Abstract
[Resumen]: La pandemia de la COVID-19 ha obligado a los gobiernos a tomar medidas
drásticas para evitar su expansión, tales como el confinamiento, el distanciamiento
y aislamiento social, o el cierre de instituciones educativas e instalaciones
deportivas, entre otras. Esta situación ha supuesto una modificación radical en el
estilo de vida de la población, disminuyendo la cantidad de actividad física diaria
realizada e incrementando el tiempo destinado a conductas sedentarias, lo cual
afecta negativamente a la salud en sus dimensiones biológica, psicológica y social.
Gracias al avance científico y a la efectividad de las vacunas, y con el foco puesto
en el desarrollo y aprobación de las mismas para los menores de 12 años, los
gobiernos han ido relajando algunas de las medidas específicas adoptadas durante
las peores fases de la pandemia y los centros educativos han abierto sus puertas
para dar comienzo al nuevo curso académico, de forma parcial o totalmente
presencial. Considerando que gran parte de la actividad física acumulada por la
población joven se realiza en el ámbito educativo, y teniendo en cuenta que la
tendencia en los últimos años de este colectivo es la adopción de conductas cada
vez más sedentarias y la disminución en la cantidad de actividad física realizada,
reflejada en las alarmantes cifras de obesidad infantil, se hace necesario
incrementar las horas semanales destinadas a la Educación Física dentro del
currículum educativo. Ante un futuro incierto, no se puede descartar que se
produzcan nuevas situaciones epidemiológicas que obliguen a retomar ciertas
medidas como el cierre de los centros educativos. Será tarea de los gobiernos tratar
de buscar estrategias que minimicen los efectos colaterales de dichas medidas
para conseguir que la vuelta al cole sea lo más segura y saludable posible.
[Abstract]: The COVID-19 pandemic forced governments to adopt drastic measures to control its spread such as confinement, social distancing and isolation, or the closure of educational institutions and sport facilities. This situation has led to a radical change in the population lifestyle. The amount of daily physical activity performed decreased while sedentary behavior increased, negatively affecting biological, psychological and social health status. With the new scientific findings and vaccines effectiveness, governments have allowed the relaxation of some specific measures implemented in the worst times of the pandemic and educational institutions have reopened again for the new academic year. The main focus is now the development and endorsement of vaccines for individuals under the age of 12. Considering that a great amount of physical activity is performed by youths in the educational sphere, it seems to be necessary to increase the weekly hours of Physical Education in the educational curriculum. Further, the tendency in the last years shows an increase in sedentary behavior and a decrease in the time expended in physical activity in this group, which leads to the alarming rise in childhood obesity. Taking into account the actual and future epidemiological situation, the implementation of coronavirus measures, such as educational institutions closure, cannot be excluded. Governments should find strategies to minimize the collateral effects and to ensure a safe and healthy back to school.
