Teaching and learning program of soccer technical fundamentals as an alternative of inclusion for overweight adolescents

Abstract

Overweight in adolescence is multi-causal and complex, the article focuses on physical-sports management with an inclusive character and its objective was to elaborate and validate a teaching-learning program of soccer technical fundamentals, as an alternative of inclusion, for adolescents with overweight in physical education. It used a non-experimental, descriptive and explanatory methodology. She applied a non-probabilistic intentional sampling, with inclusion criteria, in an Ecuadorian educational institution, formed by a group of seventh grade, with 28 students, 6 of them with excess weight and 10 physical education teachers. By means of 9 inclusion indicators, class observations and an interview with the teacher were carried out; in addition, using the structural-functional systemic method, the teaching-learning program was designed and validated through the focus group technique with the help of the survey for data collection. The results show insufficient didactic mechanisms that articulate the technical fundamentals of soccer, as an alternative of inclusion for adolescents with excess weight in the class. The application of Pearson's correlation coefficient makes evident the level of significance between the different components of the proposed teaching-learning program.
