Resumen

One of the main causes of coronary, respiratory and metabolic diseases among others, in today’s society, is sedentary life. Sedentarism comes from the high rate of abandonment of physical-sport practice in the period of adolescence. The consolidation of healthy habits from an early age, including the daily practice of physical activity, is essential to improve adherence over time. The main objective of this study was to carry out a motor intervention program in an infant education class in order to improve their physical condition-health. Nineteen infants (10 boys, 9 girls) aged 3 years participated in this study. The intervention was conducted over a period of 6 weeks. Families were also made aware about the importance of physical activity. Anthropometric variables of height and weight were measured, as well as physical condition variables such as speed and long jump, before and after the intervention. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test revealed the normality of the sample which allowed a comparison of means with Student’s t-test. The results obtained in the physical tests reveal that the physical condition of the participants improved ostensibly, although this improvement was only statistically significant in the case of the 4x10 test. Nevertheless, the work in this line shows a positive tendency towards the improvement of the physical condition-health, thus education professionals are expected to continue working in this direction.
