Abstract
En los últimos años, la investigación de los efectos de la actividad física sobre el rendimiento cognitivo ha aumentado exponencialmente. La evidencia científica ha demostrado que la inactividad física y el sedentarismo están asociados a un peor funcionamiento cognitivo, mientras que una óptima condición física lo mejora. Una herramienta eficaz para incrementar los niveles de actividad física en la infancia y la adolescencia es la práctica deportiva; sin embargo, escasas investigaciones en este campo se centran en el deporte. Así, el objetivo general de la presente Tesis Doctoral fue analizar la influencia de la práctica deportiva durante la infancia y la adolescencia sobre el rendimiento cognitivo. Para conseguir este objetivo, esta Tesis Doctoral se ha estructurado en cuatro estudios, derivándose los tres primeros del proyecto europeo Sport at School. Este proyecto ha sido implementado con niños de segundo de Educación Primaria (7-8 años) pertenecientes a 20 colegios de cinco países: Alemania, España, Francia, Polonia y Portugal...
In recent years, research on the effects of physical activity on cognitive performance has increased exponentially. Scientific evidence has shown that physical inactivity and a sedentary lifestyle are associated with poorer cognitive functioning, while optimal physical fitness improves it. One effective tool to increase physical activity levels in childhood and adolescence is though sport; however, scarce research on this field is focused on sport. Thus, the overall aim of the present Doctoral Thesis was to analyse the influence of sport practice during childhood and adolescence on cognitive performance.To achieve this objective, this dissertation has been structured in four studies. The first three are as a result from the European Sport at School project.
