La actividad física y las prácticas recreo deportivas como herramientas para fomentar el bienestar en los adultos mayores y jóvenes de Santo Domingo, Cazucá.

Abstract

In Colombia, a part of the population is in a vulnerable situation. Santo Domingo, Cazucza has a high presence of older and younger adults. This project seeks to promote the well-being of these communities through the application of a recreational-sports and physical activity program. To intervene in the elderly community, the Vivifrail Battery was used as a diagnosis of the state of frailty and the Senior Fitness Test, to determine the level of functionality. Recreational sports are encouraged through the Russian game Gorodki for the elderly. Soccer, Volleyball, Basketball and Dodgeball for the young. On the other hand, to diagnose the physical condition for the young people, physical capacities were measured through the assessment of Strength, flexibility, endurance and agility. Currently, there are more initiatives that approach vulnerable communities through the professional exercise of Physical Culture. However, there are no previous projects carried out in this community that intervene in frailty and functionality simultaneously in older adults, as well as with the practice of Gorodki. This program promotes the well-being of adults and youth in the Cazucá community. This is determined through changes to the scores of the different tests. In addition, the views of the members in each of the programs were collected, highlighting the enjoyment, the improvement of health, learning and the appropriation of sport in the community.
