Influencia de la orientación del espacio sobre el esfuerzo percibido en Educación Física: Juegos motores de cooperación-oposición

The World Health Organization (WHO, 2010) stablishes a minimum physical practice of 60 minutes per day in a range of moderate to vigorous intensity. Participantes were 28 students of 6th Primary Education. Three cooperation-opposition motor games were developed, varying the space orientation. The objectives were to know the adequacy of perceived effort in the three games, in relation to intensity, to achieve health benefits and compare the perceived effort based on the different space orientations. After the completion of each game, the Pictorical Children's Effort Rating Table (PCERT) were distribuited. Results show students do not reach a sufficient intensity in motor games to obtain health benefits, as well as statistically significant differences for the perceived exertion depending on the space orientation, being the game with higher levels the one that presents oriented space with small goals and the game with lower levels is the non-oriented space game.
