El deporte como una estrategia esencial para promover el manejo del estrés en estudiantes de Bachillerato.

Abstract

This research focused on physical activity as an extrinsic motivation to reduce stress levels in second-year high school students at the UNE High School. The main objective of our study is to examine how physical activity, based on extrinsic motivation, can promote stress reduction in second-year high school students at UNE High School. The identified problem is that stress and anxiety are the main reasons why second-year high school students do not participate in activities and experience problems with their academic performance.The methodology used was a mixed approach (quantitative and qualitative) and descriptive research. This study worked with a sample of 36 second-year high school students from the UNE high school. Therefore, the data collection techniques and instruments used were: an interview with the institution's teacher and a survey for second-year high school students. Our proposal consists of proposing recreational activities to reduce stress levels through physical activity as an extrinsic motivation. Our proposal is developed in four main phases: resources to be used, and an assessment of the feasibility of the proposal, which encompasses the technical, economic, social, and environmental dimensions.
