Abstract

Introduction: the objective of the study was to determine the effect of a program of gamified games through the physical education class, in the stages of behavioral change and the nutritional status against the consumption of fruits and vegetables, in adolescents of the Jorge Eliécer Gaitán School. Bogotá. Material and Methods: a quasi-experimental pre / post-intervention study of a single group of 66 adolescents between 14 and 17 years of age at the Jorge Eliécer Gaitán IED school - Bogotá, Colombia. At the beginning and at the end of the intervention, the Behavior Change Questionnaire (CCC), validated in the FUPRECOL study (2017) was applied as an indicator of the change of behavior in front of the consumption of fruits and vegetables with the categories of pre-contemplation (1), contemplation (2) , preparation (3) and action + maintenance (4). The variables of weight and height were taken, and the BMI was calculated as markers of nutritional status. A twelve-week intervention was conducted during the physical education classes, with two weekly sessions of 60 minutes each, using compliance and problem solving through gamified games, seeking to improve or acquire HVS (Healthy Living Habits) with topics such as : Smoking and Alcoholism, Balanced Eating (consumption of fruits and vegetables), Physical Activity and Exposure to Screens.
