(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2023) Mora Delgado , Cesar Ismael; Jarrín Navas, Santiago Alejandro; 0350093092
This research refers to physical activity and sedentarism, understanding that physical activity is the body's muscles' movements to lead a healthy and balanced life. A sedentary lifestyle has been a problem for many years, and people have not seen it as essential to perform physical activity, even ignoring the benefits of this practice. This study analyzed physical activity and sedentarism in adolescents aged 14-16 within the Azogues educational framework in the ‘Juan Bautista Vásquez’ Educational Unit. The research methodology was quantitative; a survey was the instrument for data collection. It was applied to 40 Basic Education and High School students from the institution mentioned above, showing that sedentary lags are still perceived in adolescent students being able to contract chronic diseases, overweight, or obesity caused by the lack of physical activity; so they maintain a certain high percentage of demotivation and situations of sedentary complexity, and at the same time they know the benefits of physical activity; however, they do not practice it. It was determined that there is sedentarism in adolescents.
