Prácticas gimnásticas en las habilidades motrices en estudiantes de educación general básica media

Abstract

The research titled "Gymnastic Practices in Motor Skills in Middle General Basic Education Students" has the main objective of determining the level of relationship between gymnastic practices and motor skills. The approach is quantitative, employing a non-experimental design. The scope is correlational as it seeks to establish the relationship between gymnastic practices and motor skills. The study was crosssectional, and the theoretical foundation of the research was deductive, based on established theories to analyze the obtained results. The study was conducted using the MOBAK Test research instrument, and the information obtained was processed with the SPSS statistical program, applying a correlation analysis between the variables. The selected sample consisted of 64 students from the 5th, 6th, and 7th grades of Basic General Education from the educational unit. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov and ShapiroWilk tests were applied, and the significance value (p) was compared with the significance level α=0.05. For motor skills, the significance value obtained was 0.000, and for gymnastic practices, the significance value obtained was 0.018. The values obtained are lower than the established significance level; therefore, the null hypothesis of normality is rejected, suggesting that the distribution of the variables is not normal. Concluding that there is a significant difference between the variables, considering that gymnastics practices are not necessarily required to develop motor skills, although there are several diagnosed activities that could aid the process.
