Brief Summary

The main objective of the research project presented is to improve physical activity levels in adolescents who present rates of diagnosed active impairment through the design, development and evaluation of a multidisciplinary intervention program of physical activity to promote healthier lifestyles . This program will follow the principles of the Theory of Self-determination, using Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), a training plan for monitors, teachers and parents, with the aim of achieving greater adherence to the sports practice of adolescents from Extremadura, with the benefits at a psychosocial, cognitive and biological level that this entails.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (8)

• Perception of physical activity levels

  The levels of PA of adolescents were assessed using a scale designed by the WHO and developed in many countries called the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ - A: Hagströmer et al., 2008).

  3 Months

• Type of motivation towards sports

  The motivation of the students will be evaluated when doing physical exercise through the versioned Spanish version (BREQ-2: Moreno-Murcia Cervelló, and Martínez, 2007) of the Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire (BREQ-3: Wilson Rodgers, Loitz , and Scime, 2006).

  3 Months

• Satisfaction of basic psychological needs: scale

  The perception of body image and the desired body image of the students will be analyzed, using the scale of Stunkard, Sørensen, and Schulsinger (1983).

  3 Months

• Levels of physical activity

  The level of physical activity will be measured with Actigraph wGT3X-BT accelerometers will be used, with high reliability and information storage capacity.

  3 Months

• Body Image Dimensional Assessment

  The dimension of the body image of adolescents will be analyzed with the BIDA questionnaire (Segura-García et al., 2012).

  3 Months

• Physical condition

  The physical condition (strength, endurance and agility) will be evaluated by the Alpha Fitness test battery (Ruiz et al., 2011).

  4 Months

• Body composition

  The body fat percentage will be assessed through the subscapular and triciple pligues using the Holtain plicter.

  4 Months

• Body Mass Index (BMI)

  The BMI of the participants will be evaluated. To do this, all young students will be measured and weighed and the BMI calculated using the following formula: BMI = Weight (Kg) / Height2 (Mt). For this, the Scale (SECA 877), and a Leicester Height Measure brand stadiometer, Marsden Group, will be used.

  4 Months

Study Arms (2)

Physical Activity

EXPERIMENTAL

Physical Activity Programme (PAP) was planned for the promotion of PA and other healthy habits in inactive adolescents as an agent of change intervention, in which a trained staff actively disseminates effective practices to improve the PA's habits of adolescents.

Behavioral: Physical Activity Program (PAP)

No Physical Activity

NO INTERVENTION

The control group will be selected in a targeted manner according to the availability of the center. You will not be given any information about healthy habits nor will any physical training program be applied to you, so that you do not give indications that may produce a variation of your habitual behavior.

Interventions

Physical Activity Program (PAP) BEHAVIORAL

A Physical Activity Program (PAP) will be carried out. Previously an initial measure will be made to know the little active adolescents. At the end of the PAF a retention measure will be carried out to know the scope and persistence of the variables analyzed. The PAF will be developed with a frequency of three weekly sessions, of 60 minutes, in the period of the intervention, with the exception of weeks in which there is a public holiday, where we will take measures to recover the class. A schedule for the sessions will be set according to the interests of the participants and will be the same for all. During the sessions, basic physical abilities and motor skills will be worked on with playful proposals focused on the improvement of physical and psychosocial parameters. They will always have the same monitor Graduate in Physical Activity and Sports Sciences, which will be responsible for developing the PAF.
