System exercise and nutritional suggestions for organized games of learners UNAH-TEC-Danli

Abstract

The article is the result of an experimental study (Pre-experiment [Pre-test and posttest]). Whose aim of this study propose a system of physical exercises and nutrition tips to improve body mass index (BMI) and Ruffier Index (IR) and improve the quality of life, and incorporate it as a central focus of the program organized by subject Games UNAH-TEC-Danlí.

The population is 70 students representing the universe of inquiry and it was selected intentionally. Several authors have done studies on the subject, because of its great importance to the health of students. Prestigious foundations were considered for this study, selecting exercises and nutritional suggestions for the intervention.

Such exercises contributed greatly to improve BMI and IR: the first index of the sample studied in the experiment was improved by 84 %, remained still by 3 % and resulted worse in 13 %. In the second index relative to the study sample, it was 95 % improved, remained still by 4 % and resulted worse by 1 %.

The end result was obtaining a 0.99 Pearson coefficient in BMI and IR correlation. The purpose of this study proves to be helpful in improving the quality of life. If we improve BMI, in turn we improve the functioning of the heart, evidenced through the techniques and methods applied research related to theoretical and mathematical empirical levels.
