A 12‑Month Follow‑Up of PROCARE+, a Transdiagnostic, Selective, Preventive Intervention for Adolescents At‑Risk for Emotional Disorders
(2023) Vivas-Fernandez, Manuel; Garcia-Lopez, Luis J.; Piqueras, Jose A.; Espinosa-Fernandez, Lourdes; Muela-Martinez, Jose A.; Jimenez-Vazquez, David; Diaz-Castela, M. Mar; Ehrenreich-May, Jill
Few studies have reported long-term follow-up data on selective preventive interventions for adolescents. No follow-up selective preventive transdiagnostic studies for adolescents at-risk for emotional disorders, such as anxiety and depression, have been reported. To fill this gap, this study aims to provide the first follow-up assessment of a randomized controlled trial (RCT) studying selective transdiagnostic prevention in at-risk adolescents. A 12-month follow-up assessment was conducted with subjects who originally received either PROCARE (Preventive transdiagnostic intervention for Adolescents at Risk for Emotional disorders), PROCARE+, which includes the PROCARE protocol along with personalized add-on modules or an active control condition (ACC) based on emotional psychoeducation, and their respective booster session for each experimental condition. 80 subjects (47.5% girls) aged between 12 and 18 years (M = 14.62; SD 1.43) who completed these treatment conditions were available for the 12-month follow-up. The results demonstrate the superior long-term efficacy of the PROCARE+ intervention in mitigating emotional symptoms and obsessive–compulsive symptomatology compared to the PROCARE and ACC conditions, with effect sizes notably exceeding those commonly observed in preventive programs. While the three treatments demonstrated beneficial impacts, the pronounced results associated with PROCARE+ at the 12-month follow-up emphasized the importance of personalized treatment modules and the sustained benefits of booster sessions in the realm of preventive psychological interventions. The findings also highlight the potential role of add-on modules in enhancing the effects of the PROCARE+ condition.
A Dog Accompanying a Man Makes Social Threatening Contexts Less Aversive and Enhances Perceived Safety Regardless of Societal Safety Levels
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2023-11-24) Delgado-Rodríguez, Rafael; Gantiva, Carlos; Ordóñez-Pérez, David; Linares, Rocío
Research shows that the inclusion of a dog in pictures showing a man in threatening scenarios improves women’s emotional reactions to them. However, the magnitude of this “dog-accompanying effect” (i.e., whether the inclusion of a dog renders socially threatening scenes less aversive, neutral, or positive) in societies differing in terms of safety remains unknown. To address this, undergraduate women from societies differing in safety levels (lower [Colombia, n = 120] and higher [Spain, n = 131] safety levels) provided valence, arousal, dominance, and safety ratings to images depicting a man alone or with a dog in threatening scenes, as well as to images of pleasant and neutral social scenes. The same response pattern was found in both countries: when viewing images of a dog accompanying a man, women gave lower valence, dominance, safety, and calmness ratings than when viewing images of neutral scenes. Conversely, women gave higher valence, dominance, safety, and calmness ratings when observing images of a dog accompanying a man compared with images showing the man alone in threatening scenes. Overall, these data indicate that a dog’s presence in pictures buffered negative emotional reactions to photos of threatening social scenes in societal contexts differing in safety levels, but still (slightly) activated the defensive motivational system. The slight activation of the defensive motivational system is interpreted as an adaptative response of the person to reduce or avoid potential harm (e.g., a hypothetical attack by the man). Our study provides a deeper understanding of the influence of dogs on women’s emotional reactions to images of threatening scenes by clarifying the magnitude of the dog effect in societies differing in safety levels.
A Meta-Analysis of the Relationship Between Emotional Intelligence and Academic Performance in Secondary Education: A Multi-Stream Comparison
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2020-07) Sánchez-Álvarez, Nicolás; Berrios-Martos, María Pilar; Extremera, Natalio
This study was a quantitative meta-analysis of empirical research on the relationship between emotional intelligence (EI) and academic performance (AP) that included the threemain theoreticalmodels of EI.We conducted a computerized literature search in the main electronic databases. Forty-four of an initial 3,210 articles met the inclusion criteria. With 49 effect sizes and a cumulative sample size of 19,861 participants, we found significant heterogeneity indices indicating a variety of results. In general, the results of this study indicated a significant effect of EI on AP (Z = 0.26). Average association between EI and AP was higher in studies measured EI as ability (Z = 0.31), than studies measured EI as self-report (Z = 0.24), and self-report mixed EI (Z = 0.26). In the educational field, this meta-analysis provides information on the specific role of EI as a function of used measures. Some practical implications are discussed.
