La práctica del deporte y las plataformas digitales frente al sedentarismo en tiempos de pandemia Covid-19

Abstract

ABSTRACT Communication in new technologies is presented as a way to cope with a sedentary lifestyle in times of the COVID-19 pandemic, digital platforms being used mostly. Due to the confinement in which humanity was involved for its own safety and survival, thus adapting to a new lifestyle, however, we can appreciate that these new ways of communicating and learning were somewhat forced due to the speed with which the that were introduced not only in the educational aspect but also in the daily life of students and employees, adapting them to schedules and routines inappropriate for the days after the pandemic. The research aims to find out if digital platforms were used to avoid a sedentary lifestyle in the first and second high school students of the Unidad Educativa 17 de Abril del Cantón Quero through a descriptive investigation with a qualitative and quantitative approach through the application of surveys to 191 students, obtaining as a result that despite the fact that the vast majority of students were unaware of these new technologies, they knew how to take advantage of them in a satisfactory way, this being a tool not only to communicate but also to do sports at home through videos or courses found on the network, with the majority of the results of the survey being favorable responses and making great use of digital platforms to mitigate the sedentary lifestyle that was present more strongly during confinement.
