Abstract
El confinamiento ha dejado al descubierto los riesgos del teletrabajo para la salud: sedentarismo, estrés, depresión, etc. Según numerosos estudios estos problemas pueden mitigarse incorporando actividad física a la rutina diaria. El presente artículo recoge una propuesta creativa de acción basada en el análisis y la experiencia de uso de estrategias audiovisuales para incentivar los hábitos de actividad física. El objetivo es proponer una estrategia ‘gamificada’ de ejercicio físico que pueda resultar amena y fácil de implementar en nuestro día. Es una relación problema-solución basada en estudios para combatir el sedentarismo, el repaso de algunas estrategias y la práctica con la estrategia elegida. El videojuego activo Ring Fit Adventure combina los beneficios para la salud física y mental con el desarrollo de capacidades que aporta la práctica de videojuegos. Por esto se presenta como una propuesta interesante para ayudar a reducir el sedentarismo, y con ello, los niveles de estrés y depresión.