A red code triggers an unintended approach motivation toward sweet ultra-processed foods: Possible implications for front-of-pack labels
(Elsevier, 2019-09-23) Lemos, Thayane C.; Almo, André; Campagnoli, Rafaela R.; Pereira, Mirtes G.; Oliveira, Leticia; Volchan, Eliane; Krutman, Laura; Delgado-Rodríguez, Rafael; Fernández-Santaella, María del Carmen; Khandpur, Keha; David, Isabel A.
Front-of-package labels (FOPL) are recommended to reduce consumer intake of ultra-processed food products (UPP). The multiple traffic-light label is one example of FOPL that indicates the content of target nutrients in products by displaying red (high), amber (medium), and/or green (low) color-coding. The red code may implicitly enhance sweetness perception and approach dispositions toward sweet UPP via cross-modal visual-taste interactions. We conducted two experiments to examine the possibility of contradictory influence of explicitly learned and implicit cross-modal associations on the emotional responses evoked by UPP pictures. In both experiments, we first explicitly associated the color codes with health-related meanings. In Experiment I (n = 78), a psychometric tool estimated the emotional responses (pleasantness and arousal ratings) evoked by UPP pictures when preceded by red, amber, or green color-codes. In Experiment II (n = 24), we recorded participants’ electrocortical brain activity to assess the early posterior negativity (EPN) component as an index of the emotional responses to UPP. The reported pleasantness (Experiment I) and the EPN amplitude (Experiment II) were greater for sweet UPP relative to salty UPP when primed with red codes but not when primed with green or amber. A red code increased positive emotions toward sweet UPP despite its explicit association with increased health-risks. Thus, the use of multiple traffic-lights might lead to an unintended implicit approach behavior toward sweet UPP. Designers, researchers, and policy makers may consider color-taste cross-modal associations when designing, testing, and applying FOPL.
A specific benefit of retrieval-based concept mapping to enhance learning from texts
(Springer Link, 2019) Ortega-Tudela, Juana M.; Lechuga, M. Teresa; Gómez-Ariza, Carlos J.
Research has shown that retrieval activities, that is, actively recalling previously studied information, may substantially contribute to learning from complex educational materials, sometimes more so than other more popular techniques such as rereading and elaborative study. In this context, recent studies (Blunt and Karpicke, J Educ Psychol 106:849–858, 2014) have reported that two different retrieval formats (free recall by writing down as many ideas as possible and creating a concept map in the absence of texts) are equally effective as learning tools. Given the benefits frequently attributed to concept mapping and the potential practical implications of this finding, we aimed to further examine the relative effectiveness of both retrieval-based activities. In Experiment 1, we conceptually replicated the main finding from Blunt and Karpicke’s study to show that the two formats may lead to similar learning outcomes. In Experiment 2, we coupled both retrieval formats but manipulated the order in which the activities were performed. Results revealed that retrieval-based concept mapping before free recall by means of paragraph writing resulted in better learning on a 2-week delayed test than performing the same activities the other way round. These findings contradict the general idea that it is retrieval itself, regardless of the activity it is embedded in, what promotes learning. From a more applied standpoint, our results join others from recent studies to show that combining different retrieval activities when dealing with educational materials might be particularly effective.
Aberrant Cerebral Blood Flow Responses during Cognition: Implications for the Understanding of Cognitive Deficits in Fibromyalgia
(American Psychological Association, 2015) Montoro, Casandra I.; Duschek, Stefan; Muñoz, Cristina; Fernández, María José; Reyes del Paso, Gustavo A.
