Diseño de un programa de actividad física en jóvenes con discapacidad cognitiva del Colegio Gustavo Restrepo Sede D Bogotá

Abstract

The objective of this research was to design an adapted physical activity program based on the identification of the individual and contextual factors of young people with cognitive disabilities at the Gustavo Restrepo School, headquarters D in the city of Bogotá, recognizing elements that may affect practice. of physical activity. Method: This is a purposeful study, with a quantitative approach. The study design is descriptive, cross-sectional. The classification of the sample is non-probabilistic, obtained through an intentional sampling taking into account the inclusion and exclusion criteria. It is hoped to characterize the physical conditions of the population through assessment tests supported by the Manual Brockport Physical Fitness Test (BPFT), and with a survey likert scale to parents and caregivers to determine the social, cultural and economic factors that can affect the practice of physical activity. Results: Upon completion of each of the tests proposed to validate the general physical state of the subjects who were part of this study, it can be determined that their body mass index is at normal levels in 75% of the population. As for the aerobic capacity, about 50% of the subjects present low levels, their strength and resistance in the abdominal part is not good, in the ranges of flexibility three parts of the body were present, for the upper limbs 50% of the population shows good flexibility in this part of the body, as well as for the hip flexor muscles, but when comparing the ranges of flexibility for the lower limbs, these are not good since they present very high negative values ​​in The majority of the population, in addition to the above, could be determined through surveys that barriers that hinder inclusion at certain times may exist. social n of the child, appearing often from the same core kin, and even external elements that can affect this process as it may be socioeconomic factors. Conclusions: At the end of this research, it is possible to determine the characterization of the population that allows the design of the physical activity program, trying to correct some deficiencies that appear in the physical conditions of the subjects who carried out the test, additionally it shows some problems that can come to emerge from the context in which young people and their families find themselves.
