Evaluación de la Actividad y Aptitud Física en el Modelo de Educación Deportiva: Revisión Sistemática

Abstract

The sport education model (SEM) is the most widely researched and implemented pedagogical model in physical education (PE) field. The SEM promotes enthusiastic, competent, and literate people through sports has evolved through non-sports content, practical lessons, and physical conditioning to promote physical activity (PA) and fitness. This study aimed to systematically review the SEM PA and fitness outcomes reported in the PE and related fields and identify new trends for future research directions since Hastie et al.’s (2011) study. The research articles selected were found through six databases: ResearchGate, Web of Science, Scopus, SportDiscuss (EBSCO), ERIC (ProQuest), and Google Scholar. The articles were selected using the following criteria: (a) peer-reviewed studies in indexed international journals, (b) SEM implemented in isolation or compared with others, (c) findings focused on PA or fitness, (d) elementary–college or related setting research, and (e) published in English or Spanish. The associated keywords (sport education, pedagogical models, physical activity, and fitness) were used in different combinations. A total of 21 articles were identified through the search process and analyzed using PRISMA guidelines. Articles were initially categorized according to the following dimensions: country of origin, focus, topics, length of season, participants (grade, gender, age), and results. Since Hastie et al.’s (2011) review, the number of studies related to the SEM and PA as season outcomes, new contexts, and research purposes has expanded. The results showed the SEM’s feasibility as a PM that can promote moderate/vigorous physical activity and health-related fitness components (cardiovascular) through different topic contents and in academic and non-academic settings.