Objective: There is ample evidence for cognitive deficits in fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS). The present study investigated cerebral blood flow responses during arithmetic processing in FMS patients and its relationship with performance. The influence of clinical factors on performance and blood flow responses were also analyzed. Method: Forty-five FMS patients and 32 matched healthy controls completed a mental arithmetic task while cerebral blood flow velocities in the middle (MCA) and anterior (ACA) cerebral arteries were measured bilaterally using functional transcranial Doppler sonography (fTCD). Results: Patients′ cognitive processing speeds were slower versus healthy controls. In contrast to patients, healthy controls showed a pronounced early blood flow response (during seconds 4–6 after the warning signal) in all assessed arteries. MCA blood flow modulation during this period was correlated with task performance. This early blood flow response component was markedly less pronounced in FMS patients in both MCAs. Furthermore, patients displayed an aberrant pattern of lateralization, with right hemispheric dominance especially observed in the ACA. Severity of clinical pain in FMS patients was correlated with cognitive performance and cerebral blood flow responses. Conclusions: Cognitive impairment in FMS is associated with alterations in cerebral blood flow responses during cognitive processing. These results suggest a potential physiological pathway through which psychosocial and clinical factors may affect cognition. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
Academic engagement: A diary study on the mediating role of academic support
(ELSEVIERRADARWEG 29, 1043 NX AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS, 2020-05) Robayo-Tamayo, Mauricio; Blanco-Donoso, Luis Manuel; Román, Francisco J.; Carmona-Cobo, Isabel; Moreno-Jiménez, Bernardo; Garrosa, Eva
Based on the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model, this diary study investigated the mediator role of academic resources in the relationship between personal resources and variables of well-being. The study postulates that the perceived level of academic support received by students during the day mediates the relationship between the levels of self-efficacy and curiosity, measured early in the day, and the level of academic engagement measured at the end of the day. Ninety-four undergraduates filled in a general questionnaire and subsequently completed a daily questionnaire, for 5 consecutive academic days (470 diary entries). The multilevel analysis showed a positive relationship between self-efficacy and curiosity and academic engagement. In addition, the results revealed a positive relationship between academic support and academic engagement. Finally, the results showed partial mediation of academic support in the relationship between self-efficacy and academic engagement and in the relationship between curiosity and academic engagement. The results can be used to improve teaching and learning programs in colleges and universities.
Actitudes y conocimiento sobre la Intervención Asistida con Animales entre profesionales de la educación.
(Universidad de Oviedo, 2023-06-23) Martos-Montes, Rafael; Díaz-Sánchez, María Eugenia; López-Cepero, Javier; Delgado Rodríguez, Rafael; Ordóñez-Pérez, David
La intervención Asistida con Animales (IAA) aplicada a los ámbitos terapéuticos, educativos y de intervención social ha alcanzado un gran auge en los últimos años como estrategia complementaria a la intervención convencional. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar las actitudes y conocimientos sobre la IAA por parte del personal docente (Educación Infantil, Primaria y Secundaria). Han participado en el estudio un total de 110 docentes (79,1% mujeres), con una edad media de 42 años, pertenecientes a 30 centros educativos. A través de un formulario online se ha recabado información sobre sus actitudes, intención de uso y conocimientos sobre la IAA, así como su experiencia previa con animales y las actitudes hacia ellos. Los resultados muestran una actitud positiva e intención de uso hacia la IAA, lo que contrasta con la escasa formación y conocimiento sobre la IAA. La inmensa mayoría del profesorado (79,1%) nunca ha participado en programas de IAA, no obstante, un porcentaje similar (77,3%) ha manifestado su interés y predisposición por formarse en este tipo de intervención. Esta actitud positiva abre las puertas al desarrollo de programas de IAA en el ámbito educativo y a la formación del personal docente, lo que podría enriquecer la atención educativa.
Acute and chronic effect of physical activity on cognition and behaviour in young people with ADHD: A systematic review
(ELSEVIER, 2018-06) Suárez-Manzano, Sara; Ruiz-Ariza, Alberto; De la Torre-Cruz, Manuel J.; Martínez-López, Emilio J.
