Book Description
Today's society demands to train children and adolescents who develop in an environment based on respect and the promotion of educational values. This aspect is especially relevant to promoting physical activity and its relationship with healthy habits, such as the consumption of unprocessed foods, the reduction of a sedentary lifestyle and the improvement of adherence to sports. In this sense, the World Health Organization warns that the current rates of overweight and obesity are very high and that we must combat them. From formal education, you can help improve healthy habits with educational programs and especially in Physical Education, a subject where the work of physical, social and cognitive well-being has special relevance. Since the 20th century, studies and research that have aimed to combat unhealthy habits in educational centres and sports schools have increased. Not only by promoting physical activity within the school, but above all by seeking to generate adherence towards the future of students and athletes.

Lecturas de Educación Física. Fichas de 1º de E.S.O.

ISBN: 849823266X
Category : Education
Languages : es
Pages : 111
Book Description
La propuesta que presentaba el autor parte de la necesidad de fomentar el hábito de lectura en los alumnos/as, pero no como algo aislado o separado de la Educación Física, sino relacionado las diferentes lecturas con los distintos contenidos propios de nuestra materia (juegos, salud, higiene, alimentación, valores, cuidado del cuerpo, actividades en la naturaleza, actividad física adaptada, reglas y normas de conviviencia y comportamiento...) Es una información que ofrecemos a los alumnos/as con el objetivo de que lean, obtengan información para aprender, para comunicarse y también para divertirse. En definitiva, esta obra pretende ser un libro de lectura y de actividades, dirigido a los alumnos/as de acceso libre y gratuito para los mismos. La familia de Rafael Morales Monedero, profesional de la enseñanza de reconocido prestigio y elevada capacidad creativa e innovadora, así como un estilo humano diferenciado dotado de una especial sensibilidad, junto con Editorial Wanceulen, han decidido poner todas sus publicaciones en dominio público a disposición y acceso libre y gratuito para toda la comunidad educativa, como homenaje a su labor y su figura y para beneficio de los niños y jóvenes, con los que el autor siempre mantuvo una relación especial de respeto y cariño. "In Memoriam Rafael Morales Monedero (1975-2014)" Autor: Su hermano Enrique José Morales Monedero, Licenciado en Filología Hispánica, Profesor de Educación Secundaria y Director de Instituto. "La labor profesional de Rafael Morales Monedero, ha dejado huella en su Melilla adoptiva, lugar donde se formó, donde se enamoró y formó una familia y donde ejerció su especial magisterio. Malagueño de nacimiento, ha sido una persona muy ligada al deporte desde muy joven, trabajando con niños también desde muy temprano (entrenando equipos de baloncesto en actividades extraescolares en colegios de su ciudad). De aquellas experiencias surgiría su vocación posterior. La empatía necesaria para trabajar con los niños era en él una cualidad superlativa y su relación con ellos siempre ha sido de respeto y de cariño. Su trabajo en las bibliotecas escolares despierta en él la necesidad de llevar a cabo un proyecto muy especial: conectar la Educación Física (su especialidad) con la tan necesaria animación a la lectura. Unos campos, en principio tan desconectados sugieren un gran trabajo necesitado de visualizar y plasmar estrategias válidas y funcionales para fomentar la lectura desde un ámbito tan alejado de la competencia lectora como es la actividad física. Sin embargo, su constancia y su trabajo le llevaron a conseguir esa comunión en unos proyectos elaborados por cursos desde el nivel de 4º de Educación Primaria y llegando sucesivamente hasta el 2º curso de Educación Secundaria. Posteriormente, encontró la manera de cristalizar sus proyectos y convertirlos en realidades editoriales a través del sello Wanceulen. Su ánimo indestructible y su personalidad acabaron por calar en el instinto y sensibilidad de la familia Wanceulen y ese encuentro privilegiado consiguió que pudiera ver su trabajo en las librerías. Sólo el amor a su familia y el nacimiento de su hija, Julia, podían superar al orgullo que sintió al ver su trabajo impreso. Este gran maestro, esta persona irrepetible tuvo que frenar su ímpetu y su vitalidad de una manera abrupta un día de otoño del año 2013, cuando le comunican que una terrible enfermedad se cruzaba en su vida, bueno, en la vida de todos los que tuvimos el privilegio de conocerlo y de amarlo. Tal y como caminó en su vida, se enfrentó a ella con todas su fuerzas y su optimismo vital, incitando a los demás a que levantáramos el ánimo como él hacía. Pero, el destino había escrito su última página. La madrugada del día 24 de julio de 2014 se marchó dejando un vacío inmenso. Nuestro Rafa, nuestro Fali, el maestro Rafa, como le decían sus alumnos, queda inscrito en esa peculiar eternidad que ofrece el acceso a su obra de forma pública y libre, como parte de su legado que ilumina el breve camino que el destino le proporcionó."

Why Fans Matter?
Author: Kausik Bandyopadhyay
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1040222943
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 579
Book Description
This book explores the meanings, significances, and impacts of the complex identities that soccer fans, especially those of men's soccer, represent worldwide. The chapters in this volume construct and reconstruct fandom in terms of diverse fan affiliations from local to global level, and from national to transnational spaces. Soccer or (association) football is a game where fans come alive with one goal. It is soccer’s fanbase that has made it the most popular mass spectator sport in the world. Since the sport’s growth and its codification in the late nineteenth century, soccer and its followers became markers of varied identities. This volume is an attempt to understand the soccer fan’s tryst with such identities, mostly at the level of professional men’s football in different parts of the world. Fans create, represent, break, recreate, transcend, complicate and confuse diverse identities in their attachments with and loyalties to particular clubs, nations, continents, spaces, communities, races, ethnicities, and players. These identities are given shape through the display and observance of diverse forms of fandom and fan subcultures. Against this wider backdrop, the book brings out the commonalities, conflicts and tensions within these fan identities. Why Fans Matter? Fans and Identities in the Soccer World will be a fascinating read for anybody with an interest in sport and its intersection with disciplines such as sociology, political science, history, media studies, or cultural studies. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Soccer & Society.

Handbook of Research on Using Motor Games in Teaching and Learning Strategy
Author: Gil-Madrona, Pedro
Publisher: IGI Global
ISBN: 1799896226
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 511
Book Description
Motor games are incredibly useful in enhancing education and developing critical skills; they can entertain, produce pleasant emotions, improve moods, and increase the level of relationships. Motor games allow social, emotional, and cognitive development as well as the acquisition of motor skills such as knowledge and mastery of body, postural control and adjustment, and improvement of coordination. However, it is essential to select the appropriate game for each context to achieve the desired learning in all students. Further research on the opportunities, challenges, and future directions of motor games in education is necessary to successfully implement them. The Handbook of Research on Using Motor Games in Teaching and Learning Strategy presents significant advances in motor game education and collects research evidence that uncovers the certainties and testifies to the educational power of motor games in various situations and specific contexts that promote the learning of participants. Covering topics such as emotional physical education and educational mediation, this major reference work is ideal for researchers, academicians, educators, practitioners, and students.
