Aerius

Abstract

In the current era, practicing sports has become a fundamental activity for maintaining a healthy and balanced lifestyle. A healthy lifestyle refers to the set of habits and behaviors that people adopt to maintain and improve their physical, mental, and social health. According to the Community of Madrid (n.d.), it involves practices such as regular physical exercise, proper nutrition, enjoying free time, socializing activities, and maintaining high self-esteem. The implementation of habits such as regular physical activity, a balanced diet, adequate rest, and stress management contributes significantly to the prevention of chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and mental disorders (World Health Organization [WHO], 2023). It not only provides physical benefits but also fosters discipline, teamwork, and personal improvement. However, in many cases, the lack of infrastructure, resources, and opportunities can limit access to practicing sports. This is why, given our experience as students of Physical Culture, Recreation, and Sports, we are preparing for the creation of AERIUS. a sports club focused on sports such as basketball, also known as basketball, is a team sport played between two teams of five players each. One of its main objectives is to score points by introducing the ball into the opposing team's basket. According to Sáenz-López Buñuel et al. (2020), basketball is an activity that promotes not only the development of specific motor skills such as dribbling, passing, and shooting, but also cognitive abilities such as decision-making, perception of the environment, and anticipation in dynamic game situations. This sport is characterized by its dynamism, requiring skills such as dribbling, passing, and shooting. James Naismith is the inventor of basketball in 1891. On the other hand, ultimate frisbee, formerly known as ultimate frisbee, is a non-contact team sport played with a flying disc. The objective is to score points by passing the disc to a teammate in the opponent's end zone. Players are not allowed to move while holding the disc and must advance by passing it. This sport is distinguished by its "spirit of the game" principle, as it is a self-given sport, meaning the player is their own judge. Ultimate frisbee was developed in 1968 by Joel Silver, Buzzy Hellring, and Jonny Hines in Maplewood, New Jersey (Wikipedia, n.d.). In search of a solution to one of the current problems that these two sports have, and that is that the people in charge of these projects do not have enough experience in the club, apart from the experience we have as students of C.F.R.D at the Santo Tomas University, Coach Andrés Contreras has had development in clubs such as Búhos de Chía and Vikingos de Funza on the basketball side, as for Ultímate he has trained at Monkeys Club in Cota and participated as a representative player in ASCUN, As for coach Valentina Rivero, she has had practice in immersions with basketball players from the municipality of Cota and as for Ultímate, she has represented the university in the ASCUN university tournament, As students of the Santo Tomas University, we have in the syllabus subjects such as team sports, alternative sports and subjects belonging to the area of ​​​​humanities that allow us to have a broad focus on the inclusion and knowledge of ethics and religion that can be present in different players. As for the composition of the club, it is important to clarify that the club will be located in the Villas de Aranjuez neighborhood, a neighborhood in which we have approximately a potential of according to data from the District Secretariat of Social Integration (2022), the town of Usaquén in Bogotá has a young population (14 to 28 years old) of 120,146 people, which represents 20.7% of the total population of the town.