Background Young people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often have learning and behavioral control difficulties. Aim The aim of this review is analyse the acute and chronic effect of physical activity (PA) on the cognition and behaviour of children and adolescents with ADHD. Methods Studies were identified in five databases (PubMed, SPORTDiscus, ProQuest, Web of Science, and SCOPUS), from January 2000 through to January 2017. A total of 16 interventional studies met the inclusion criteria. Results/conclusions PA practice of 20–30 min (intensity 40–75%) produces a positive acute effect on processing speed, working memory, planning and problem solving in young people with ADHD. However, these effects on behaviour are contradictory and vary depending on age. Chronic PA practice (≥30 min per day, ≥40% intensity, ≥three days per week, ≥five weeks) further improves attention, inhibition, emotional control, behaviour and motor control. The results must be treated with caution, because only 25% of the studies used confounders. Implication More research is needed to justify the causes of these effects. It is necessary to establish programs with regard to the duration, intensity, kind of exercise, and time of PA to improve cognition and behaviour in young people with ADHD taking into account potential confounders.
Adaptation and Psychometric Properties in Spanish of the Herth Hope Index in People Who have Attempted Suicide
(SPRINGER, 2021-03-01) Sánchez-Teruel, David; Robles-Bello, María Auxiliadora; Camacho Conde, José Antonio
Suicide is a major global public health problem. The most predictive behavior of completed suicide is prior suicide attempt. However, studies focused on risk factors have to date proved unsuccessful in reducing death by suicide rates. To adapt a hope assessment tool to a Spanish clinical population having carried out a suicide attempt, to evaluate whether hope modulates the resilience level following discharge from the emergency department. The sample comprised 682 people (62.4% female) aged between 18 and 77 years (M = 39; SD = 19.1) with previous suicide attempts who were administered the Herth Hope Index, the Beck Hopelessness Scale, and the 14-item Resilience Scale. The HHI in Spanish (IEH) showed a high internal consistency (α = .97), a two-dimensional structure that explains 73% of the variance with high goodness-of-fit indices (GFI = .91; CFI = .89; RMSEA = .08), and divergent validity of -.77 with hopelessness. Significant hope-related differences by resilience level were also observed. Hope modulates resilience to suicide attempts and a new scale adapted to the Spanish clinical population is offered. This short tool is easy to use in emergency department settings and predicts the level of potential vulnerability to more serious future repeated attempts.

Adolescent emotions toward sweet food cues as a function of obesity and risky dieting practices
(ELSEVIER, 2018-09) Miccoli, Laura; Martínez-Fiestas, Myriam; Delgado-Rodríguez, Rafael; Díaz-Ferrer, Sandra; Rodríguez-Ruiz, Sonia; Fernández-Santaella, M. Carmen
This study examined whether poor health habits – those associated with a higher risk of developing eating disorders or obesity – modified adolescents’ emotions toward sweet food cues. We aimed to answer the following questions: Is adolescent obesity accompanied by excessive enjoyment of sweets? Or is any risk habit, regardless its stronger association with obesity or disordered eating, associated with less food enjoyment? 552 Spanish adolescents (279 females) viewed pictures of sweets interspersed with emotional images as controls. Participants recorded their feelings of pleasure, activation, control, and food craving while looking at each picture; then answered questions on their general health, food intake, and physical activity; finally, their body mass index was estimated. We performed MANCOVAs on feelings during sweets, including individual risk habits as factors, and sex, age, and hunger as covariates. We performed the same analysis on emotional and neutral images. Results revealed that among risk habits, obesity and unhealthy dieting practices were accompanied by less enjoyment of sweets (mostly less pleasure and less food craving). On the contrary, risk habits had no effect on adolescents’ feelings during emotional stimuli, unrelated to food. Thus, the presence of habits linked to obesity and disordered eating was associated with reduced reward value of sweet food cues, supporting the need to approach both disorders from an integrative perspective. Consistent with recent prevention strategies, the results suggest the potential role of food enjoyment as a protective factor.
