Ecuavóley en la coordinación motriz de estudiantes de bachillerato general unificado

Abstract

Research on ecuavóley and the motor coordination of high school students at the Hispano América Educational Unit from March to July 2025 demonstrated a significant impact on the improvement of motor coordination. The general objective was to determine how this traditional Ecuadorian sport influences the development of motor coordination, while the specific objectives focused on diagnosing the initial level, evaluating post-intervention progress, and analyzing the differences between the two periods. The methodology employed a pre-experimental quantitative design with an explanatory approach, using the 3JS Test to measure motor coordination in a sample of 30 students selected by convenience. The intervention activities included technical and tactical ecuavóley exercises, such as passing, receiving, and small-sided games, applied over six weeks. The results showed a significant improvement in the students' motor coordination. At initial diagnosis, 83.3% of students had a low level, while after the intervention, 56.7% reached a high level and 43.3% a medium level. Statistical analysis confirmed significant differences between the pre- and post-intervention measurements, validating the hypothesis that ecuavóley promotes the development of motor coordination. Furthermore, additional benefits were observed in social, cognitive, and emotional aspects. The conclusions highlight the effectiveness of ecuavóley as a pedagogical tool in physical education, recommending its inclusion in teaching plans to promote comprehensive student development. The importance of periodic evaluations and methodological adaptations to address individual needs is emphasized. The study provides scientific evidence on the educational value of this indigenous sport, highlighting its potential to enrich teaching-learning processes in the school setting.
