedentary lifestyles as one of today’s main public health problems; the relationship between PA, obesity and academic and cognitive performance; and the most recent findings on PA in the classroom, as a tool to improve health and cognitive performance in early childhood. The first part also details the aims and methodology used in the MOVI-da 10! study. The second part specifies the characteristics of the MOVI-da 10! programme, and provides copiable session plans of the 100 activities used in the programme, which can be of use for any professional interested in implementing PA interventions based on active breaks in the classroom.
Numerous studies have shown the positive effects of physical activity (PA) on schoolchildren’s physical, psychological and social health. However, children’s levels of physical inactivity and sedentary lifestyle have increased significantly in recent years, leading to a rise in childhood obesity and cardiovascular disease. The MOVI programmes to promote PA in school settings were launched with the aim of mitigating this public health problem. The latest edition implemented by the research group at Centro de Estudios Sociosanitarios analysed the eô€‡±fectiveness of an extracurricular PA programme (MOVI-da FIT!) based on high intensity interval training (HIIT) in enhancing schoolchildrenâ€...
En la primera parte de este libro, se describen los antecedentes y el estado actual del tema de estudio a través de un breve resumen sobre: obesidad y sedentarismo como uno de los principales problemas de salud pública actuales; la relación entre AF, obesidad y rendimiento académico o cognitivo; asà como, los últimos hallazgos relacionados con la AF integrada en el aula, destinada a mejorar la salud y el rendimiento cognitivo en la infancia. Además, en esta primera parte también se detallan los objetivos y la metodologÃa utilizada en el estudio MOVI-da 10!. En la segunda parte, se especifican las caracterÃsticas del programa MOVI-da 10!, y se detallan de forma reproducible 100 de las diferentes actividades utilizadas en el programa, de tal forma que puedan ser de utilidad para cualquier profesional interesado en llevar a cabo intervenciones de AF a través de descansos activos dentro del aula.
Son muchos los estudios que han puesto de manifiesto los numerosos beneficios que la actividad fÃsica tiene sobre la salud fÃsica, psÃquica y social en la infancia. Sin embargo, los niveles de inactividad fÃsica y sedentarismo en niños y niñas han aumentado significativamente en los últimos años, conduciendo a un aumento de la obesidad infantil y de enfermedades cardiovasculares. Con el objetivo de prevenir este problema de salud pública surgen los programas de promoción de actividad fÃsica en el entorno escolar MOVI. La última edición que el grupo del Centro de Estudios Sociosanitarios ha llevado a cabo analiza la efectividad de un programa de actividad fÃsica extraescolar (MO...

This book provides an overview of the various 'Science of Learning' (SoL) research projects led by researchers at the National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, and international research collaborators. It presents the goals and rationale behind the Science of Learning in Education (SoLE) initiative and examines a spectrum of topics relevant to bolstering our understanding of the science underlying learning. The Science of Learning (SoL) is an advancing field, with proponents extolling its potential impact on educational practice. This book investigates the possible correlations or causal relationships between brain functioning and development, physiology, environment factors, and their impact on learning. It promotes an interdisciplinary approach to understanding biological to behavioural mechanisms of learning that are oriented toward optimizing and maximizing every learner’s potential.

The term Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is used to describe a group of children who have difficulty. with tasks involving movement such that it interferes with their daily living or academic progress. As with other developmental disorders such as autistic spectrum disorder, attention deficit disorder and dyslexia, DCD is now a prominent concern of both researchers and practitioners. This text is aimed at both researchers and professionals who work in a practical manner with the condition and includes professionals in health, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, health visitors, paediatricians, and - in the educational field - teachers and others who are in daily contact with the children - their parents. The essence of the text is that work with children should be guided by research evidence driving the clinical practice which in turn raisies more questions for research. The authors in this text have both experience in research and are engaged in the day-to-day clinical work with children and bring both of these to bear in the chapters they have written.