Affective pictures and the Open Library of Affective Foods (OLAF): tools to investigate emotions toward food in adults
(PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE, 2016-08) Miccoli, Laura; Delgado, Rafael; Guerra, Pedro; Versace, Francesco; Rodríguez-Ruiz, Sonia; Fernández-Santaella, M. Carmen
Recently, several sets of standardized food pictures have been created, supplying both food images and their subjective evaluations. However, to date only the OLAF (Open Library of Affective Foods), a set of food images and ratings we developed in adolescents, has the specific purpose of studying emotions toward food. Moreover, some researchers have argued that food evaluations are not valid across individuals and groups, unless feelings toward food cues are compared with feelings toward intense experiences unrelated to food, that serve as benchmarks. Therefore the OLAF presented here, comprising a set of original food images and a group of standardized highly emotional pictures, is intended to provide valid between-group judgments in adults. Emotional images (erotica, mutilations, and neutrals from the International Affective Picture System/IAPS) additionally ensure that the affective ratings are consistent with emotion research. The OLAF depicts high-calorie sweet and savory foods and low-calorie fruits and vegetables, portraying foods within natural scenes matching the IAPS features. An adult sample evaluated both food and affective pictures in terms of pleasure, arousal, dominance, and food craving, following standardized affective rating procedures. The affective ratings for the emotional pictures corroborated previous findings, thus confirming the reliability of evaluations for the food images. Among the OLAF images, high-calorie sweet and savory foods elicited the greatest pleasure, although they elicited, as expected, less arousal than erotica. The observed patterns were consistent with research on emotions and confirmed the reliability of OLAF evaluations. The OLAF and affective pictures constitute a sound methodology to investigate emotions toward food within a wider motivational framework. The OLAF is freely accessible at digibug.ugr.es.
Age-related changes in selection, recognition, updating and maintenance information in WM. An ERP study in children and adolescents
(Elsevier, 2020) Pelegrina, Santiago; Molina, Rosa; Rodríguez-Martínez, Elena I.; Linares, Rocío; Gómez, Carlos M.
Possible age-related changes in different working memory (WM) subcomponents were assessed by analyzing the event-related-potentials associated with the n-back task. Two versions of the task (0- and 1-back) were administered to 168 subjects between 6 and 20 years of age. In both n-back tasks, lists of symbol-letter pairs were presented. Participants had to select the letter and decide whether it matched the target in memory. Selection-matching of the relevant item, as indexed by an N2pc component, was evident in all age groups, indicating early maturation of this ability. The decreasing amplitude of the P300 with age, coupled with the longer duration of the load effect in young children, suggests that WM updating requires greater processing resources at younger ages. The slow wave, present during the maintenance period, showed an inversion of polarity with age in anterior sites that could reflect age-related changes in the active maintenance of information in WM.
Age-Related Differences in Creative Cognition: The Mediating Role of Executive Functions and Associative Processes
(American Psychological Association, 2024) Peláez-Alfonso, José Luis; Pelegrina, Santiago; Lechuga, M. Teresa
Divergent and convergent creativity may rely on associative and executive control processes. We examined whether age-related differences in both types of creativity are mediated by executive functions and associative processes. A total of 427 primary, secondary-school, and university students completed a battery of tasks measuring executive functioning (updating, inhibition and shifting), verbal fluency, and divergent (fluency, flexibility, and originality) and convergent creativity (remote-associative problems). The results confirmed that executive and associative processes accounted for age-related differences in divergent and convergent creativity, albeit to different degrees. Specifically, verbal fluency contributed to explaining age differences in both types of creativity, whereas updating and inhibition mediated age-related differences only in convergent creativity. These findings provide evidence for the differential contribution of executive and associative processes to age-differences in both types of creativity, and provide additional support for a dual-process view of creativity.
Age-related differences in working memory updating components
(Elsevier, 2016) Linares-Martínez, Rocío; Bajo, María Teresa; Pelegrina, Santiago
The aim of this study was to investigate possible age-related changes throughout childhood and adolescence in different component processes of working memory updating (WMU): retrieval, transformation, and substitution. A set of numerical WMU tasks was administered to four age groups (8-, 11-, 14-, and 21-yearolds). To isolate the effect of each of the WMU components, participants performed different versions of a task that included different combinations of the WMU components. The results showed an expected overall decrease in response times and an increase in accuracy performance with age. Most important, specific age-related changes in the retrieval component were found, demonstrating that the effect of retrieval on accuracy was larger in children than in adolescents or young adults. These findings indicate that the availability of representations from outside the focus of attention may change with age. Thus, the retrieval component of updating could contribute to the age-related changes observed in the performance of many updating tasks.
Análisis intercultural del trastorno por uso de alcohol: criterios diagnósticos en universitarios
(Córdoba: Asociacion Argentina de Ciencias del Comportamiento; Facultad de Psicologia Universidad de Córdoba, 2020) Conde, Karina; Gimenez, Paula Victoria; Diaz Castela, Mª del Mar; Ortega Martínez, Ana; Cremonte, Mariana
El objetivo de este estudio fue examinar las manifestaciones clínicas del trastorno por uso de alcohol (TUA) en universitarios de países con distintas prácticas de consumo, y estimar el potencial de una medida de consumo de alcohol como marcador de TUA. Participaron estudiantes de universidades en Argentina (N = 2157), España (N = 320) y Brasil (N = 149). Se evaluaron criterios diagnósticos de TUA, puntos de corte compatibles con el DSM 5, y una medida de consumo excesivo episódico de alcohol. Se realizaron análisis descriptivos y de clases latentes. Generalmente el TUA grave se caracterizó por endorsar todos los criterios; el moderado-leve por tolerancia, pérdida de control, problemas interpersonales y negligencia de obligaciones. En los países con un patrón húmedo de consumo (Argentina y España) los criterios uso en situaciones peligrosas y consumo a pesar de problemas mentales/físicos se manifestaron en categorías distintas. La medida de consumo presentó potencial como marcador de TUA.
Analysis of the effect size of overweight in muscular strength tests among adolescents: Reference values according to sex, age, and body mass index.
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2018-05) Martínez-López, Emilio J.; De la Torre-Cruz, Manuel J.; Suárez-Manzano, Sara; Ruiz-Ariza, Alberto
The aim of this paper is to quantify the effect size of overweight on the results of muscular strength tests in adolescents and to report percentile tables based on sex, age, and body mass index (BMI). The study hypothesized that the effect size obtained from the difference between normal-weight and overweight youth would be greater than the differences between sexes within the same age group. A total of 11,044 Spanish adolescents (48.5% girls) aged 14.39 6 1.21 years (range: 12–16 years) from 42 secondary schools participated in the research. Muscular strength was evaluated using standing long jump, hand grip strength (manual dynamometer), and sit-ups (30 seconds). The effect size was analyzed using the adjusted Hedges’ g˘. The results show that 76.3 and 72.8% of overweight boys and girls, respectively, performed a standing long jump equal to or less than the normal-weight average. The 67.4 and 67.1% of overweight boys and girls, respectively, showed manual dynamometer values equal to or greater than the normal-weight average. Finally, 68.7 and 65.9% of overweight boys and girls, respectively, obtained measures for 30 seconds of sit-ups equal to or lower than the normal-weight average. It can therefore be concluded that the differential effect size between boys and girls is higher than that between normal-weight and overweight adolescents in the 3 strength tests analyzed. Despite the above, these results suggest the value of taking into account the BMI when assessing the muscular strength of young people, in addition to sex and age.
Apoyo parental percibido y motivación adolescente hacia la actividad física.
(Universidad Illes Balears, 2019) De la Torre-Cruz, Manuel J.; Ruiz-Ariza, Alberto; Suárez-Manzano, Sara; Martínez-López, Emilio J.
Este estudio pretendió conocer en qué medida diferentes formas de apoyo social materno y paterno incrementaban el porcentaje de varianza explicada de motivación autodeterminada hacia la práctica de actividad físico-deportiva de sus hijos, más allá de la proporción atribuida a un conjunto de variables personales (sexo, edad, e índice de masa corporal). Cuatrocientos sesenta y nueve adolescentes (50.3% chicas) con edades comprendidas entre los 12 y los 16 años de edad participaron en el estudio. Los instrumentos empleados fueron una adaptación al castellano de la Activity Support Scale y del Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire-2. El análisis estadístico principal consistió en un procedimiento de regresión jerárquica. Los resultados revelaron que para el caso de la motivación identificada el porcentaje de varianza explicada por el modelo ascendió hasta el 25%. Además del sexo y la edad, el apoyo instrumental atribuido a madres y padres contribuía a la explicación de la variabilidad observada. Respecto a la motivación intrínseca, el porcentaje de varianza explicada fue del 27%. Más allá del sexo, el apoyo instrumental materno y paterno contribuyó a la explicación de la variabilidad observada. La percepción juvenil de la provisión de recursos materiales y económicos se asoció con una orientación motivacional que destaca los beneficios que aporta, así como el disfrute y satisfacción que se deriva de la realización de actividad física.
